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

Still waiting


Still waiting for miss pup (no name yet). I should get her this comming weekend or the following. It depends how she is eating. Slowly buying the necessities and reading all about potty training, training, socializing etc. It shall be a lot of work but like a child if you do the work in the begining the rest isn't as hard as if you didn't.
We actually have a warm sunny day. It is nice to have cool air and sun that warms the old bones.
I am listening to Mercy Me, Ben is upstairs with Sarah, the man is napping and I am getting ready to write to all those who wrote over the Christmas holidays. Tonight will do my daily 4-5 hours of homework.
Watched an awesome sermon this morning. I love Jon Courson's thoughts and the way the Lord uses him to share the good Word. I am learning to let the Lord lead in all of my activities.
I am really wanting to go to Bangledesh in November. I will let the Lord determine that. Meanwhile I shall get my Visa, passport and vaccines.
Must always remember to let the Potter mold me into what he wants. "Search me oh Lord and if there be any wicked way...."

One week down only 14 (?) to go

First week of school... After getting everything figured out we are off to a start. I was very stressed this past week at work and with school. I need to calm down a bit. I also need to rely on the good Lord instead of relying on myself.
My stepsis graduated today. She called earlier in the week - need to unload some tears. She was wishing daddy could be at her graduation. Sad moments come along every so often. A day has not gone by this past year that I have not remembered my dad is dead. Wonder when I will miss a day?
We have so much snow. The weather is more like it was when I moved here years ago. I love it! It is suppose to warm up but I wishing for another large snowstorm
Little One, pictured above will be able to leave its mommy in about 2 1/2 weeks. I dread the puppy stage. It is a poodle mix so will be cuter than a poodle.
Oldest will be moving into their new home next weekend. So proud of him. Youngest started back to college - I am proud of him taking on the challenge.
I was going to go to the place of my childhood on the day that dad died but changed my mid. School is too hard to miss any days. Will spend the day reflecting the good times.
Took a grand picture yesterday - it is awesome. It might be one I enter next year.
Nothing planned - just work, school and housework in between.
The man gets the second eye done tomorrow then in a few weeks I get my eyes done - no more contacts or glasses!!!!
Time to do dishes - - -
