Welcome

Welcome!

 I hope you can feel at home here.  I want this to be a safe place, where I'm hopeful that you can at least be encouraged, where we can realize that we're just muddling through this thing called "life" together.

 Life is often never easy and it's certainly never dull!  So, as I talk about my life, it is my hope and prayer that some of the struggles I have walked through will find a place with you.  That something will resonate with you and you'll maybe be encouraged or will start a path towards healing.  Or, at least know that you're not alone!  Like I said, we're ALL in this together.

 So, sit back, grab a coffee (or, in my case, a cup of tea) and even laugh at my misadventures as we talk about life, because, yunno, it's a JUNGLE out there!!

Sometimes it's the little things that can make me feel like giving up.  The days when you're already behind schedule and you end up spilling coffee or tea on yourself.  Or, you get behind the wheel of the car and discover that the gas tank is empty when you've already had a tough morning.   We've been searching for the car keys for over a week now and I'm not gonna lie, it SUCKS.  You may be thinking " Really?  That's IT, that's what's upsetting you?  Just lost keys??".  But, truth be told, it is a big deal.  It's a big deal when my hubby losing his car keys is a regularly occurring thing (and really, it gets expensive when you are getting keys cut every few months, especially the newer car keys which are computer based).  It's a big deal when you are struggling with sore backs and sore shoulders because of health issues and you have to keep looking through furniture. Yes, I know... I'm complaining, but sometimes, it's h...

The Garden After many years of apartment living, we moved into our current home.  As the moving day approached, I anticipated the fun of having a backyard (albeit a small one, but still enough room to have a vegetable garden and a BBQ) and a few spots to plant gardens.   As winter gave way to spring, I prepared myself for the task of finding the remnants of the overgrown garden.  It took a lot of work, but slowly I was able to pull, dig and weed through the flower bed at the side of the house.  Did it transform over night?  No, it was a lot of work because thistles and weeds needed to be dug up.  There were vines and grass had seeped into the spot that was at one time a thriving garden, the soil was hard and rocky.  It was at times overwhelming, my arms were sore and my back ached from all the work.   I bought nice soil and plant food and worked all spring and early summer planting and doing more weeding and until finally the work paid off. ...

What type of knife are you? No, I'm not conducting a survey... Or, trying to typecast your personality based on you being a knife.  But, I'm hoping you'll read this and think about how you relate to others and of course... A knife is an easy thing to relate to. Okay, in all seriousness, you may not get it yet, but you will (I hope).  You see, the Bible is full of verses about being kind and loving towards each other, including: Ephesians 4:29 29  Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give  grace to those who hear. 1 Thessalonians 5:11   11  Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. There are others, but I just wanted you to get an idea of this theme.  It's actually more than a theme.  It's a clear indication of how we're supposed to treat each other and it's a lesson that I think we can ALL admit we...
