The man readying to leave

Chopper out and in waiting for the boy

Me up showered, dress, and ready for the day. I’m off to Eau Claire for the day.

Very much looking forward to Feb. the man and I are taking the month off. It has yet to be seen as happened but who knows maybe this time it will. We are not very good at not having something to work on.

Very fun time celebrating with B for her 21st.

Still waiting for the printer cord to be moved. Along with several boxes from the upstairs hallway. Am shooting for tomorrow to get some of these things accomplished. Am giving serious consideration to a winter garage sale.

Today my fasting is offered up for all my Godchildren and their families.

Parents of adult children… depend on Our Lady of Sorrows for those things heavy on you heart.

Happy Birthday to all

Can we talk about the correct way to cross the street at a marked and signaled crossing? Yesterday a little 7th or 8th grader played the I’m Immortal game at the crosswalk. Thankfully MY guardian angel brought her to my attention and I had time to stop. Her guardian angel tapped her and I could physically see that tap. But she did the normal don’t listen and do it anyway. Her slight hesitation and my full stop saved her life. The story, I am driving W past the school Little Missy is walking down the sidewalk wearing a blue hoodie. She looks up, sees me, and then checks the distance from her to the crosswalk, she picks up her pace to a very fast walk, and again looks at me, I am less than 2 car lengths from the crosswalk already braking, and she looks again makes eye contact with me presses the signal button, never missing a beat steps out in from of me and crosses with less than a foot clearance from my bumper. Her intent was to live dangerously, and it was obvious. She might want to check out her responsibilities in chapter 346 of the WI Code.

The boy got a new car. Nice.

My printer isn’t working in one program only. It worked for the Nov. print but does not for the Dec. It works for everything else. Driving me crazy!

Coffee good

Belated birthday to my friend J. Hope it was an awesome New Year’s Day

Virtue for January… Perfection… Matt 5:48… “Be ye perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect. St Paul had good words for us in Phil 3:13-14 “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth yourself to those that are before, I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.”

Looking forward to an uncomplicated day. What’s your’s looking like?

The man off and running

Chopper out, in, eating

Pondering Bacci’s ” Absorbed in the deafening din of the world around us, it is difficult to hear the voice of God.”

Each year about now, I realize how very much I need to increase my time with God. However, in a few weeks, I will have tossed my resolve to do better, awakening one day to realize that once again, I rush thru without giving God his due consideration.

Not only do I fail eventually I fail to recognize I have/am failing in this area. This is why I started this blog last year. To make sure I give our Lord consideration each day. If you have been here with me, it is obvious when I don’t take/make time for God.

This year…

the blog will continue.

Intermitant Fasting will continue.

Cpap usage will continue.

My hope is to add… a daily walk time

New Year Prayer

A New Year’s Broom

O God,

You are ever-new

and

forever ageless.
Bless

your people

who live in space

and

time as we begin

a new year.
Make us new.
May this

New Year’s Broom

sweep clean this house

of last year’s grudges
and reservations

and any

residual acts

of unkindness.
Sweep cle
an our home

of old dusty routines,

of tired ruts

and dead-end patterns,
which prevent us

from a greater love

of each other and of You.
May this New Year’s Broom

sweep from our hearts

all fears and angry memories
and the pieces of broken dreams.
May our hearts,

now swept clean,

have room

for fresh new dreams,
for all the

beginnings of the new year,
with which you, our God

 have gifted us.
Let the New Year

rich with

God’s holy blessings

now come into our lives.

Amen.
