New Look

You will have noticed by now I'm sporting a new look......well at least my Blog is! I want to Thank my Daughter-in-Law for setting me up with such a pretty - uplifting look! Thanks T!

I have a funny story to share with you regarding this look. As anyone that has read this, my facebook or received an email from me lately will know I'm going through a really rough time. So I have a dear friend that I rely on heavily when I am in the midst of Darkness - I truly believe that anyone that has walked or walks in the Darkness understands what I am going through better than someone that has never experienced the DARKNESS of depression. Anyway I digress (I know THAT's a shock!)

My friend pointed out to me that I am mistaking Money for Wealth and vice versa...I am very wealthy in love and family - even if money is tight I am WEALTHY! So I wrote to my friend that I had come up with a bi-line from some advice she had given me. The bi-line is "the cubbard is bare but our cup runneth over" (see it up there.....you know a play on the Old Mother Hubbard went to the cubbard.......poem)

Wow it's taking me a while to get to the funny part - HUH!

So I wrote to her and said my bi-line is going to be "the cubbard is bare but our cop runneth over"....so as most of you know my son is a police officer , I get an email asking me "what did S run over?" did you see the typo? our cop runneth over....instead of cup. Luckily T is better at proof reading than I am. Ok maybe it was just funny to me but it made me laugh OUT LOUD.

Reflective Mood

Somethings that have me giving into the darkness lately
1. Hating my job with no other prospects out there to really look at.
2. Being so far from Florida (remember when I couldn't wait to get back to Texas? Yeah not so much anymore)
3. Not seeing my Daddy on his birthday......heck I even almost failed to call him and wish him a happy birthday.
4. Finding out that no matter how hard I try not to add stress to someone else I tend to ALWAYS do it...... Believe me that is the last thing I want to do to people I love!
5. Listening to the news talk about how much worse the economy is going to be before it gets better.....
6. Finances! Oh to never have to worry about money again!


Somethings that have me fighting HARD agains the darkness
1. Wonderful precious grandbabies (even though NONE are babies anymore!)
2. Game night with my daughters and son-in-laws - I LOVE to Win but I will even take losing if it means I get to spend some time with the girls (and their hubbies) - Have I told you blog world how my son-in-laws can make me laugh till I spew my drink through my nose?
3. MY LOVING HUSBAND - God gave me such a gift when it comes to him.
4. Seeing friends I haven't seen but once maybe twice in over 10 years and actually getting to spend quaility time with them. 2 different friends (well 3 I guess one was a couple) in 2 weeks.
5. Getting sweet cards and emails from Julie :)
6. Having my friend Cindy as a sounding board - she's not afraid to tell me like it is and coming from her I'm not afraid to hear it because I know it is done in LOVE!
7. Knowing I have a Saviour that NEVER LETS GO OF ME!

So on reflecting I know that the good out weights the bad so why the heck is it the BAD that always bounces around in my head?
