| My life's ups and downs... |
| December 25, 2009, Friday, 8:13a.m. EST/DST MERRY CHRISTMAS!! This year I celebrate my savior's birth without mirth. I didn't get into the Holiday -- no decorations, no cards and no excitement. I do love Him, my family and friends... just didn't get into the rush/high of the season because of my own state of being, which is at an all-time low. Though I fall, I shall arise again to declare and exude the fragrance of Him. I hope you are celebrating with merriment -- decorations, bright-lighted tree, family and friends, with uninhibited laughter and smiles. Have a most wonderful day! |
| Monday, December 21, 2009 On this roller-coaster, the thrill disappeared as gravity hit the pit of my stomach. Around the bin and climbing, here's hoping tomorrow will be better as it repeats itself again. =) |
| Saturday, December 19, 2009 Today is my sister's birthday. Since she lives so far away, we will not be celebrating with cake and ice cream, balloons, etc. Happy Birthday, Sis! I got up a little late this morning, but my hungry cats were at the door off and on all night. Goof balls. They've got me at their beck and call. =) After I make myself some fresh coffee, I plan to sit down with my bible and do a bit of reading. Then I'll shower and head to the gym for some yoga. My youngest grandson was six on December 16. So, right after yoga, my daughter and I are taking him shopping. My gifts will be practical this year---clothes, underwear, socks... and I already bought him a sleeping bag. My daughter asked if I would buy both grandsons new shoes for Christmas. I enjoy buying them practical things they need... especially since the whole family is in grade school or college and mom and dad work full time too. =) Have a nice Saturday. |
| Wednesday, December 16, 2009 Good morning! I'm up a little early; so, I thought I'd take a moment to say, hello. My youngest grandson is six years old today! (First grade next year...) It was free for him to to see the fish and touch the crustaceans at the pier. We went a couple of weeks ago, and I told him, Since you are five, you get in free; but when you turn six, we will have to pay Four Dollars for you. It costs Meemaw Five Dollars to get in since I'm an adult. He got a big smile on his face. ...the innocense of a child. Well, happy Wednesday. Enjoy your day. |
| December 13, 2009, Sunday evening Three days up, one back down... I started getting ready for church, but my start was too late; so, I went on to the gym instead --- time for a workout before yoga at Noon. After the gym, I was wiped, exhausted... came home and fixed myself a nutritious lunch with plenty of vegetables. It didn't do the trick. After lying down for a nap, I awoke at a little after 5pm. I could have picked up one of grandson's on the way home from the gym ---- but wasn't up for it. They're young... soon to be six and eight, constantly active. I'd rather enjoy our time together, than share a quantity of time and space, which is what it feels like when I'm weary. I trust everyone had a nice weekend. It has warmed up a bit down here in Florida and it's humid as well. Cooler weather, come back! Have an interesting, unbelievably fun work week. God's blessing to you. |
| Sunday, December 13, 2009 I'm looking forward to a pleasant day. Fog fills the skies down here in the heart of the city of St. Petersburg this morning. It is a little humid, but cool enough for a housecoat. Fresh air is circulating through my apartment; all my windows are open. I have two of my outside kitties, sleeping peacefully on their beds inside. Have a wonderful, Holy Spirit-filled day! |
| Wednesday, December 9, 2009 After a biopsy of my uterus, I am home for the day... back to the grindstone tomorrow. I am happily celebrating a pleasant, peaceful day --- a short break from the norm. May your own journey be prosperous and safe. God-Speed! |
| Monday, December 7, 2009 No drama unfurled today, thankfully --- though making it through was still a feat of endurance, perseverence and stamina. I have a doctor appointment at 3:20 p.m. tomorrow and then another early appointment Wednesday with my gynecologist for a biopsy of the uterus. Enjoy your week. May our Lord see you, let His face shine upon you and give you peace. |
| Saturday, December 5, 2009 Truly this has been the roughest week of my life. My only survival was Jesus. As I bore my cross this week, I began to identify with Him --- though He was sinless and I have sinned. I actually understood how Timothy welcomed his own stoning. I wanted to find a cross, put it up, and invite them to crucify me. I wanted to haul in the rocks, get into the ditch and welcome them to stone me. I have never felt so alone, friendless, empty, humiliated, cast-out and hated. Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. -------------------- Them --- bullies; those who consider me (or anyone with a voice, daring to speak) despicable, beneath them and ripe for destruction by any means available. |
| Wednesday, December 2, 2009 Tomorrow is somebody's birthday... Who can it be? I must buy some flowers or plant a tree. =) May God send my guardian angels to help me remember to get my butt to the store... always waiting to the last minute does make life but a chore. =0 Have a super Tuesday... faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive... You get the picture. Don't forget your cape! |
