What to do...hmmmm

Good Morning!
It's cloudy outside. 
My second cup of coffee is brewing and I'm sitting here considering my day.
And....now it's raining.
I love rainy days, although our 109 year old tin roof leaks.  :/
Ok, now it's stopped raining. Gotta love three second rains..

Today's chore list doesn't exist yet.  The bills need paying, the kitchen is a disaster and there are two very full hampers that need their clothes washed.  But...lets just pretend that's not the case and imagine I can do whatever I want today.  What would I do?  I would probably go thrift store shopping.  But then I would bring in all this stuff I don't have room for. 
I'm a really good thrift store shopper.  Our entire home is full of thrift store finds.  And when I say full...I mean FULL. 
But pretty. 
;)

Church was great last night.  The message was so good. 
We spend about an hour practicing music before the service and that time always seems to give me goose bumps.  Then, for the service, we are so focused on getting the music right, that I lose that connection.  It's just harder to worship.  I didn't do so well on a new song, I had just learned an hour before, and it totally throws me off mentally.  Fortunately I was just doing harmony. 
The message was about being kind.  I loved it.


I could work on getting my dolls started today.  I could sew up some bodies and have them ready for stuffing.  But...the kitchen will have to be cleaned up first.  Then it will be time to pick up alex and then it will be time to make dinner, and then it will be time to pick up alex again, and then it will be time to clean up dinner and then I will be tired and ready for bed.  No wonder so many people eat fast food, or when I was little peanut butter and jelly.  I really could simplify my day and make it work for me if I try hard enough. I can fill the dishwasher and cut out bodies while it runs, and then dump it and fill it again. 
Your probably wondering why my kitchen would be so bad that it would take so long to clean....  Well...you see....the thing is....we made a big mess in the kitchen and didn't feel like cleaning it up last night.  Don't roll your eyes at me.  You know you've all done it.  Except maybe Mary.  Mary is like my mom and her head would explode if she went to bed with a dirty kitchen.  :)

I can hardly wait for fall. The idea of sitting on the porch swing on a cool morning with coffee just makes me happy.

I got to see the baby bunny yesterday as it was sitting outside my husbands shop.  It was bigger than I thought it would be.  All I could think of was keeping kiki away so she doesn't try to eat it. 
Not that she has the energy for it anymore.

Well, I should probably get my day started. 
Big hugs from me to you.
Shannon

DIVORCE AND MENTAL HEALTH

 It is a beautiful hot day outside.  Texas weather in the summers are not for the faint of heart, that's for sure.  But it is truly beautiful.  We've had a good amount of rain through June so the grass is still green, which doesn't usually happen by July.   I don't blog often.  I unintentionally hurt someones feelings with a blog post and I don't want to do that again so I am very nervous blogging about anything.  I created this blog page to try and heal myself and maybe help anyone else who might be going through the same circumstances.  I have depression that has been my constant companion for a good part of my life.   So most of my blog posts are my way of working through my depression.  I have a hard time feeling safe in many situations.  A good amount of that was because of how our home felt when I was young.  I had precious parents that weren't good at communication.  I don't think they knew how to be any o...

I AM

Several years ago I read something that really made sense to me. I can't remember where I read it or what exactly it said but it talked about how saying the words "I am ......." before some value that you wish you had.  It was explained that, in doing so, it could change your subconscious thinking.   We all have so many thoughts running through our heads at any given moment and I would guess that not all those thoughts are positive.  If you are a woman, then you probably have many more thoughts running at one time than any man would.  Most of us have high expectations for ourselves, so every imaginable self criticism comes to mind and runs on a continuous loop in our heads. When we read the bible it has so many areas that talk about taking captive your thoughts, thinking of only good things, speaking words that only lift us up, and BELIEVING what you pray for, so it will be done.  So the trick for most of us is to shut down those negative subconscious thoughts t...

Todays thoughts

I've been listening and reading about a new fad in Christianity that has become very heart breaking for me personally . It seems there is a growing number of people who don't like what they call the "institution" of the church. You know what? Church is not perfect and never was. That's why there are so many letters in the bible to churches telling them what they need to change. It's not going to be perfect but that doesn't mean we walk away. What concerns me about great Christian people who give up on the church experience, is that, in giving up and only gathering with a small group of Christians, they are losing the experience of fellowship with people that have no other place to go. Christians who need loving people around them on that Sunday morning, to help get them through the week. What I LOVE about church is that I am accepted even though I'm not perfect, wealthy, popular or whatever. I LOVE that when my children come to church, they are...
