Oh What a Beautiful Morning, Oh What a Beautiful Day!

Oh what a beautiful day!  Windows up, doors open, sun shining, breeze blowing and this was my view during my quiet time this morning.


Callie has no claws and can only dream of chasing the birds that she follows with her eyes, but she does love sitting on the window sills.

The day began with more calls about items for sale. I listed, sold and delivered this today.


Has anyone read The Cozy Minimalist?  I haven't, but I want to. It's a top seller on all markets. I think I'm coming right along with the purging.

I visited the local Help Center, a thrift shop, and found this large piece of Canvas Art.



By the end of the day, my excitement had waned when I realized how hard I had worked for just pennies, so to speak. 

I enjoyed junking for an hour or so.  I purchased an item in an antique store by accident, as in, it was an accident.  I knocked over an $8 framed print and had to buy it.  Ugh.  The manager wasn't very nice. Just about as nice as I told the judge that the State Patrol was.(That's another story.)  Oh my goodness, I could write a book!  Needless to say, I took my little $8 "purchase" and left.  I will not be back.  I know.  Jesus was not happy with me.  I turned the other cheek.  I really did.  (Probably not the one He was talking about.)  I'm sorry.  I think Jesus has a sense of humor too.  He's shaking His head at me right now and my daddy is right there with him. My mama is standing back laughing.  She really would be. God forgive me.  He does. 

Enough of my sarcasms.  On a serious note, I got a call from a Rehab Center about a job opening for the Assistant to the Business Office Manager and Director of Admissions.  I'm not sure how I feel about it.  I don't know that I'm emotionally ready to go back to work.  However, it makes Mr. H. happy to know that help is on the horizon.  I've still not been without a check so all is good.  God's timing is perfect, of course.

It really has been a beautiful day! Now, I have this tune in my head.  Oh What a Beautiful Morning, Oh What a Beautiful Day! I bet you do too!

The 40-Day Sugar Fast: Day 24

I'm on Day 24 of my 40-day Sugar Fast. I'm past many of the symptoms I had in the beginning, but I'm having stomach issues.  I think it's coffee! It's been on the hardest things I've ever done, but one of the best! I've lost some pounds.  I've gained far more! Yesterday, I got a message from my supervisor that my morning client had canceled services for the day. I so needed a morning to just sit and feed on all that God has been teaching me. Each chapter has been exactly what I've needed for each day. The day she addressed healing past hurts, Holy Spirit brought to my mind some issues that I needed to deal with. The day she dealt with boredom and idle minds, I was scrolling, switching back and forth from Facebook, Word Cross, Instagram, and Pinterest to fill the loneliness. Sometimes, I feel so alone. I miss the familiar. I miss community. I miss seeing people that I know. Anyone else get ...

God Said Move

In The Summer of last year, I began to feel a restlessness in my spirit. I sensed that things were about to change.  One night in October, I had closed my eyes and was not asleep when I saw in my spirit a sign in the front yard. It was a red, white and blue sign like a Remax Realty sign. I heard the word, "Move." I knew it was the Holy Spirit speaking to me.  David had been unhappy living in the big city. He spent most of his time on the highways and interstates around Middle TN. He traveled anywhere from 375-500 miles a day. He talked of moving back home, and I always resisted. So, I said, "Okay, Lord. I'm not sure what this means. If it's means we will actually move, I'm willing. If it means, you're moving me spiritually, I'm ready.  The very next day, David said, "I need you to pray about something." I knew what he was going to say and I told him about my dream. He had a job offer. The market was a seller's market. Within a few weeks,...

Growing, Going, Gone

Do you ever consider how fast your children grew up? At the time, it seemed that the sleepless nights would last forever and the terrible twos would stay terrible forever, the pre- teens awkwardness and the teenage defiance would never end. And then they turn 16, you give them the keys and they speed off into the world...gone.   I expected that, somewhat, and I even learned to release my children as they grew. What I didn't expect was for the grandkids to go so fast.  2014 our miracle baby arrives. Our Christmas gift from above.  We enjoy the other two for our last Christmas in GA before moving to Tennessee.  2015 we enjoy our first Christmas after moving to Nashville in May.  2016 and we enjoy our first Christmas in our new house.  2017 the last Christmas the three will be the littles.  2018 new babies. 2019 the year before Covid and the last Christmas in our new home.  2020 the Covid Christmas gathering almost didn't happen. The kids considered ...
