I was made for more…
I Know Who I Am…

When God moves…
Though I am unable to see beneath the depths below
and the only light in this darkness is His light…
I am not afraid, my ship shall remain sea worthy, and my Captain will not leave me to sink…
He gave me two songs this morning and they are all I’m able to share with you at this time.
Remember… no fear! Perfect love and faith will be my banner…
Song #1
Song #2
Whatever may come, God’s Got us!
Money Money Money Money…
Daily writing prompt
List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.
I’m gonna be incredibly real here, folks! Money makes the world go round, so as far as listing jobs to I’d do for free…. there ain’t one!
Now, don’t get me wrong… pretty much every single thing I do each day is done for free and with no monetary compensation.
Seriously, dishes laundry cooking cleaning writing exercising, etc. In my younger years, I birthed, raised, and educated three children… without being paid one red penny!
When I divorced my first husband, I went to work. I paid child support for three children, was disowned my family, kicked out of my church, and ostracized by every friend I had, save one!
My ex-husband got the cars, the house, the kids, and all the sympathy and money gifts everyone could offer the poor sod… so sad for him… waaahhhh!
So, you’ll have to forgive my caustic answer to what job I would do if money didn’t matter. If we’re being fully honest… no one does anything for free anymore, not if you look closely…
Just sayin…
Here’s a cookie to help you swallow my truths…
Thursday Thoughts…
Getting old is for the birds, as they say…
Beyond a headache and the sniffles, I have come to the determination that the change of season is kicking my rear end!
For some reason I am feeling the transition this year, rather painfully.
I’ve no fever and absolutely no other viral symptoms… I just hurt from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, and both IBS and Fibro are warring with one another, as well!
Yes, I am whining!
Yes I am in need of some feelsorryformyselferry!
My poor husband has had to take on the roll of being the full time listener of my whinery!
Since I can’t take anything for the pain or swelling that Fibro, my roomie, wants me to… it’s a hard knock life for me! I think that must be why my other roomie, IBS, is throwing a major hissy fit. She hates it whenever something upsets the balance of her world.
I suppose, if I chose to do so… I could let things send me round the bend, what with all the symptoms and no solution. But… never fear, because there is one solution that always helps when things are in a bad way. I call it shutting down, powering off, or if you want a real world example… skipping class!
Everyone remembers skipping class, right? No? Calling out sick, accidentally not answering the phone, netflixing it, dishes will wait… ing it!
At this very moment, I am writing a note to you and then plan on spending the day playing computer games in my pajamas! I did the exact same thing yesterday, as well. I’m not cooking, not cleaning, not walking and not doing a single thing that I normally do each day… don’t care!
That’s the joy of living like a hobbit… no one notices when you do things out of the ordinary, when you skip work or class, or when you drop off the radar. I’ve no one to expect anything out of me, other than my husband… and right now, it’s him that I’m gaming with, so that’s a win win in my book.
I think that the worse is over for now, what with fall settling in to cool us off and water the earth for the darker months ahead. The most difficult time of the year for me is early spring and early fall… when the shift occurs, as I refer to it.
Once done, I should be right as rain, so hang in there my friends, as I’ve a pretty decent fall and winter line up of fun stuff!
For now… I’m loading my weapons and heading for the wastelands… Horde night is coming!
ZZZZZZZZZZZ…
Tomorrow Tomorrow…
Ill feel better tomorrow…
It’s only a day away!
Thank you so very much, to all who left me comforting notes, and also the loving prayers for my well being.
Aside from this pesky migraine, headache, pressure, sniffles, and all around body aches… I should be right as rain in the morning. Wow… I sound like a cold medicine commercial!
While you may think that I am being facetious, regarding my recovery, I’m being fully serious about feeling better by the morrow! You know things will pass when there’s no fever or other more severe symptoms.
I, myself, am hypersensitive to the way my body handles and processes environmental bacteria and viral bugs… what, with having IBS and all! My tummy is usually the first sign of trouble to arrive, so I do my best to keep up on hygiene and nutrition. The human body has the incredible ability to learn all their weaknesses, thereby, preventing any future attacks from said enemy… if ya know what I mean. Usually, I just sleep it off for several days and give my body a chance to battle with it’s enemies!
So, with that overly wordy explanation and a big thank you to everyone, I shall head back to rest…
Ta Ta, for now…
Sunday Sniffles…
I’m so sorry, everyone, but I woke up with some sort of sinus cold, and I am going back to bed… perhaps tomorrow will be better… God bless!
You Who…
Well, since I’m still here every day and still full of energy, my answer from last year should remain the same…
My energy comes from You!

Here, you wouldn’t want to forget your cookie! They’re fresh…
I Have Playlists…
To be honest, due to the sheer number of songs and artists that entertain my lyrical cravings, I am unable to come up with any single album that one considers a favorite.
I love nearly all genre’s, and listen to them in the fashion that my mood brings forth… that’s the beauty of it… there’s so much glorious music out there at the touch of a button!
While I may not be able to call out a favorite album by name, what I do have are a sizeable number of playlists, on several different online music platforms.
I listen to Pandora on many of my walks, and am also an avid viewer of the music video’s available on YouTube.
I did my share of musical concert going with friends years ago, but to be honest with you… I never bought the tickets myself, and the venue was always one of my friends’ favorite bands.
If I were to reminisce with you about some of the venue’s we snuck into when we were teenagers, not only would I be revealing my age but also my criminal background… hehehe. In truth, we were more interested in flirting with the road crew, than we were about the music playing. What can you expect? We were teenage girls… Hormones!
Anyway, I don’t feel like picking one precious memory over the other to come up with just one favorite. For me, the answer would change by the time I finished writing out the reasons for the album I chose… just sayin!
Here, have a cookie…
Lizards In the Loft?
At least that’s what Tilly calls them… Flying Lizards!
As to what these little guys actually are, and where they came from, I’m at a complete loss… which is saying a lot about how strange they seem.
Whatever they are, somehow they’ve managed to create a little encampment of sorts, inside our barn’s back wall. There was a loose piece of roofing material that I spied earlier this year, but I’ve yet to have the time to repair it. They must have crawled in through the opening, thought they’d reached the promise land and simply set up shop!
Aside from Miss Tilly being up in arms about rules, hygiene and sleeping under the same roof with a band of wild somethings… the rest of the babes seem rather tickled with our new tenants! Boomer keeps trying to pick them up and pet them, while Lilly is riding them like they’re small horses.
Don’t ask me what I’m going to do with them all… I have no idea! But, I can’t just kick them out, what with the cooler months ahead.
Until I’ve had some time to investigate things and figure out what to do about it all, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to fuss at them, just yet.
For now, I think this calls for some gentle grace for that which I do not yet understand. I always did like a good mystery and now I’ve had one fly in through my barn roof!
I shall get right to the bottom of things and let you know what I find out… wish me luck!
Oh, and if any of you have seen these little guys before, I would love your input.
Journey With Me!
