Up

 Sunday things

Happy November. October was beautiful in parts. Very hard in others. One day a time. One minute at a time. I’m learning again and again how God works in His time, not my own. It frustrates me yet leaves with tears of thankfulness at the same time. It’s confounding at times, but that’s okay. For a perfectionist, I’m having to let go daily even if I’m not good at doing it. Disability leaves me angry yet amazed in the same breath. It’s in the way He forces me to go on daily even if I think of giving up more than I should. I won’t give up, but I can’t say my mind doesn’t go there. I see the unfairness in the world, yet also its beauty. I’m a bundle of contradictions lately it seems. I won’t apologize for being human. I’ve done it so often, it’s a hard habit to break. I still wonder after all these years, if what I do matters or makes a difference. Then, I remember, it’s not my job to wonder about things above my pay grade. 

If He is pleased

Then faithfully

Continuing knowing

That the only

Audience

That really matters

Is the one

I see

When looking 

Upward

Peace

 Lord

Grant me 

Peace and perserverance

As the day 

Goes long

Blog birthday

 It’s almost the blog’s birthday. I lost count of how many years it’s been. It’s been one heck of a ride. The most consistent endeavor I’ve ever undertaken. So in honor of a big day tomorrow, I’m going to celebrate. How you ask. Checking the mailbox for snail mail and a handful of candy corn. Thank you for stopping by here each day to cheer me on. I may never meet you in real life, but I’m so grateful for your love and support. 

Some of my favorite things on this almost blog birthday. 

Meeting you all

Finding pieces of myself each day

Stretching this writing gene


Some facts about me

I love thrifting

Sweet over savory most days

I enjoy Diet Coke

I love walking into the drugstore, and checking out new lip balms

I can never have too many stamps to send happy mail

Iced coffee over hot coffee for me

I love a good salad

I love to reread my favorite books

Hues

 Peeping the fall hues

Red and orange

Yellow too

While the windows

Roll down

To let

The wind

Brush my hair

Blue

 Dreaming of the vast

Azure sea shore

Ebbing and flowing

As is life’s

Natural order

 Lord

Hear my cries

My pleas

My yearning

The desires

Of my heart
