Here is a Live Wire from a year ago. I thought it was worth a re-read… at least it will be for myself, personally.
Enjoy…
Live Wire September 2023
From The Archives…
I Know Who I Am…
I was made for more…
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…
For the Moment, Sleep…
The ship’s doctor prescribed rest and comfort foods for my sniffles.
So, in between snacking and binge watching re-runs of my favorite cooking shows, little cat naps here and there have been the order of the day!
I did pull some cookies out of the freezer for you, though…
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!
