Good Morning! Looking for another easy day today. These “Golden Years” are wearing me down. Yesterday as I lifted my right leg to walk up a step something popped in my knee. Right foot is numb, and tingly, and doesn’t like to step over things. Walking was/is an issue. Will call in today but dislike the thought of another trip to the Dr. with no results. At present, I feel as if because I am older, fat, and non-conforming (as in refusing the vaccines they want me to have) they dismiss me. Apparently, I don’t ask enough questions and therefore am not invested in my health. I contend I should not have to research everything by myself. I go to the Dr. because they are a doctor and they should have a plan on what to do and communicate that plan to me without my having to ask. I also am amazed at how their after-visit notes say things that didn’t happen or were not communicated to me if they did happen. Nuff of the whine. I will get thru this too.

-Memory Verse – Luke 1:28 – And coming to her, he said, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.”

Good Morning! It looks like a crazy Monday is in store for me today. There is more snow on the ground, winds are picking up, and temperatures are falling. Hey, guess what? Winter has arrived in Wisconsin. I was wondering when it would get here. How are you doing? How are you getting on with your slowdown of life? Hard isn’t it? We are so used to being on the go all the time that slowing seems almost sinful, doesn’t it? satan wants you to feel that way. Do not feel guilty about making time for God, your family, and your home. Do not feel guilty about enjoying the life you have chosen or been given. Revel in it! All too often we rush thru life never really living it, never really appreciating it, or even realizing the legacy we are leaving. Slow down, schedule time for yourself and God, as well as yourself and family. It is okay to sit and ponder, reflect, and plan.

Good Morning! Woke to the ground covered in snow. Not much of it but, enough to make the world’s dirt and grime pristine white. Funny how God can take an action of nature and couple it with the feast day we are living. Today is “The Baptism of the Lord”, how appropriate to wake to the sight of a pristine white world so that we can be reminded that through baptism our sins are washed away and our soul is pristine. This then prompts us to keep our soul in that condition thru confession.

Say a prayer for the woman who was running away from a domestic situation, hit and killed by passing car. Say another for my son D who saw the whole thing and couldn’t save her.

Family history ready for pick up late afternoon. Paper trash burned, other trash readied -the man dropped it off. Maid taken home, ice cutter dropped off, copy work dropped off. Quick trip to Mauston to pick up a used printer. Ink ordered. Found a fabulous St Vincent’s there. Neat, tidy, good prices, clean, and organized. That’s a 1st for me at at St Vinny’s.
