Happy Birthday, Aquilla!

Our niece Aquilla is 14 today! She’s been looking forward to this since…well, since the 19th of November last year! She’s always been one for wanting to be older. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s now counting the days until she can get her driver’s permit next year. Aquilla is a sweet spunky girl with [...]

Better Days!

I’m praising the Lord that I’m feeling quite a bit more human these past couple of days. Still fragile, for sure, but better than Tuesday, I’ll tell you that. God is good!
Attesting to my feeling better are yesterday’s accomplishments:
The laundry is put away.
All of the dishes got washed, after several tries this week.
The counters are [...]

Better late in the day than not at all, I say! Even when I’m struggling there are always things to be thankful for.
1. My ever loving God, who is with me always. Strength will rise when we wait upon the Lord!
2. My sweet Cor.
3. My home. It may not be what I’ve spent years dreaming [...]

Don’t Know What to Call This Post

I am not doing well.  Sometimes that is all too true for me.  I have been wanting to write a post about this and why it happens.  I can’t bring myself to do that yet but want to give you some links so you might have an idea of how life can be for me.  I don’t [...]
