What is not to like about writing? Words can take us anywhere we want to go, without anything but a pen and paper. One can travel, vacation, and fall in love within the pages of words. I read somewhere, that no one knows the heart of a man, except the spirit within him, and I guess for me, writing is a way of sharing from deep within my spirit.

I tried using words verbally, but after 54 years it seems that speaking out loud does not work. I literally speak out loud more to the man upstairs, than I speak to anyone who walks around on the earth. You may think I am full of it, but truly, I speak on a regular basis to less than five individuals, and one of them has to because he said “I Do”. My hubby is my better half, though, and I could not function well without him. After divorce and remarriage, I was routed out of my church, and abandoned by many, so now, I find that less is more. Does that make me callous? Maybe, but I do not want this to be a moody Monday!

Much of my life was spent trying to share thoughts and feelings, through my actions… works of service, active in church, homeschooled my children, supported others during the loss of loved ones, and anything I thought would show love, or how I felt about others. Looking back now, I do not regret doing those things, but I have learned how futile they were, for me at least.

I had writers block for over 10 years, and it wasn’t until this last March that this passion returned to my heart. I haven’t stopped writing since. The response from everyone here at WordPress, fueled my desire to pursue my passion. I finished one Live Novel, which is my actual story, and am gearing up for another in the fall.

I don’t expect you all to like and buy into what I write about, but I am so grateful that you accept me as an equal human being, with feelings, passions, sorrows, and Joys… just like you!

YOU are what I enjoy most about writing!

THANK YOU!!!

The outdoors would be the most complete answer, because I spend everyday out in it, and love everything from the trees, to the creatures that live in them.

I love the trees, the trails, and all the tiny creatures that eagerly await the treats within the pockets of my jacket.

I especially enjoy the water…

Ok, so this is a picture of flowers, but there is water right behind the tree.

Now I will show you my favorite flowers from the area… the ones I was able to see and smell in this last spring.

Now you know where to find me most days. I think this fall and winter I will do some photo series of leaves and snow. Keep a weathered eye out… get it, weathered…

Ok Ok… so it isn’t exactly the Energizer Bunny, but let’s move past that…

I saw the phrase “positive emotion” and thought… Battery… yes folks, a battery. You ask the question I would ask… What on earth does a battery have to do with positive emotions? Well, I am going to give you a quick breakdown of how my brain thinks, this early in the morning.

I saw the prompt…

My eyes registered the word Positive…

Then the word Emotion…

I know I feel Joy all the time…

What could express positive and emotion…

ENERGIZER BUNNY!

You all have to work with me on selling this idea, as it is the weekend, and I am more interested in my cup of coffee right now… sorry, not sorry.

Want some?

and these are for dipping…

Happy Saturday every Bunny…

p.s. Thanks Pexels for the pics

If the big guy upstairs knows when I sit and when I rise, according to the good book, then at least I know where to go for directions. It also says, if I rise on the wings of the dawn, and settle on the far side of the sea, even there His hand will guide me… and hold me fast, even.

Everyone here should know by now that Psalm 139 is nearest and dearest to my heart. It brings me great comfort, as well as a great sense of courage for whatever I encounter in the world. If all the days ordained for me, were written in his book, before one of them came to be, like the bible says, then I believe it!

The bible is blanketed with God telling us, his children, that He is right here beside us, and if we seek Him, we can follow His plan, His goals.

If you ask how I plan my goals, I will tell you…

As the sun rises in the early morning and I awaken from my sleep, I say good morning Father.

I lay in the pillows for a time, usually He wakes me with a song I had been listening to the day before, but sometimes I hear His whispers of what the day may bring. You may think it odd, but I talk to God constantly, from the time I wake up until I drift off to sleep at night. It is somewhat like having a loved one with you, and no matter where you happen to be, you are never alone.

Anywho… there it is, my friends.

Yes, my husband and I have everyday goals and dreams, like everyone else, and we discuss and plan the best possible way to accomplish them, within our means. But let’s face it! The reality of our world, is a harsh pill to swallow for many today. I find it more realistic to stick with what I can do Today. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will bring its own blessings and challenges.

As far as a goal goes, I have one… a walk, while the heat of the day is absent. I am off to enjoy the morning out of doors, as they say…

I promise you will love these smoothies, trust me. I make one every day and they are really yummy. I just cannot walk and eat cookies in the morning, it’s counter intuitive, I think.

I laughed when looking at the prompt question, as it is way to early to be serious and opinionated. That is about as far as the funny went, before it wasn’t funny anymore.

As we live in an RV after loosing all we had, and surviving at an uncomfortably low level, asking me to come up with a plan to be more prepared for an emergency simply aggravates me.

Stop drop and roll, nope… more like bend over, tuck your head between your knees, and kiss… my bad.

After living this long and making it through enough trauma and grief to sink a boat, I have settled on the only preparedness plan that I feel works.

Surrender… There is only One who can cover all emergencies, and the only one who carried me through my darkness nightmares. I surrendered to His authority and His protection.

My surrender brought His provision, bringing me the ability to not just survive, but Thrive! There is no way to be fully prepared for all emergencies and I do not feel like dwelling in fear or what ifs… sorry, not sorry!

I hope you don’t mind, but I used my finger to swirl the heart into your coffee… I washed my hands, pinky promise.
