Growing up at 62
June 8, 2025 Hello! It has been so long since I’ve written. Life has been changing in a myriad of ways. I can’t go through them all now. This post is a place holder for me, so I don’t forget about my project, my life and God’s place in them both. God is good, andContinue reading “Growing up at 62”
Just a Happy New Year!
Sometimes writing seriously can be draining as well as being a release. Today I just want to say Happy New Year! I am recovering from COVID again, 3rd time, but I feel grateful that God provides kind hands, warm puppies and cats, and eventual healing. I keep telling myself that a warm cat plopped onContinue reading “Just a Happy New Year!”
Surviving
December 13, 2024 I am so low today. It seems like a week or so ago, I was excited about Christmas, traveling, and life in general. Today, I got dressed, and it felt like a victory. I’m writing because I tend to hide these days. I “shelter in place” until the storm has blown through.Continue reading “Surviving”
Just for Today
November 27, 2024 Nothing is wrong, but everything is wrong. I’m not even going through the motions today. I know what it is… I am better for awhile and then I am not again. Time is narrowed to a moment at a time. I won’t give in to it, the darkness, the monster. Tomorrow isContinue reading “Just for Today”
Catching Up
November 21, 2024 So much has gone on this fall, I can’t believe it is almost Thanksgiving! I’ve been going in a million directions, and trying to stop, center myself, and sort out what is most important in each moment. I’m not always great at it, but I’m not sure I know anyone who is.Continue reading “Catching Up”
Faith vs. Religion
Sept 5, 2024 “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20 I had a very interesting and revealing meeting with one of my therapists today. We were discussing the goals I’veContinue reading “Faith vs. Religion”
Hello Monday
I feel purposeless today. I get ideas for plans I can accomplish in my house, but I don’t have the strength to do them alone.. So I’m blocked and frustrated. God grant me the wisdom to stop and see that I am not being frustrated in my purpose, rather being invited in a different directionContinue reading “Hello Monday”
The Green Monster
My friend has a new job and is moving soon. I know that I shouldn’t be jealous, but I am. I can look at the situation logically and know that the circumstances causing her to take a new job aren’t ideal, but it doesn’t stop me from being envious. I have looked at others idealisticallyContinue reading “The Green Monster”
Save Me
I have struggled lately, seriously struggled. For no reason I can fathom, the depression has pressed down on me, black and ugly like molasses. I haven’t fought it much. I’ve tried to dress every day, but other than that I have just sat with myself and the warped perspective I have of myself. I thinkContinue reading “Save Me”
