Just keep swimming

Ah.... Let us see if this blog post crashes and burns like the last one did.
I can honestly tell you I have no idea what I'm going to blog about.
I have no subject in mind.
So....  We will see what comes out of my head.

I'll start with what a beautiful day it is outside.
I'm in the kitchen at the table looking out two large windows onto the garden.
The garden is really a mess.  It needs organizing and cleaning up.  I have random junk laying around along with a hose that has three splices, one leak, and about 20 kinks in it.  I should name that hose.  It needs to be a name that fits it's extremely annoying personality.  I could call it the cursing hose, although the hose is not the one that curses when we use it.

My pond has no fish.  None.  They died.  It was sad.
I think the frogs over produced in it.  I need less lily pads and more fish.
I need fish built like a Tonka truck.

My kitchen table is full of stuff.  Random bits of mail and easter dishes, cups and strange things that need to be put away.
The sink is full of dishes along with both side boards.  My floor has cat litter and dog hair. 
There is not one room in my house that is organized or clean.
I should go shopping.
Ha!  I don't go shopping.  Unless it's to a thrift store and I don't have any room in my house for any more stuff, so I've been staying away from thrift stores.  How NOT fun is that????

The property is overgrown.  It needs mowing.  So...  When the neighbors chickens walk about, it gives Greta a chance to stalk them, although he is unsuccessful at catching them.  I don't think he really tries.  I think he just likes to hear them fuss.  Plus...I have a bell collar around his neck. 
He tried to catch a rabbit the other day.  That rabbit outran him by so much it was embarrassing.
He has a limp from a very bad broken leg many years ago, so it's good exercise for him.

I should clean my house.  I don't want to.
I want magical powers that work when I sing and wave a pretty stick with my tiara on my head.
It, the stick, must spit out glittery sparkles that disappear, so they don't make a mess on my floor.
How fun that would be.  I would have the most AWESOME DAY!!!!!!
I would paint the house and repair the Chihuahua's brain. 
BEST DAY EVER!!!!

I need to find a movie to play on the tv that will get me through cleaning.  It has to be something with good music and something I've seen enough times that I can listen and see it in my head.  It will keep my mind busy while I get the dishes done.  Blah!  Yesterday I played "you've got mail", then "pirates of the Caribbean".
Can I just take a nap instead?
hugs
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...
