Need to Talk…

I keep saying I am going to do better, but at the same time, I do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings. I know if I don’t talk things out and hold back my feelings, I will be the one who is hurt.

1 Peter 4:8 NIV [8] Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.  https://bible.com/bible/111/1pe.4.8.NIV

John 14:27 NIV [27] Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.         https://bible.com/bible/111/jhn.14.27.NIV

There was a time when I would just let things go, but now I would like to work through my feelings and understand my thoughts. If there was a disagreement with someone, I would try to work it out, but there are times when we just have to let things go.

I am studying the bible. I have the Bible app on my phone (it’s free) and I ask a question on how I am feeling. My bible is way too big to carry around with me. I am grateful for this app.

My mind had wondered from my first thought and now I can only think about crocheting. I started a pink & grey blanket, but now I am looking at a bright yellow skein of yarn. Ugh, I wish I had seen the yellow yarn first oh well I am not going to frog this project.

I am good at talking on paper or in a text, but I would rather talk face to face, so one day I will think about everything I want to say, and let whatever happens happen. Good or bad walking in the truth is better than walking in a lie..

Matthew 7:8 NIV  [8] For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.     https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.7.8.NIV

Remembering A Smile…

Leave a comment

I couldn’t figure out what was missing in my bathroom. I started cleaning as I do every Saturday, no big deal, but after I was done it was still a mystery. Then as I was looking at my empty glass butterfly candle holder. There was a time when there were purple tea lights in it, but that look didn’t agree with me.

I was going through some pictures and came across a birthday party. A smile was pleasantly plastered on my face. How Could I not smile when it was my son’s birthday party?

I was sure I still held onto the toppings from that cake. He may not remember that day, but I remember it every time I see these toy cake toppers. I replaced the candles with Pooh Bear and Friends.

Now my bathroom looks like my bathroom again. Well, except for the missing frog. I have no idea where that went. If I find another one of my son’s lost toys I just add it to my collection.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a forgotten thought, something from your past or from someone else. If it makes you happy enough to smile, then it is well worth  placing it out to be seen everyday if you can.

My eyes want to close, but my mind keeps adding more things I want and need to do. There just isn’t enough time in a day to do everything I want to do. I want to start filling my new book with each new project.

I wanted to make a cotton candy shawl and a butterfly throw. I thought that was just an idea, but when I was in Hobby Lobby I saw these two yarns.

I found a few crochet shawl ideas on youtube and there were a few I liked. This is the one I chose. If you like it, try it. I have one more skein of yarn to go and mine will be done.

My Lazy Day….

Tired eyes want to close, the yawn that follows agrees, but I really want to reorganize my room. I had it all planned out where I was going to start, how my new look was going to be changed for the better, but reality had a different plan.

With the sunlight coming through the window and a quick glance at an unfinished cross stitch project and you start thinking of something else I need to do.

What to do? What do I want to do? What do I need to do? I am laughing, because I am going to work on my cross stitch project. This is a gift that is already a month late.

I am restarting on things I have to do. I’ve already ordered a new cane and a book. I don’t know why I don’t have energy today or well I am going to enjoy my lazy day…

Leaving my Past..

Life is so hard and it’s only going to get harder as you grow older. I am over 50 and I wish someone had stressed on the point to “Work smarter and Not enjoy your youth,” because I should have been saving instead of spending.

Then again I should have followed my dreams and worked harder to set them free. I put aside what I wanted, to go for the quick cash, and thirty plus years later I am paying for it.

There comes a time when we stop and look back and see all of our mistakes and wish we could go back and fix them. Today we see the young doing the same things and we try to tell them to change their steps. I get, “You sound just like my grandmother.”  I say, “thank you,”  because we don’t want you to make the same mistakes we did. We want you to be better.

I am Smiling for the next chapter in my life. It may have taken me longer than it should have, but I am stepping out in my best chapter. I will not be bugging you to better your life, you will realize my wordsworth later, but as for me? 

I AM MOVING FORWARD and LEAVING MY PAST in the PAST……………
