Family

I can never say how lucky I am to have the family I do.  I love them all so dearly.  I hate that I can't always show them how much.  Note to self: The way we talk to children becomes their inner voice.

Proud of my friends following their dreams

I am reflecting on how my friends have come so far in their search for happiness.  Stacey, PhD, married, buying a new house and looking to have a baby.  Sue divorced has a baby with a man she loves and he adores her!  Olivera selling her house, finalizing things in New Orleans, and enjoying living.  Andy, works hard and smart.  Enjoying a fruit of his labor this weekend with buying a motorcycle.   It all makes me think of my bucket list.  I have lived a long life thus far and done many things, some worth bragging about.  Perhaps it's time to commit to text my bucket list...

God is so good to me

I can not express enough how wonderful God is.  He has blessed me over and above anything I could have imagined.   He has given me wonderful friends.  I am surrounded by such God fearing people.  My faith is and will continue to grow! I'm so happy.
Today I went to the chiropractor and for the first time in 3 months my back was straight!  He didn't have to adjust my back! Only my neck.  I have been in a great mood all day, had energy, and was surprised to realize that I wasn't in pain.  I have been in prayer, but I feel that a certain friend, who is devoted to Christ, prayer's have done more.

When on door closes ...

It makes such an awful sound!  Emotions are temporary I keep telling myself.  God has a place for me.  I just need to learn patience. And I need to stop doing the worry what if game to myself.

Home

They say home is where the heart is.  Well, I've been in home purgatory for a while.  I'm waiting.  Waiting for my heart to find it's home.  In the meantime I have gotten a house.  It is my home for now.  I am working on me, myself and I right now and that fits.  Home is a word that is special to me... I won't get all sappy here.  Just know that it holds a lot of meaning.  I'm very happy to have a place I can call home now.  I'm enjoying the good and the bad of a 4/3 without much of anything in it.  I look forward to many get togethers with family and friends here. God has blessed me once again beyond by worth and expectations.  Below is the after of the living room.

My Last Birthday

I've had the time of my life!  This was truly the best birthday.  I owe it all to my friends.  Thank you all so much for making it so memorable.  I hope you all had as much fun as I did.
