Yay!!!!!

Good morning again.  :)
I am on my second day of writing in my blog and my second day of feeling good.
My body isn't sore and I don't have the crazy fatigue today.  Yay God!!!
I got about 3 or 4 hours of sleep last night.....   :(
But....I'm in good spirits, the sun is shining, God has blessed me with enough of what I need and my family is happy and healthy.  What more can I ask for.

Yesterday I went out to run errands.  I hadn't been out of the house since the weekend, so it was a nice break to just drive around and look at things.  I get to drive in Taylor's car while he's away and it's a nice zippy little thing that I love to drive.  Bruce showed up to help me at the grocery store, at about 6, to finish out the day.  Yay Bruce!
When we got home there was a rabbit next to my garden gate.  So cute!!! 

The garden looks like a jungle at the moment.  We don't have enough bees to pollinate everything and it's been so hot that I haven't had a chance to clean up the beds.  We're still getting a bunch of my asparagus beans and Bruce's jalapeños.  Bruce will need to can them when he has time.

Todays chores are to wash sheets, clean the kitchen, make more deodorant, wash my hubby's work clothes (twice), and figure out dinner.  I might even start a batch of Kombucha today since my scoby blobs are ready to go.  Yay me!
I don't know how women or men who have to do all the home chores and work, are able to do so without getting sick.  It takes me all day every day to get done what I get done and I'm not even getting everything done.  ;)

It's so pretty outside.  I hope it's a cooler day on Saturday because we have a crazy amount of cleanup to do on the property since all the rain.  We have so much rock, so you can't just run a mower over everything.  Half of the 2 1/2 acres has to be trimmed with a weed eater.  It takes forever and my sweet husband can't get it all done with everything else he does.  He hits the basic areas around the house and gives me that look like,  "if you want more done, do it yourself".  So....I will need to do some major kissing up to get some of the other areas done.  He's a sweetie, so he'll do it, but not without the grumpy face.  Lol.  (Yay Bruce????)

Well....I have my coffee, I have "you've got mail" playing on the tv in the kitchen, I have the sheets in the wash..........LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!!!

Have a great day!!!
hugs

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...
