What a day… and Joel update

The real unedited version of today… It seems to always play out like this… my house has a few early risers I am not counted among them.  I am a terrible sleeper I toss and turn and finally fall asleep in the wee hours of the morning so when Samuel wakes up early or Hannah [...]

Finding JOY!

morning

I  have been really busy lately, and feeling a little overwhelmed (Dave might say that is an understatement).  The other night I was feeling a little sorry for myself as I looked at the plethora of things that I need to accomplish in a short amount of time.  I would love the luxury of being [...]

Hurt Feelings and Dealing with Them

Sky

Have you ever been hurt? This could almost be considered a rhetorical question,  at some point in time we all get our feelings hurt.  I haven’t posted anything of substance because for the last few days I have been nursing some hurt feelings.  Oh,   no one has been mean,   it is simply (for lack of [...]

How I kicked the TV to the curb… (sort of)

Over the last several years I have had a bit of a love hate relation with the TV.  If I wrote a pros and cons list I honestly can’t come up with many pros, my list would look something like this; entertainment (Not always a positive) noise in background Philippians 4:8 says ~”Finally, brothers, whatever [...]

Yet another update…

I am sorry to leave you all hanging after an MRI.  Joel was a trooper once again.  Dave took him out first thing in the morning to the feed and seed to get some chicken feed.   Next they headed to Home Hardware to pick up a few things.  When they got home Joel played [...]

Busy, Busy…

Here I Am….

If you have been reading here for awhile you’ll remember last year Dave and I actually made plans for our wedding anniversary, 3 months before our anniversary I had bought tickets to see Michael W. Smith and DOWN HERE.  I had made arrangements with my parents for our kids to sleep over.  We were going [...]

Over doing it….

I did something dumb today.  I had taken Joel to his appointment, and was running late coming home.  As Dave works nights I have to have supper ready by a certain time so we can get him off to work on time. I came home and the wind had blown quite a bit of snow [...]

Feeling sad but choosing joy…

Is it just me or has this ever happened to you… you are working really hard at organizing and pulling things together to make things run smoothly. Then you seem to run right into a wall.  I had been doing pretty good with organizing and getting us back on schedule when the kids and I [...]

One little word…

Back in August I wrote a post called ‘now’, you can read it here. I needed to focus on now because I was finding it hard to put to rest what life was like before Joel’s cancer and wondering what the future was going to hold for him. So I focused on living in the [...]
