Finding Joy in Your Life!

Always remember that

Joy is not what is going on around you, but what is inside of you!

GREAT MEDICINE!!

Yesterday was a wonderful day. My daughter and I finally had Thanksgiving dinner - she had been out of town - but it was worth the wait! We had a great meal but an even better time together. We also decorated my house for Christmas and just had a great time. Even though I was not feeling great physically, I felt a lot better emotionally after spending the day with her. She truly is wonderful medicine for me!!

Remember the Reason for the Season!

It seems that every year, Christmas becomes more and more commercialized. The stores start decorating sooner, ads appear earlier on TV, toy catalogs reach our homes before Halloween is even over. Please take a moment this season to remember the true meaning of the season. While it is fun to celebrate with Santa and to have all the parties and gatherings, the true meaning of the season is the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and remembers all the things they are thankful for today. Even though sometimes things are tough, we truly have some much to be thankful for!! Happy Thanksgiving!

Trip to Honor my Father

On my way to Columbia today. First time I have been back since my father died. His Rotary Club is honoring him and it is very important to me to be there. I am a little nervous - it is going to be a really emotional time. I am so grateful my daughter is going with me. I couldn't make it without her. Physically couldn't drive myself but also need her emotionally. God has truly blessed me with her!!

This Is The Beginning of a New Day

This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day to use as I will.
I can waste it or use it for good,
but what I do today is important
because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever,
leaving in its place something that I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain and not loss; good and not evil;
success and not failure; in order that I shall not
regret the price I have paid for it.

Not feeling so good but still a great day!

Not feeling too good today. Some days this neurological disease really gets me. I am not breathing too well and feel really tired. Kind of cold and dreary outside. It is a good day to take it easy at home. But it is a new day and I am here! No matter how I physically feel, it is a great day!! I have to remember that day by day God will take care of me and all I have to do is trust in Him for each day's needs. I know when I am having a difficult time, God sends me the strength and nourishment I need to face what comes my way. (Exodus 16:4).

Each Day is A Beautiful New Day!!

I am new to this - this is my first blog ever! But the last 10 years have not been easy on me but I have refused to give up! This blog will be my story of the last few years and the story of my life now and what I hope my future will be. Hopefully it will be inspirational to all those who read because through it all, I have refused to give up!! Each new day is A Beautiful New Day for me!
