Cheers to Life's Unexpected Turns

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

Christmas


When this picture is larger you can see the hawks eyes.

Goodness - time has flown by and I have not posted for awhile. It is the day after Christmas and I have to work. It will for sure be a quiet day so I can catch up on some things like downloading the pictures I took on my 6 hour jeep trip yesterday. I left right at daybreak and got a few good pictures of the sun's effects on the clouds and the mountains.

I was a bit disappointed because I was unable to get any pictures of hawks etc. They were all busy flying low to the ground looking for breakfast. I saw a lot of rabbits so I am sure the hawks didn't go hungry.

I met up with the herd of horses again and petted them and fed them crackers. It was so cold I could not stay out to long so the horses came up to my jeep window. Giant (my name for him) kept sticking his head in the window trying to get more crackers - he made me laugh. I spent about 40 minutes with them.

It was an interesting Christmas. The kids wanted to do Christmas on Saturday night - whatever - I wasn't all that festive this year so it didn't matter to me. We had fun exchanging gifts. My best present was new speakers and a radio/CD/MP3 player. Christmas eve day the man and I hung out at the mall for a bit and we ran into my ex-daughter-in-law. I sure miss her. It was fun chatting.

After I got home from jeeping on Christmas I finished cooking our big Christmas meal and we all ate together then scattered to the four winds. . I read, the man watched football and the kids played "Command and Conquer"

Tonight I visit with the Pastor again. I have been so blessed by the tapes on Grace. That has really been the turning point for me. Anyhow - I will ask him to just visit me in a month and see where I am at and if I am progressing the way I should. He is such a busy man that I do not want to take anymore of his time.

If Christians understood grace more then they would be a lot happier!

Well must go get my coffee. My eyelids are closing. I am not sleeping well at night - tonight I am going to take something to help me sleep!

Chatter



I saw the doc - he didn't want to change my meds but rather I try the "blue light" which is said to help with depression, tiredness and sleeplessness. I used it the last two nights and I slept really well. Didn't wake up at 2 and 3 in the morning. I have used it for two mornings also. Not as much difference there in regard to the tiredness I feel during the day. I am to try it for two weeks and if there is no difference then I will see him again. It would be great if this works and I would be able to get all but one of my meds.

Jeeze -it is almost Christmas. I have only gotten one gift. Can we say procrastination?

It is rainy outside. Suppose to get snow this weekend. May I will get a little snow jeeping in or snap some good winter pictures. I have to go get my camera lenses cleaned before I can take anymore pictures so I had better get that done today.

I reread a famous quote that kind of sums up my life - "I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work"

Cheers to another day - Enjoy and take time to laugh!
