The Broken Rack
I was hanging up clothes on my clothes rack in my bathroom this morning and this happened. Yep, the rack broke! I went to the kitchen, made Moo’s omelette, then returned to the rack and started taking the fallen clothes to the couch. I made a mental note to look for a heavy duty rack…
The Presence Of God
I did it.....I opened my front glass door this morning and just stood there, nightgown and all. It was the best feeling to stand there and feel the cool fall air. It made me feel so grateful to be alive...My son Bryant was so scared that the bus would come and catch me standing there,…
The Old Meets The New
I awoke this morning on a college campus. The night before was not pleasant. I remember thinking, "How did I ever think this little bed was comfortable? " Then I remembered the last time I was in a bed this small I was 20 years younger and WAY smaller. Then as I was getting ready in…

Don’t Stop Pruning
I woke up this morning and heard it.....rain!!! my flowers needed this natural rain. It's something about rain that just makes flowers really grow!!! So after Aaron informed me that it had been raining since early this morning I became panicked. Some of my containers that I have in my beds do not have holes…
Time With Him
After I threatened to dance on the porch again in front of Moo's bus and he RAN to the bus scared to death, I decided to go walking. It gave me an opportunity to get my thoughts together and "blow out the cobwebs." I found that my time with Him is like that: it can…
Memories…..
I felt really antsy this morning, and at first I couldn't put my finger on why I was feeling restless. Then it hit me: I need to go walking this morning! So after I got Moo on the bus, I took off to walk. I was determined not to be begging this morning during my…
