Ok, I meant to write this sooner, but I just got around to it. My procrastination sucks sometimes. Anyhow, last Sunday my daughter got invited to my friends daughter's birthday party. It was at an ice rink and they did bumper cars on ice. It was so neat. I have never seen anything like that before. Needless to say the kids had a blast, and even some of the adults. Hee hee. Yes, I t...3 Recommendations24 Comments

Monday Morning; "The Start of a New Life"
Well......all is done. Mom's funeral, burial, her bills are paid, furniture moved out, etc. Now begins my new life. I'll never forget mom, or my dad (he died in 1982), but mom's death made a change in me. I'm going to treat myself, Margaret and others better. (Not that I've ever been hurtful to anyone) I joined a gym...3 Recommendations12 Comments -
This forest is awesome. It is cool and a little dark where we walk - the sun filters through above - it is magical.
The trees wrapping around one another as they grow. I would like to live in this forest. I could use SOMETHING wrapping around me:)
It's a little like a wonderland - I expect pixies to leap out at any point - Heinze loves it too. I wish the deer...2 Recommendations10 Comments -

As I lay in my near comatose state that I like to refer to as resting, this thought came to me.
The road we travel is long and winding. It goes up and down and through storms and periods of calm. We walk alone even with others we are alone. We are surrounded by pain so great it cripples not only the soul but the body as well. We wail and cry and stumble and fall. We loose friends and family, and i...4 Recommendations15 Comments -
I have been spending several hours in the last week or so, going through old emails. I had over 300 of them, so it's been taking me a while. Tonight, I came across this one. I received it a very long time ago; probably about a year. Ironically, my youngest son, Jon, will be deployed to Iraq sometime this month. And, ironically, the young man in this picture looks an awful darn lot like Jon di...1 Recommendation23 Comments

Im in tears right now, I have to share this and you all are the only ones who will understand how powerful this is. I finally got some strength to start cleaning out my closet where so many of Shannon's things are. My clothes also are just stacked so high because I always gave her so many of my things. I found a place to donate my things that go right to the people who need them. I have been ...2 Recommendations24 Comments

He comes alongside us when we go through hard times,
and before you know it, he brings us
alongside someone else
who is going through hard times
so that we can be there for that person just as
God was there for us.
