Just Catching Up!

I have fallen a little behind on my blogging...no pun intended, but have been flat on my behind!  Making the best of this time.. to reflect on life and try to be still and listen, while creatively inventing new directions to move in..while not moving so well! lol  Laughter has been a HUGE ingredient, topped by prayer and surrendering to the moment..not letting it get the best of me, though unable to physically be my best..I can spiritually and mentally stay strong!!  Proud to say, I am fairing fairly well...could play on that..but will leave it alone for now! :)

Blogging is simple, just write and click, but if you really are serious about it and want to promote a business, person, service, or yourself..etc...then it isn't so simple.  In my case, I feel led to write..but what I have "posted" here has been a little deep...I tend to add a dash of humor to flavor my serious subjects!  Laughter has been an important part of my journey..especially in times like these...I would go mad instead of just being stir crazy..I entertain myself quite well...it's like having a live comedy routine...not as fun by yourself, but it can work!  Are the guys with the straight jackets here yet!?! LOL  See what I mean...to take you on the true journey of my thoughts is a vulnerable endeavor....Of which, I have always been an open book, and if you really know me, or desire to know me..what you see is what you get, and gladly shared.  My challenge has been to TRY to LEARN to be selective with whom I share.. not so sure I would be in the 2nd grade if measured that way.  I am who I am and tell it like it is...desiring to do so with compassion and love...but the truth is the truth and that is that!  Might not be capable of learning that...to some people's dismay! :)

Wow, where is this going!?!  I could have a masters in side tracking...or diving into rabbit holes..rather digging rabbit holes.  Just me sharing my thoughts...catching up on several weeks off, being out of commission... Hard to type while lying down...a blessing it has been, as always...trying to make the most of every moment ..it truly has been a good source of creative contemplations!!!  (you will have to stay tuned to learn what ..will be...created.)  Missing living fully, hands on, doing anything I desire...but obtaining an empathy for others who permanently live this way...with deep compassion for so many in my life who have lost loved ones, and have pain that mine doesn't come close to touching!!  Trying to put smiles on others faces, or send heartfelt prayers, or words of encouragement to inspire...these are my coping skills..not that my life is Pollyanna perfect, which does not exist..but contentment can be found in the heart of one who is truly grateful...and grateful is what I choose to be..and remain! 
 

God's love is the greatest treasure I have ever known...and at one point I didn't think it was possible to love anyone or thing greater than my children..maybe as much as or close to..but not more, and He proved me wrong!! I am not perfect..never said I was or thought I could be.....though dang close...HA HA seriously just breaking up the deep thought with a good LAUGH!! You have to admit it was a great joke!! ;)  Where was I....oh.. Yet, God loves me anyway..the good, bad and ugly! Just as I am..just as you are.. He loves you too!!!! No greater gift on this planet is there than this!!  "Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!" (1 Corinthians 15:57)   Gratefulness I am filled with!  No matter if I can move freely or am FOA (flat on a**)  :) for weeks at a time, God's faithfulness remains...which comforts me when I am in need.  "The people who know their God will display strength and take action!" (Daniel 11:32) my verse of the day...and how perfectly it ministered to me!!! 

So, here I am..back in cyberspace..a new planet for me... goofy, I mean Pluto is where I like to visit.. bad humor!  :)   I won't venture to say any other planets..trying not to get too off color... No clue what direction this blog may go..title or content..just me sharing me, praying to add a smile and ray of hope to you! May all your days be richly blessed and filled with love, especially the knowledge of how deeply God loves YOU!! I'll keep you posted!! :) 


Abundant blessings to you,
