| My life's ups and downs... |
| Monday, November 22, 2010, 7:24pm It's been a very good day. I completed and mailed out many billing statements ---- about thirty or so, or less. All I did today was billing, but got a lot accomplished. So glad we have a short work week. Why?, you ask... I don't know, go ask your dad. =) |
| Sunday, November 22, 2010, 4:45pm REMINDER TO MYSELF: Jeremiah 17:5-8 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. |
| Sunday, November 22, 2010 I feel better today... My stomach was upset all day yesterday no matter what I did to make it feel better. The first attack of IBS I've had for several years. Stayed in my jammies all day, used the heating pad, took a nap, ate, didn't eat, sipped tea. Thank God it's over. It's about 9:12am. I'm thinking I need to get my butt in the shower or miss another church service. I am parched... been in the desert for too long. |
| Saturday, November 20, 2010 Happy Birthday to my oldest sister, Yvette... She is fifty-four years old today. I remember when my grandma's were in their fifties----and we thought they were OLD! Doesn't seem quite so old on arrival. |
| Friday, November 19, 2010 This morning I woke up frustrated and angry. Before waking, I had a frustrating dream where I was mopping up the bathroom floor of poop and water. My little sister had pooped in the tub and kept coming into the bathroom, re-mucking herself to my chagrin. Finally, her dress was unwearable. No matter how many times I told her to stay out, she continued coming into the bathroom -- even when I locked the door, she managed to get in; and no matter how many times I mopped the floor, the poopy water seemed to increase, sloshing out of the bathroom onto the carpet in the hallway. (In hindsight, maybe I should have closed the bathroom door and walked away.) All I can say is that yesterday at lunch, we talked about misbehaved children and how they sometimes tear-up our things in front of parents who seem to wear blinders. Growing up, one of my younger sisters was very bratty. Whenever my sisters and/or I were in charge of her, she would continually do naughty things despite punishment and being asked, threatened to stop, behave... Because we were her older "sisters," she didn't respect our authority and taunted us by misbehaving. I think that is why she was in the dream as her younger self. (She is in her 40s now and I in my 50s.) So, I woke up angry and frustrated. I have to use reverse-psychology on my kitty because he scratches on things to get my attention. If I actually pay attention, I am reinforcing the behavior. I keep a squirt water-bottle close at hand. This morning his scratching was even more annoying because of my dream. When I awoke this morning, I had to bring myself back to reality and calmness. Weird and odd all at the same time --- but that's life. |
| Thursday, November 18, 2010 Be yourself. That way others can truly know you. You don't have to prove yourself to me or anyone else. No one will ever really know you without transparency. When you do someone wrong, admit it. When you do right by someone, don't gloat or be overly impressed with yourself. Admit your faults and weaknesses, but don't stop there----do something about it. Pray, ask for help from above to overcome those faults and weaknesses. Be the best you you can be, and when you fall short, admit it and move on to a higher place. Don't pretend you are perfect and everyone else is at fault. Be real. Own up to your own imperfections and allow yourself to be perfected by One who is able to truly help you. |
| Tuesday, November 16, 2010 Today, I'm running late because I slept in... Need to get myself in gear here. I am remembering that Jesus sadly says, Some honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. |
| Sunday, November 14, 2010 Is it really 1:30am? No, it can't be... but wait, yes, it is. I'm lying here thinking... about some things that transpired, but have yet to expire from mind. I'm thinking about my faults and wondering. 'Think I'll break off from here and read my bible... need a little help from above... my unlimited resource. =) Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. |
| Saturday, November 13, 2010 The sky is clear blue with fluffy white clouds on this warm, breezy afternoon in Daphne, Alabama. I've done five loads of laundry and cleaned the apartment... Whew. Glad that's done. I'm sitting here tired with a wee bit of a backache. Think I'll lie down and listen to an audio book... or maybe I'll pickup the mail, go the grocery and then lie down. =) Have a great Saturday! |
| Friday, November 12, 2010, 6:16am Went to bed early and woke-up early. It's nice to get a jump-start on the day and to have the time to read, play on the computer, relax before showering and dressing for work. I am always looking forward to a great weekend. Who doesn't enjoy being off for a couple of days? ... and I am not complaining about the time change this year, but am enjoying it, as a matter of fact! I soo like opening the doors and windows, allowing the fresh air to drift inside. Our telephones and internet were down most of the day yesterday, at work. The veteran's ---- past, present and future ---- were on my heart throughout the day. Happy Friday! Enjoy your day. |
