There has been so much news lately that has truly disturbed my spirit and rattled me.
We are in a deep crossroad of evil and spiritual revival and how we react to it is our testimony of our faith.
I so want to be known as a woman of faith but sometimes it is hard.
Not hard to believe but hard to move forward.
The word has told us that the days ahead will be full of chaos, but we also know our peace comes from deep within.
I remember a child song that says, “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart.
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart today.”
I’m in prayer for so much these days.
Family, friends, people I care for.
I watch the news and oh my goodness, some of it is good, so much of it not so good.
Lord help the children.
I know they are the most vulnerable and unprotected.
I am in prayer.,
A cross and kleenex.

This last weekend we camped with my husband’s side of the family. It was our annual O get together.
There were about 35 of us which included a few dogs and our precious baby grand daughter too.
Almost all of the family camped in assorted tents and trailers.
We had our trailer. I won’t tent camp anymore and our trailer is just the right size for traveling.
We put some meals together and we managed to enjoy ourselves even with yellow jackets in the camp.
As far as I know no one got stung or bit but it was definitely an annoyance.
The camp was full of other campers, and it was hot. We have decided we really like the coast and the cooler weather.
August and September, we will be home not going anywhere. I am ready to stick around here and get settled in.
We have a cat that may have to be put down she is over 11 years old and keeps losing weight. She is down to about 7 pounds now.
It is hard when they get old and you have to make hard decisions.
Our girls are bonded, and they sleep together nightly, and it will be a very hard adjustment.
I don’t like to take them in we have never had an animal just ‘pass’ away in the normal process.
Our old black cat Spook walked across the street, and we never saw him again.
After that I made the decision that no cat will ever go outside.
These girls have been inside always. They are both over 11.
After they go from us we will not get anymore.
I can’t do it. Molly is on the left and Mosey is on the right. Molly is the one who is ill. They are three weeks apart.
I am sad to make this hard decision, but we must.
This picture was from a few years ago she doesn’t look that good anymore.
This last weekend we camped, and it was fun to see everyone happy.

This is going to be a test.
I am having issues with my blog site and the current way it is posting my writing, so I am asking my readers, IF you receive this, please let me know.
It is quite frustrating, and I am not sure what to do with this new problem.
There is a lot I would like to write about, but I need to know if it is going anywhere other than an unknown cyberspace.
THIS will be a test. Thank you

Our little girl turns one.
Our great grandbaby is almost walking now and soon she will be the center of attention in a circle of people, and she won’t know why.
The party is mostly for mom and dad, and grandma and grandpas.
Little one will love it. She most likely will try her first taste of something sweet.
An Aunt is making cupcakes. Mommy reserved a part setting so people can come and mingle without being crowded.
We will take our trailer and go to the park when it’s time.
It really is a blessing to have these experiences and to be here for her.
I am excited. When I was going through my cancer recovery, I prayed that I could meet a great grandbaby.
AND here we both are, in this moment in time. Together.
I can’t show many pictures as my face book page was hacked, and I won’t go through that again.
But I will brag that she is the most amazing and cutest little person we have ever met.
We will be in the area for a few days then pack up and leave for home.
Our neighbor is watching out for the house and cats.
I am excited. Can you tell?
Little one waddles like a little penguin. She is brave when walking and so close to letting go.
It is a busy time for young parents. They have a lot to look forward to.
I do realize I am older now and my energy is not up to what a young mom would have.
It is ok. I can’t enjoy her and hold her while I am sitting down if she will let me.
Did I say she is a very busy little one?
She will be surrounded by so many who care for her.
She is BLESSED as we are to be with her.
Every moment I can be with her and see her joy and see her sweetness.
I will be there.
Our little one turns one.
And We will sing Happy Birthday and clap.
And I will probably shed a tear or two.
Our little one turns one.

To be a realist: you tend to be very emotional and extremely levelheaded.
No matter the situation you always are able to look at facts in order to make things run smoothly.
————-
I have had this in my phone for a long time because for most of my life I have had to look at facts and truth and be emotionally strong.
I also feel I am levelheaded in many areas for me to press forward and move on in my life.
To be a realist?
Yes, I feel it fits me on many levels.
Where I got this quote is a mystery. IT is not mine, but I am sharing it today.
————–
My dad once said, “you can’t finish if you never start it.”
This is very true, and I have tried to make this work with my writing.
If I don’t take the time to start, to think, to process the words and the meanings
what will I finish and how will it end?
————-
I took a test to see what career ‘you’ were actually meant for: It said YOU are a writer:
You have an unmatched skill for creating vast worlds both through facts and pure imagination.
Your mind is full of creativity, artistry, and expression.
Your heart gracefully guides your hands as you work to bring what is truly your spirit to life,
You were truly meant to guide the world with your words.
————–
Now I don’t think I was meant to guide the world with my words, but I can share words of encouragement,
I can let others work through their words and their process and encourage them.
I am always happy to see others succeed and I appreciate the time it takes to do it well.
Am I a realist?
I am not sure, but I can’t be fake, and I can’t be over judgmental, and I just don’t have it within me to argue or fight.
Maybe I am a realist. I see the world with discerning eyes and sometimes it hurts and saddens me greatly.
To be a realist: you tend to be very emotional and extremely levelheaded with a logical mind.
