    Hi Carol. Here is some chocolate that we get to eat and not gain weight. Wow, this is so 'sweet'. How are you? I've been stuck inside for a few days but hope to be well enough tomorrow to ride my scooter out in the gardens to get a bit of needed watering done. God has been so good to me and the blessings are just the best. (((hugs))) Patricia

    My illness was extremely severe this past weekend. I called and talked to the lady I was going to church to visit. She came by my home to pick up the gift I wanted to give to her. I also had some fresh produce to share with her. I did not have any ripe tomatoes to give to her and gave her a tomato plant to take home so she could have fresh tomatoes to pick one day soon. I was in sad shape for the weekend that I got up Saturday and dressed and left for church thinking it was Sunday. The entire day was a mess with the phone line giving me trouble and not allowing me to call out. I contacted AT&T and they tested my line and I was then able to take a new phone line I had in storage out and set it up and was then able to call out. I called the lady I was going to church to visit to let her know that I was having a very difficult time and that if I was not doing better by morning that I would have to pass on church. We were both hoping that by days end I would improve and have the rest of the weekend to feel better. Sunday morning was just as bad as Saturday so I called this person to let her know that I was too ill to go anywhere. I'm used to being stuck at home because of this illness but was looking forward to visiting this person at church. I asked her if she could stop by to pick up the gift I wanted to give her. She did later in the day and I was also able to provide her with some fresh produce along with a tomato plant for her to take home so she could have some fresh tomatoes later on. I don't produce enough tomatoes yet and had none to share with her so I felt that her own fresh tomatoes might make a good gift to share. There will be other weekends as I'm sure my social worker would tell me so I will hope for a better one to come along soon. This illness is just not predictable and bad days are common so I just need to accept that and deal with it. How are you doing? (((hugs))) Patricia

    It is your church. But the gal that is currently the president of the Ladies Aid Society visited my home after I wrote the email to one of the BIG GUYS in charge back in Utah. She has been very nice and has behaved more as a friend then the males that put me through all of the garbage when I was planning on becoming a member back in March. They just had NO CLUE as to what I was trying to survive here alone. Also, they had their own 'wish list' where I was concerned and I don't think very much of what was going on with them had very much to do with me as a REAL person. I think perhaps the email I sent to one of the church leaders brought about this positive change. I'm hoping this lady is the 'real thing' and is truly my friend and not just trying to get me into the church at any cost as the men had done before. I would like to think of her as a REAL friend but only time will reveal the truth of the situation. I will not just jump in without having a very good understanding of just what is what and who is who this time. I learned my lesson the hard way last time. I don't need to be around people that don't actually care about and love me. What happened before was just a group of the 'guys' wanting to manipulate me into doing what they wanted me to do without any true understanding of what I was living with everyday here alone. I was more of an object then a real person to them. I'm only staying for the morning meeting while this gal is there and then she is going to speak at another ward. I'm going to go very slow and have my eyes wide opened this time. If the Holy Spirit waves a red flag in front of me I will pay heed to it and following God's leading. Let those fellows, guys get in tune with God's will for my life instead of their own agenda. I think they are just a bit too full of themselves to allow God FULL control of their lives and thoughts. I know God is working on them along with the church so perhaps I will witness some good changes along the way. I just hope this gal turns out to be a true friend and not just someone interested in my church attendance. That would be very hurtful and disappointing. But the Holy Spirit will lead me to the truth and protect me just as he did last time I took a look into the church and it's people. Keep the good thoughts. (((hugs))) Patricia

    I'm going to be visiting church this Sunday. One of the gals that visited a few times is a very caring person and I like the idea of visiting church with her there. So far she is about the only one I trust there right now. I just don't think the way the male members treated me showed any compassion at all for my situation here alone. They just don't have a clue as to what life is like for a widow in distress coping with disability alone. They could have tried to care though. That would have been all that was necessary. I'm too cautious to trust them anymore for now. But this one gal seems to be a good person and I think she understand at least a bit what I am facing here alone. (((hugs))) Patricia
