NEW YEAR RESTORATION

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION---

"RESTORE THE JOY TO MY LIFE"

Scriptural Basis For My Resolution-

"Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalm 51:12

I plan to pray this daily---to change my life and my outlook on the future. HE will sustain me and grant me joy and the peace that is--only found in Him.

Celebrate with Thanksgiving the many Blessings He has bestowed upon you tonight and keep your eyes upon your Eternal Future.

THE TRUTH-THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!

I have a New Year's Resolution this year to restore the joy to my life. I have plenty to be joyful about-----the problem seems to be that the negatives in my life have drug me down and taken most of my conscious "Thinking".

SO----in an effort to restore that Joy----perhaps I need to "throw out the trash"----Get Rid of The Negatives!

It is unbelievable how the negatives in your life can over-whelm and convince you of your unworthiness. Those that are around me that are "Positives" need to be on the "Front Row" and those that pull me down and instill low self image--need to be tossed.

Perhaps it is time to tell the truth--the whole truth-----clear the slate---start anew---the world will be shocked---BUT I will be truly who I am----AND THAT ISN'T SO BAD AFTER ALL!

MAYBE even a new blog-----OUT WITH THE OLD & IN WITH THE NEW----
I am looking for a catchy title---got any thoughts?

KERFUFFLE

As the Scots would say, my life is a kerfuffle currently. God is teaching me and stretching me. It is painful at times---but He is drawing me and showing me His character. He is the Faithful One who is the "Author of Love".

A VERY SAD DAY

Two months ago today, I arrived in Erie for the birth of little Elliot. Today I flew home from Erie and left the little family. It is a VERY SAD day for me!

THE LAST ONE BITES THE DUST!

The entire family has passed around a most delightful cold and I have finally biten then dust. It could be the cold that Camille started out with and gave to Henry & her Daddy as well as her husband and then to Elliot. It could be the NEW cold that Adam brought home from his current rotation in Urgent Care last week. WHO KNOWS? All I do know is that I am MISERABLE! Can't find a drug to really help and not getting any better.

It either lets up---or I jump off the cliff! Can't BEGIN to think about climbing on that airplane this congested!

MADELINE WITH A BOUNCE

Who says Grandmas can't multi-task. While cooking the white/cheese sauce for spinach madeline for BC's office party, I bounced Elliot's seat with my foot. He LOVED IT!

HENRY & HIS FIRST GIRL

During the Thanksgiving holiday, Camille's best friend, Mary Lou came to see us with her sweet daughter, Tristyn. Henry was enamored with this "Older Woman". He jabbered and jabbered to her---unfortunately, we could not understand much of it---but I think I may be able to translate.

"Tristyn, you are truly beautiful and I could see us spending our lives together. I have many roads to travel in the near future, but if you only keep me in mind----we could be together some day. I am the man for you and you are the woman for me----I will even let you ride my choo choo first! Tristyn, with such wonderful Mommies, we could only play sweet music together. If you will be my girl, I will be your boy----Tristyn---we could be such great playmates. Hold on--my mommie says as soon as I am 18, I can take you to the movie. We are destined for each other-sweet Tristyn---just wait for me."

I will probably be in the Nursing Home by then, but will wait with great anticipation until that day!
