I'm sitting here this morning in the quiet of the house, before anyone else is up, watching the sunrise behind the Christmas tree. It's beautiful. The pinks and purples and reds... It's just... magnificent. Isn't it beautiful! It's distracting me from my post but what a beautiful distraction... I want to keep taking photos as... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving
Did you have a wonderful Thanksgiving or was it a difficult day for you? Or maybe it was some of both? Mine was the later, some of both. I had a beautiful day with DH and DD but I had little pockets of sadness too. We got rid of cable in October and have been... Continue Reading →
Memories
This morning I ran across an advertisement about creating story books of your life and I was reminded of a book DD gave me several years ago, called, "The Story of my Life". It has prompts for me get the story inside me flowing. I haven't written in it in probably a year. When I... Continue Reading →
Getting my life back…
Y'all, I think I'm taking my life back... or maybe my life is taking me back... either way, I'm so glad. I've been leaving my phone... like when I go upstairs or downstairs, I don't even think about taking my phone! This is HUGE for me. I always have my phone near by in case... Continue Reading →

When I'm watching tv, listening to music, cooking, crocheting, talking on the phone, meditating (though this one is getting better), driving, blogging... you name it. Even when I'm reading!! I often have to read... Continue Reading →
Do you meditate?
Well, my intention was to get back here on Wednesday but that's the day I get to spend with DD so... that didn't happen. Then I just knew it would be yesterday, Thursday, but, alas... it also didn't happen. So here we are today and I have no idea what I want to say. So... Continue Reading →
Letter writing…
Hi Friends! Last week was a rough week so I slacked on my blogging but I'm back again. Currently I'm sitting looking out my front window at the beautiful colors of fall. Ahh... So pretty. Anyway, I spent this past weekend visiting with family. We had a baby shower for my niece and she was... Continue Reading →
Do Hard Things
Here's a little cuteness to start your day. 😊 A long time ago I wrote a sermon entitled, "Do Hard Things". It was for a youth Sunday at a previous little church. I think there were maybe 8 youth and one of them mine. I got the idea from as book I read with my... Continue Reading →
