Post-Christmas Post

Sitting here drinking my cup o' joe and enjoying the view of the low hanging clouds as they cover the tips of the nearby hills makes me think about this past year and all it brought to our lives.  Most of the year I feel I walked around, just as these hills are now, covered in clouds.  Some things very clear, other memories blurred in a veil of sadness.  Every were I looked, drove to or visited had memories of my mom.  Weird, I never even went to some of the places with her but still, the tears flow, somehow being there made me think of her. I think of her last few months with us and know that we spent time together and that was good, but I still feel this emptiness that something was missing.  What was it?  What am I looking for?  I guess it's just I miss her and so I think, was it enough?  The time we spent, the places we visited, the memories?  What is enough, is it ever enough?  Who defines enough?

My thoughts for a Tuesday..... Has it really been over a year since I've posted?  Yikes, life goes rolling along while I sometimes sit on the side of the road trying to figure it out!  Oh, I'll jump on board for awhile, but lose confidence or get sidetracked on my own path.  But, isn't that the key to life, not to sit on the side of the road, but get on the road and get moving?  I've got to get out there, buckle up, hang on and enjoy the ride.

It's Been A Long Time Friends

Hello January 2016 ~ welcoming the new year is always a challenge for me, I want to be better, do more and live the life God intended me to.  But, as I celebrate another birthday and ring in the new year I am reluctant to make any resolutions, at least announce them to any one, and I struggle with what my purpose will be this upcoming year.  I also am searching my life, where I am right now and a word that will help me focus and take me positively into 2016.  I discovered my word this year after praying and waiting on the Lord to present it to me.  For 2016, my word/focus is 'patience' because I lack it!  Last year my word was 'joy' and I focused on that word a lot, joy in sorrow, joy in trials, joy in adventures, etc. Let's see how well I do this year, no promises or resolutions, just a lot of trying. This year I intend to be more patient with myself, others, my walk and God's will.  As the storms roll in this week, I compare them to my feelings and wher...
