The goals set before me, rarely encounter interference from a physical obstacle. I live in a 32 foot RV with no brakes, no running hot water or a flushing toilet. In terms of actual contact, I encounter my husband and my Chica, but nobody else, so I don’t often see any reason to say no, about much of anything.
My goals are set by my heavenly father, and I DO NOT say no to Him about anything… regardless! This is my path and my choice!
As I am well versed in things always flying at me, they don’t really seem to interfere with the goals set before me, because my goals face obstacles in a spiritual plane… way different from the physical ones! Again… my choice!
The beauty of it is… those things that interfere with earthly goals are usually where my opportunity to obey God comes fully into play. Since God says that He will bring good out of everything, for His purpose, I think that I’m in the right place… directly within the shadow of the Almighty!
Well, I’m back from playing hooky all last week… Did ya miss me??? I can’t tell you how hard it was to stay away, even though I was having a fantastic time with my better half!
Sometimes, even though we love what we do, if we don’t take the time to breathe and rest once in a while, things begin to suffer. The quantity of our work might be there, but the quality starts to drop dramatically! A body can only take so much before it uses up all its reserves, thereby starting to lose effectiveness! You, my family, deserve better from this ole girl!
I’m back on my game, I think, so here’s the deal… I’m keeping Monday Messages because it’s my chance to personally say hello to everyone! I like to give you heads up about what the week might look like, as well as, checking in with you about how you’re doing. Mondays are a great time to chat about our weekend, plus you get an opportunity to ask or answer questions… I think that’s what family is supposed to do.
I have a dilemma about what Tuesday should be, as I’m torn between writing episodes of The Wharf or episodes of Tuesday Tattler. This is where you come in, because I could use your input on what you enjoy. Let me know if you want one or the other… or if you want me to split them, writing one every other week.
Wednesdays will still be sort of a poetic and/or quirky word play day.
Thursday is my personal day of writing to you about things of current happenings in my world. I like to keep this as my personal perspective day, so as to show you who I really am… real world style!
Fridays have turned into my Barnyard play/work day! You guys and gals make the creating of my tiny compadres what it is… fun! I am looking for your feedback, on whether putting a box on that page for buying me a cup of coffee, is a good thing or a bad thing. I am horrible at asking for help, but I believe that the babes deserve to be in the hands of little future grown ups, bringing joy and laughter to whomever reads their stories. Let me know what you think, as I’ve no intention of doing it, unless your response reflects a positive attitude. This will NOT be a GoFundMe anything! If you don’t want to give, don’t give… don’t even bother with that page on my site. I write everything you read here for free, as you are my friends and family, not customers or clients! Okay, I said it… there! No more talk about that!
This last week was our last Note To Self, but I’ve a new and exciting series for Saturdays called As They Say, which I think everyone is going to love!
Sunday will stay Live Wire, simply because I love reading the word and talking with absolutely anyone who wants to listen to my thoughts and new insights.
Ok… I commit to you, that I won’t make Monday Messages this long every week. I’m just so rested and raring to go, it’s made me a bit chatty this morning. I will end things here on a positive note, praying God blesses each and every one of us this week!
Life itself was my most influential teacher! Why? Because it kicked my can around town for so many of my growing up years, that’s why! I’ve yet to meet an actual earth creature that truly influenced me, more than me just trying to navigate a world that has no safety net for the lost ones!
Don’t get me wrong, as there were plenty of people in and around my life to influence me, to an extent. Since most of them were very negative influences, as well as being very unhealthy and/or cruel, I will go as far as to say, they get some of the credit for how I got here… I just don’t think that it’s fair to give them the whole price tag for how I turned out.
God alone is my only true lifelong influence… otherwise, I wouldn’t be here writing this prompt answer today!
With that being said, I’m off to continue my week of self-imposed vacation… ta ta for now…
You didn’t think that I would forget your cookies…
Brutus is taking his babysitting duties very seriously, watching over all the babes for me, while I get some much needed R and R! He loves being in charge, I think. But I’m not telling him that, or else it’ll go to his head.
Yes, I’m in my pajamas while chasing down monsters in a fictitious forest! I take one day at a time, living the life set before me with a steady pace. Whatever God sets before me to do… I do it!
Right now, that means playing video games with my husband in our pajamas folks!
I don’t make wishes anymore, but I DO have a hope and a future…
Starting yesterday, I am supposed to be on vacation, taking time away from work, for what I consider brain resting. Yesterday I made my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies, and I splurged by adding giant dark chocolate chips, as well as milk chocolate… good choice! Baking them in a toaster oven is sort of like using an Easy-Bake Oven, but with a really strong lightbulb. Now I can bake four cookies at a time instead of just one.
Today will come up with fun ideas of its own, but it won’t be work. I can’t seem to refrain from leaving you messages though, because I’m leaving this note, while eating a cookie with my coffee.
Journey With Me!
