Ready, Set, and GONE!
This will be a quick post tonight as I am utterly exhausted and tomorrow I have laundry to do, Dekker needs a bath, and I have to pack for my flight on Monday! Calgon take me away! Anyway…
Dreams Become Reality One Choice at a Time
Time is quickly winding down and I find myself faced with only two more days before I will be heading to the airport to head to Massachusetts for my daughter’s wedding! Thus today was quite a busy day! I had a friend from church ask for my help in purchasing a new laptop and the budget was $400. So off we went to Tulsa and we ended up getting a new printer, laptop, plenty of ink, a laptop bag, and …
It’s a good life on most days
When I woke up this morning, I was exhausted. Yikes. So I decided to take the day and rest, rest, rest (as my friend Renee always tells me ). I did fine until I called to change the reservations to one of the hotels I had and all hell broke loose. I got the hotel issue worked out, only to find out…

Next Chaper – Jewelry by Jolene
Jolene has no idea that I have chosen to name her jewelry. For me, it is symbolic of the New Chapter I am beginning – or will be beginning – on October 1st with my new home. You see, I met Jolene of Graceful Agony around January/February of this year. A few days later, I entered a contest she was having on her blog for some jewelry that she would design and make. I never dreamed that I would win…

Book Review: What Difference do it make?
After my review of, Same Kind of Different as Me, I was contacted by Thomas Nelson to see if I might be interested in reading the follow-up book, What Difference do it make?. If you read my review, you know that…
FIRST EVER ONLINE HOUSE-WARMING PARTY!
As I sit here writing my Saturday post – a little late mind you – I have so much on my mind that I am a little overwhelmed today. In just 8 days I will be packing up my two new pieces of luggage for my trip back East for my daughter’s wedding! Time is suddenly flying past me, it seems, and I feel like I am teetering a bit! When I return…

All things that go up must come down
It has been said that, all things that go up must eventually come down. Unfortunately, that proves true with CFIDS and FMS more oft than not. Today, I have been feeling pretty bad. If I didn’t know better…

This journey WE call LIFE
Change is in the air. I can now feel it and I am now embracing it! I’ve been contemplating this journey I have been on for the past 5 or so weeks, these last few days. I don’t know if I have done everything right, but I know that I have done my best. I also know there were moments in which I struggled to come to terms with all the loss, the changes, and the dislocation, and yet, I …

The Web: A POWERFUL & POSITIVE impact on CFIDS/ME
I’m a thinker – if you hadn’t noticed – and today, I have been contemplating a myriad of things. I can’t seem to really focus on one thing as I have so many things going on at the same time. This period of my life is little too busy for me. I like the calm, quiet, peaceful existence. Be that as it may, I started wandering over…

Sometimes YOU just HAVE to say NO
I think one of the hardest things for me to do – and most of us – is to say no. I don’t like to be disagreeable, however, sometimes the situation calls for it. As you may have noticed I have been conspicuously absent since last Thursday. Unfortunately, I landed in the ER at the VA yet again on Friday. What was supposed to be a fun day with my friend, just continued to escalate until I had turned grey …

NEVER Judge a BOOK by its cover
When I originally decided to join a variety of Blogging 4 Books programs, to be quite honest, I did so to get free books. That was my main motivation. Nothing more, nothing less. At the beginning…

Seeking FAMILIARITY and CONNECTION
I have never really given a lot of thought to the many things in my life that I am connected to that create a space of comfort, normalcy, and grounding for me until I recently lost all my possessions. Lately, however…

Humidity is most definitely not my friend
This week we (Oklahomans) are going to be experiencing over 105 – 115 degree weather. The doctor at the VA that originally told me that my lungs had been permanently damaged warned me that the humidity would not be my friend. I don’t think I really understood that statement until today. I have been having to…
