• Flowers & Food Create Smiles

  Today is a week, since surgery. I’m itchy more than achy like I was at this stage back in March. The heat has been more irritating than anything besides my nausea the last few days. The nausea usually goes away by afternoon the itchiness and heat don’t. Still I’m just feeling blessed that this journey…

• Writing Prompt:

  What skill would you like to learn? One thing in particular comes to mind. Honestly I don’t know if it’s learning a skill or honing a skill I have learned through my experiences. This skill will be instrumental in hopefully a new job atmosphere I really want to begin now that my last big surgery…

• Wow It’s Already…

  The night before surgery again. It feels like deja Vu, right! This time I think I can safely say I won’t fade away for 5 months like last time. I needed that break and that time to really miss sharing stories with you all. I am already as set as I can be for morning.…

• A Surprise For Me

  Today has been a day. My alarms were not set last night. So I can’t eat breakfast for a little while. That is why I set an alarm early so I can go back to sleep and I will be able to eat breakfast at 7:30 when my second alarm goes off. If I don’t…

• Odds N Ends

  Today started really early this morning when my Dad finally answered his phone. The time was before 5 am. Since then their day has been topsy turvy and so has mine. Of course they had it worse than I have today at least I was able to make it to Homecoming and they were able…

• No-Wifi

  Yesterday after we got home sometime after 3 pm our supposedly smart TV and phones were fully connecting and working. It was frustrating to say the least. Couldn’t watch any of my news and I even had to get through my second bike ride with only a couple songs on my phone that actually by…

• Change of Routine

  Lately I have felt like I am in a holding pattern. Simply waiting for things to happen one way or another. After my last two surgeries some accidents or incidents happened that have me a little paranoid about throwing myself back into a job. However, there is a job position I am considering which will…

• Sandal Troubles

  Not long after Aunt Carol died, we had the Estate Sale on Grandma’s house. My cousin decided to find new homes for some of her Mom’s shoes and sandals. One of them really worked out well for me a pair of her sandals. They were absolutely more comfortable than I ever thought they could be…

• My Evening Thoughts

  Today has had a big twist. My heart has ached for the Kirk Family and their unexpected loss. However, even in the midst of this heartache there is a silver lining he knew Christ and had Salvation. We may be mourning as a nation or at least half of the country, but Heaven gained a…
