Upcoming and somewhat unexpected.....

 I will be having two surgeries at the same time so recovery should be about the same for each of them.  Even though the terminology the surgeon used to "help" us decide did take our breath, it seems as though there wasn't a decision to make.  It was just coming to terms with what is going to happen.  I will be fine but overwhelmed and a bit scared are just a few emotions I have encountered.  However, there.is.always something to be thankful for and I am thankful for God arranging the medical team I have in place.  God's hand is everywhere I look.  Thank you God for loving and caring for me.

Our projects have taken a backseat to preparing and digesting my upcoming event.  So there isn't as much to share project wise.  I am trying to complete the bedroom curtains but energy levels are not allowing me to what I would like to do.

I am blessed and ask you to keep me and several others in your prayers.  Please lift Amanda Burks, Debbie Pearsall, Mr. Snow, the Steiner family, missionaries, Dianna Zadeh, the lonely, hurting, our troops,  Jennifer's Mom and Dad, our President and our country.

Thank you for stopping by.  Be the someone you want someone to be to you!

Too Busy to Blog!

I know, I know I have not been a good blogger lately!  I wanted to share my curtain fabric today.  I have been busy cutting, lining, pinning and etc.  I hope to have this project completed soon.  I just love red!

We have been spending the weekends mostly in the pool.  I am just glad I feel like being outside.  I have an appointment tomorrow to see about the removal of the diverticulitis.  Hopefully, it can be done and I can get back to normal.

Please keep my Mom in your prayers.  She is having a biopsy today and hopefully it is nothing.  I appreciate you stopping by.

What have you been doing this Spring?

Great news

Thankful and relief are just a few of my emotions today.  As I listened to the thunder roll ⚡️and watched the rain ☔️Ole Super Nick sleeps 💤beside me I feel at peace!✌️

We left really early today for my colonoscopy.   It was not a big deal at all.  I received great news and we have had a great day.

I began making curtains for our bedroom, I have one almost done and three more to go.  I will post pictures soon.

Thank you again for the sweet cards, calls and most importantly the prayers.  I feel loved and I know everything little thing is going to be alright!

Poo turns the big 5-0 Friday!  If you see him give him  a birthday honk or toot!  He is a sweetie and has stuck right beside me . Hopefully ice cream will be a part of the celebration and fun and he will enjoy his special day!

Be in the moment!!!

Getting unstuck........

Have you ever been in a routine rut?  You know get up, drink a cup or two of coffee, shower, dress, drive to work, work, lunch, drive home, chores, bed, do it again?   I am learning to "see" and appreciate the routine rut and to be thankful!  Being thankful to the good Lord that I am able to drink  two cups of coffee, thankful for ears to hear the wind blow and the birds sing, thankful for water, clothes, my job, food, transportation, our home, the ability to complete chores, a warm bed.  I'm preaching to myself to not think of life as a rut but a blessing.  Thank you Lord for opening my eyes and for lessons learned.


Our family receive good news today regarding a follow up doctor visit for Mom.  Hopefully she is on the right track and will be feeling better soon.

I am thinking of coconut cream pie for some reason!  I guess I will go find my recipe and make one!  Blessings to all and remember live in the moment and be thankful!

Thankfully no changes.......

Hello friends.  I had an uneventful week, thankfully.  I am still experiencing huge energy swings, one day I am dragging the next super woman!  I continue to pray for no more medical events so I can get on with the plan.

God is good and He has blessed me with friends and family that care.  Sometimes an unexpected phone call from a friend can just turn you day around.  I have had several of those.  I have friends at work that have and been through exactly what I am experiencing and their kind words and encouragement and advice is comforting.   Thank you God for allowing me to mature and accept words of wisdom from friends and family.  Thank you God for eyes that see differently and to seek And accept lessons being taught and to have a grateful heart.

There are so many of my friends taking treatments, mending, healing and fighting the good fight.  My prayers are with you and also to those who are missing a loved one that has passed away.  I miss my sweet Daddy but knowing he is well and in heaven allows me to feel better about his departure from this earth and he lives in my heart.

There.is.always a reason be be grateful.  I count my blessings and compare to my burdens, blessings out number burdens.  My burdens have made me stronger and have enabled me to be thankful.  Yes, thankful for life and knowing God loves an undeserving sinner like me.  In my daily walk I try to be better each day and let others know Jesus has residence in my heart.  And when I fall, daily, knowing His amazing grace covers even me, is an undeserved but accepted blessing.  Wow what a Savior!

I am thankful that Mike and Nancy had safe travels to see Jesse and are home.  I am anxious to hear all about their adventures!  My sweet Mom has an appointment tomorrow in Nashville to follow up on a suspicious spot when she had a recent mammogram.  I am praying for good news.  I am thankful that Randy, Lisa and Reed will be able to take her and to be with her for the appointment.  Please pray all is well.

I am enjoying living in the moment with different eyes and a thankful heart.   Breathing , feeling, and taking opportunities to share my story with others, and telling those who are dear to me that I love them has blessed me even more.   If you are not living in the moment want you please join me and feel His difference.  I promise God is better than anything you have ever experienced, He loves you, right.where.you.are.

I will continue to press onward, I want The Prize!
