<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know that I say this almost every time I come back after a long absence, but TIME truly does get away from me! I write all these seemingly amazing blog posts in my head as I go about my day, but it is a totally different thing to get them onto the written page. Although I DO aspire to do so! I always think it will be different & I'm always dismayed to see that it's been another 11 months! YIKES! I am so in awe of all the Blogger's out there who keep up on a regular basis. My hat's OFF to YOU!! INdeed!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been a VERY LONG Winter! Do y'all feel the same? Do they actually get l o n g e r as I grow older?? Perhaps so. I just know that this one was especially LONG. I thought Spring would never come. I wondered more than once, unfortunately, if I would live to see another Summer. Not particularly pretty. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here we are, though and I am thankful. The Sun came back! Growing season is upon me again. I am digging in the dirt. Bringing small seeds to life. Feeling the Power of the Creator and being Thankful. Thankful.</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm mostly afraid to do that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to be more BRAVE. To actually think that something I am thinking or experiencing could possibly be of help to someone else.....</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BRAVE.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I try to embrace and believe that "All things work together for them whom are called according to HIS Purpose".</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That MY Story had a purpose.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That the daily battle is worth sharing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been struggling a lot with panic and anxiety lately. It comes over me in a big wave..... Suddenly I feel like I want to just jump out of my skin, that I can't breathe & I don't know how I will get through my day....or the next minute....that I desperately need RESCUED.....</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have meds....and a really sweet Therapist, who is ready with lots of advice. She seems to believe in me. She tries to give me lots of good options. She tells me I can take everything slowly. That I can do things on my OWN terms. Make it less frightening for myself. That I am a GOOD Mother and Wife. That my children will be fine....that it's OK to let them try some things on their own. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last week we explored the first time I ever experienced the fear that someone would leave me. That I was not SAFE.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turned out to be when I was about 11 yrs old & my Mother & Dad would get into an argument & my Dad would threaten to leave us. My little brother and I sitting/standing in front of the door he was threatening to walk out of. Crying. Begging him to stay. It felt like DEATH.....couldn't breathe....</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I could not imagine a life without him. He was our rock. What was this MADNESS??</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Somehow things would calm. He would relent, and my brother & I would go back to bed to try to sleep, but how can you when your very foundation has been rocked and you've seen the cracks in it......??</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10327910639444705797noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109390998442676350.post-19081351819712325152013-06-05T07:48:00.003-07:002013-06-05T07:48:45.510-07:00LuLu is Beautiful!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Made me miss my Mama a lot. Last year when I created that flower bed she was right beside me. Handing me tools, bragging on my mad skills and offering me iced tea. "You need to stop and take a drink, TriciaKay."</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was having a few 'Jesus' lessons in the garden this morning. Like: be careful what you leave as flowers, they may very well be weeds that are going to take over as soon as your attention is elsewhere.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Be deeply, deeply rooted & not easily removed. Had a clump of tall grass that I had to use every tool in my arsenal to finally, finally pull out! It was fiercely dug in. <u>I want to be that.</u> Some of the flowers I was trying to carefully weed around had such delicate little roots that they were so easily uprooted & I felt sad. Trying to quickly stick them back into the dirt, hoping they will make it, but feeling doubtful.<u> I don't want to be that.</u> Lovely up top, but no substance to hold on with.</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After several days and many cans of brilliant silver spray paint.....the inside of my girl, LuLu is shiney and silver....all silver, silver, silver! I'm loving it! It began with a can of silver appliance paint to cover the ugly brown stove and oven....then, I just kept going and going. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I believe I'm going to enjoy it much more than white....it's bright and light without being too, too...... you know? ...and unique, of course, unique.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok, not nearly as much cleaning and prep as painting. I'm always so eager to get to the good parts, I don't have much patience for the mundane, which means I have spray painted a whole set of lovely cobwebs in the corners.</span></div>

Happy Relief.<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #b4a7d6;">I am Thankful. Indeed. Probably should begin each and every post with that simple, powerful sentence.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #b4a7d6;">A thankful heart is a happy heart.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #b4a7d6;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been a difficult couple of weeks. Lots of things happening at once...or not happening....</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My back broke. Ok, not really, but it feels like it when my herniated discs bulge out and it feels like IronMan has pressed entire fist up against my spine......UGH! Couldn't straighten up. Walking like a little stooped Grannie, couldn't climb up and down in my big truck (breaks my heart), couldn't do much of anything for a few days. The worst it's been in quite some time. Right in the middle of my good streak of working out....UGH, again....</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Had a BIG meeting for Kat at her school. I dreaded it because these things always make me feel like my parenting is being evaluated and found wanting. Also, it seems to make me re-live my own school experiences & takes a lot of energy for me to shake myself and say, "Hey! I'm the MAMA" All grown up & Powerful!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so very impressed and thankful for the willingness of Kat's teachers to work with her unique set of needs and their enthusiasm to help her be successful and for the support of our good therapist. Kudos to all of them. It was GOOD.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've finished enrolling AnnaBelle in the Oregon Connections Academy & she is on her WAY to a very impressive remainder of 8th grade without the distractions of BOYS, the DRAMA of mean Girls and the subsequent stress.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">THANKFUL.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My sweet Man is WAY TOO BUSY at work, but again we are thankful for the good business and believe the Helpers will come and he won't always have to get up at 1:30am to head to the Log Yard.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9; color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Good Chiropractor blessed me with his Teeter Spine Inversion Machine and it is HELPing my poor back.</span><br />

I received a beautiful new desktop touch-screen computer from my man for Christmas, but I haven't been able to fully enjoy it because we were sharing an internet connection our neighbor generously allowed.

