A Single Day

Happy New Year Glitter

Looking forward to a New Year, full of opportunities and good things.  2008 was a year of heartache and disappointments.  Things out of my control.  They are still out of my control, but I am praying things are resolved, in a good way, and we can move forward.  I’m ready to [...]

For the last day of the year, it hasn’t been bad. Actually, it borderlined on being a pretty good day. Going into the day, I knew it would be one of those days — having too much to do in a short amount of time.
But a friend came to my rescue, unknowingly [...]

These are 31 goals I am going to write about in January. They are not necessarily ones I am going to tackle in January, but as I write about them, I will write about specific ways I am going to obtain these goals.
1. Blog Everyday
2. Email Ruth
3. Weight Loss
4. Improve [...]

I always look forward to the beginning of a new month, or more specifically, a new year. I know in many respects, it is just another day, no different than the day before it. Especially if you are just floundering through life, through the days, on an uncharted, unplanned course. I tend [...]

We went to Topeka yesterday to do Christmas with David’s daughters. After opening presents, we went out to eat, and then went shopping. In a snowstorm. We probably should have headed home then, but we didn’t. At one point, we were just about ready to call it a day and get [...]

1. Enjoy a cup of hot cocoa.
2. Watch your expectations.
3. Get up early for quiet time before it gets busy.
4. Merry Christmas!
5. Listen to family stories.
6. One in and one out for your gifts.
7. Write your thank you cards to some beautiful music.

Have you made past resolutions only to have the same ones this year? [...]

I know this fall, I wanted to get online and order most of Christmas.  But, like most plans around our house, that didn’t happen, and the last weekend before Christmas was here, and we knew it was “do or die” time.  Pretty typical for us.  However, we have been known to “start” on the [...]

I am now reminded of why I don’t like winter. Its. Cold. Outside. And a bit trecherous. Not as bad as it could be, but definately moves me out of my comfort zone of trying to get around. Whether it be on foot, in or in the vehicle. [...]

I hate to admit this, but its another miserable Saturday. Most everything on my list of things I would have liked to have gotten done, goes unchecked. The bottom line is, I physically can’t do it. I can’t catch my breath to more than just a few minutes of work. Looking [...]

I want to blog. I really do. But, I have sat here for days, time after time, just looking at this screen. And words fail me. Its not that I don’t have anything to say. There is lots going on in my world. But the emotional side of me [...]

David told me I needed to get another job (I already work 2 part time jobs).  He just went to our insurance company and when he found out that the car insurance for my new vehicle is $1100 a year, he about stroked out. Apparently, they didn’t make many Buick Rainiers, and so to [...]

Yesterday, when we were shopping, I came across bamboo shades. David kinda looked at me funny, but for some reason, I think they would look perfect in our camper. The shades that are in there look ok, but these shades would look awesome. I love being able to take a theme, and [...]

This time last week, I was contemplating working my work schedule around to where I had a 5 days-in-a-row vacation time.  There is nothing more I would love right now than to be home for more than one or two days in a row.  As things fell into place, having many days in a row [...]

Reflecting on what brings me happiness, I find that I also need to think about what brings me unhappiness. The Thanksgiving holidays, and everything it included was a mixture of both. Because everyone was not on the same page, there was tension in the air, and a few “in your face” moments. [...]
