Fighting the Good Fight of Faith
(This is one of my first ever blogs, June 12, 2010. I repost today because I thought, just maybe one of my FB friends could see how my Sweetheart and I “fought the good fight of faith” during his illness, 6 years ago. It blessed me then, it blesses me now — NEVER stop fighting…
In Times of Pain and Broken Hearts…..
Yesterday morning, the media broadcasted about the horrendous tragedy in Orlando. For those of us who feel safe in our cozy and comfy homes, it seems a far stretch to understand such an assault on human life. I was endeavoring to put words together for my post today, but then I saw this moving post…
Wise and Harmless
Yesterday, I started to Google something, and SLAM BAM, the warning pictured above (less the ip number) came up with a LOUD buzz that wouldn’t stop. I tried every key to stop it and nothing worked. My computer was totally locked up and my first thought, “This is a scam!” I called Larry, my technical…
Changing is Possible
I know it’s hard to believe, but in all honesty, I was a shy,timid introvert as I grew up. I avoided crowds, parties, and situations that would cause me to HAVE to interact with people. So, obviously, I was not chosen to be “Most Popular”. And, I know it’s even harder to believe that I…
Don’t Be Normal. Be Different. Take the High Road.
How “different” are we from what is “normal” to others? Some say that “It’s NORMAL to be stressed, fearful, overwhelmed, exhausted, angry, sad, speaking hateful about people, and on and on. “Normal” to some is ranting and raving right along with all those who are dissatisfied with politics and politicians. My contention is that “normal”…
Barring a Miracle
Did you ever have someone say that to you about a medical condition, financial situation or personal relationship? Barring a miracle, you’ll have only 6 months to live; barring a miracle, you’ll have to declare bankruptcy; barring a miracle, a divorce is imminent. I heard a minister say that when he and his wife were…
Doing the Right Thing
After 18 years as a Real Estate Broker, today, I will be completing my Real Estate Broker-in-Charge requirements for another 3-year term. My sweetheart had over 30 years under his belt when he went to heaven. After obtaining my initial R/E Associate License, he urged me to obtain my Broker’s license to further assist him…
SHEER Fish-ness!
It’s good to be back home, but our home away from home was AWESOME-ness with SHEER Fish-ness over the last several days. Hootsuite, an app to use to schedule Facebook posts, sure made me look like I was really trying to get a message across…. emphatically, as it reposted Sunday’s post about 8 times (one…
Gone Fishing – Gone Home
I don’t endorse too many places just because my experience may not be your experience, but for years we’ve come to Marvel Family Trout Camp. And, sincerely, it is a little piece of heaven on earth, but that depends on what your “heaven” might look like. Like I said earlier, we call it the “Red…
Gone Fishing – Day 2
For the guys in their cabin, it was up and at ‘em at 4:45 am. Then, off they went to stake claim on our patch of “holy” ground below the dam of Lake Tenkiller where we’d hang out with other ambitious and die-hard fishermen until the horn bellowed that the dam’s water gates would open…