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Frustrating......</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So, shortly into the new year, I ordered our own high speed hook-up and through a series of painful delays.......(you wouldn't even believe it....) we just now, today, February 1, 2013, received our modem and we are ON LINE, BABY!!! I am so excited!! OOOOOh.....the possibilities.....!!!!! </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10327910639444705797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109390998442676350.post-54660778874500874712013-01-26T10:18:00.002-08:002013-01-26T10:18:51.195-08:00Really GOOD Memories<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I woke up with this good old hymn in my head this morning. I've been singing it as I piddle around the house and make breakfast. My husband says, "Hon, I love to hear you singing." Makes me smile. My Mama always had a song in her heart and on her lips while we were growing up. Always made me feel that all was well with the world, no matter what was going on. She still does. I wish she were here right now singing it with me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I'm happy to feel I might do a little bit of that for my family.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
At the Cross<br />
<br />
Alas! and did my Savior bleed<br /> And did my Sovereign die?<br /> Would He devote that sacred head<br /> For sinners such as I?<br /> Refrain<br /> At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,<br /> And the burden of my heart rolled away,<br /> It was there by faith I received my sight,<br /> And now I am happy all the day!<br /><br /> Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine—<br />And bathed in its own blood—<br />While the firm mark of wrath divine,<br /> His Soul in anguish stood.<br /><br /> Was it for crimes that I had done<br /> He groaned upon the tree?<br /> Amazing pity! grace unknown!<br /> And love beyond degree!<br /><br /> Well might the sun in darkness hide<br /> And shut his glories in,<br /> When Christ, the mighty Maker died,<br /> For man the creature’s sin.<br /><br /> Thus might I hide my blushing face<br /> While His dear cross appears,<br /> Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,<br /> And melt my eyes to tears.<br /><br /> But drops of grief can ne’er repay<br /> The debt of love I owe:<br /> Here, Lord, I give my self away<br />’Tis all that I can do.<br /><br /> Words: Isaac Watts (1707)<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10327910639444705797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109390998442676350.post-61640951712623229452013-01-25T06:36:00.000-08:002013-01-25T06:36:22.341-08:00...and it's Friday<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Strange how some "short" weeks can still feel so very long. Have had a lot of pain with my back. More than I've had in a very long time. Kind of scares me....OK, It scares me very much! A lot! I have a herniated disc that doesn't always play nice. I've been bent over and hobbling like a lil Grannie. Not really my best look. Couldn't pull myself in and out of my big truck. Kind of ruins the whole effect of a big truck when your children are having to push and prod you!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">My Chiropractor, Dr. Lance, made it better for one day, then I cautiously crawled out of bed yesterday morning and......wham-O!! It's back!! Ha....not even a funny pun.....!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">Enough of that! I really don't like talking about ailments. Would rather talk nonsense, anything else, really....but it was first on my mind this morning as I sit here thinking, 'go away, go away', go away, please go away'.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">Patience, my dear. All will be well and all will be well and all manner of things will be well.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">I am truly craving Spring! and Growth, Bloom, Green, all those lovely verdant things that go with it. I've ordered some seed catalogs so I can dream about planting season and visualize my garden.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">I have a very late blooming Amaryllis that I've been nurturing since before Christmas and it just finally burst forth in all it's splendid GLORY this week. So Spectacular!</span><br />

Santa was very good to me. Huge touchscreen...all kinds of possibilities I've barely begun to explore!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">One of the reasons I wished for it was to do more with my blog, so we shall see if a new computer was what was indeed holding me back...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">Cup of coffee by my side, but not too near the computer....fuzzy dog under my feet...music on....the faint sound of my daughters alarm going off every 10 minutes. She needs lots of snooze-time before she can actually rise & shine.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">My other daughter sleeping as if it were vacation. She's gotten too used to these few days off before her new semester begins. We will hopefully complete her enrollment today for Oregon Connections Academy (ORCA). </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">Too much drama and distraction at her middle school had caused her to become so stressed & unhappy, with her usually good grades reflecting all of that. Made a decision to try something different for her. I'm very excited to see what she will do in this new academic environment.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana;">It has been so unbelievably cold here. The wind chill makes it impossible to be outside & I have a bit of cabin fever. Hoping for some warmer temps soon. I'm really wanting to go out and shoot my guns! I miss that so much.</span><br />

We dove into our food so fast I didn't get a picture, but this is my frosty decadent cocktail made with the tastiest black rum! YUM!! We had a very exuberant waiter whom my daughters thought was C+U+T+E and Dad & I thought was annoying. TYPICAL!</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Looking at Pinterest just now and every pin about a movie or a theatre, making me cringe. So SAD. SO, SO SAD.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Makes everything else feel desperately TRIVIAL & makes me feel guilty for being trivial, but then I think how we have to embrace every moment, no matter what we're doing.... even looking at Pinterest, or blogging randomly... Make an extra effort to ENJOY & HUG & LOVE & take it all in because life is truly so fleeting & precarious & certainly NOT promised to us from one breath to the next. TAKE IT ALL IN!</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I read a post the other day that said, sarcastically, "I can't wait to see the pictures you've been taking of yourself with your phone!

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Been thinking of downloading the book, "Let's Pretend this never Happened" by Jenny Lawson for my Kindle Fire. I was browsing AMAZON.com, which then led me to Jenny's blog, "The Bloggress", which made me laugh out loud! I love the way she writes! Reading about the surprise she gave her husband for their anniversary....A Sloth!! and a Wallaby! TOO FUNNY! Turned out they were just on loan, but what a terrific idea! I loved his reaction & her casual re-counting of the whole thing. Good Stuff!!</b></span><br />
