Jewells of Thought

Watching the coverage of this Election Years Republican National Convention has been a balm for my soul. Saturday’s attempt to silence my Presidential Candidate was simply too close. I still can’t let myself go to that sinking hole of what could have happened. God is still more powerful than the devil.

When I woke up this morning it had been raining. I wasn’t sure we would be able to walk. Then about half an hour later it fortunately had stopped for us. We were able to walk. Somehow between sleeping in and the rain my brain left me and I forgot my medicine when we got back from our wet walk. That or I simply had chicken on my mind we were trying to figure out what to have for dinner and knew that we would most likely have a couple of girls joining us again. Mashed potatoes with gravy was something I knew they would eat and it went with fried chicken. So maybe that was when I lost my knowledge of needing to take my morning medicines.

Unfortunately, there is still the possibility of rain for tomorrow last I heard. I have an early appointment with my Neurologist though and we have a funeral to go to. We will be giving our love to our sweet friend Christine Hubbert’s family. It will be good to see her two daughters again ladies that have meant so much to our family while we all went to Fellowship together through the years.

Do you ever feel like you can’t do what you need to get done due to a change in your routine? Ever since my Dad and brother’s work hours changed we now eat an hour earlier and I cannot get my routine worked out especially right now in the middle of summer. I get up before 7, we walk, but before realizing what time it is we have to get dinner going and it doesn’t give me much time to watch news videos or type out my thoughts for articles. Depending on what day or week it is we seem to have anywhere from one girl up to 3 which is also time consuming and exhausting. Especially when they think they have to be on their phones all day long and trying to talk to them is a challenge.

Anyhow this summer has flown by, which is why I am so confounded that I can’t seem to find that sweet spot like I had last year. Every morning is a little different and I can adapt, but every morning is a rush to get to something: an article or making a new project or finish a project. Somehow I have to have some time to stop and smell the roses and enjoy not rushing. How do I get there though is the question I have to answer for myself.
