Get Warm Inside


It is so cold out today.

I'm stayin' inside. Doing some mundane chores. 
How is your life?  Mundane or exciting?  Warm or Cold?  Humans have the option of staying out in the cold, or warming up inside.  I'm talking about a True warm:  nice warm feeling you get when you know God loves you.  Hanging out with friends (like the birds on this line) can be a fun thing. Or like today with wind chills about 11 degrees... it can be a Cold existence. Do you know if your friends are "warmed" by God? Do they have Him in their life, or do they exist "out in the cold".  Don't interpret that I mean a person has to be a religious fanatic.... sometimes I see that as "attention getting" for that person, not for God.  I'm talking about a true love of God, a sincere belief in "Life" and this world in which we live by caring for others.  Do you show your zest for life?  Sure there are many rocks (sometimes boulders) in the road we travel.  Get over it, or around it, or whatever it takes to move on.  To live, you must truly LIVE.  
          And, when you have the chance.... pass on your "zest" for life. You just never know how a kind   greeting, a smile, a hug, will help another person have a better day just because you cared. Let them know you care, and God does too.  Blessings to you and those you care about.

                                                               Now go, live Zestfully!

Life Course

Life changes. Tragedies. Trauma. But, I am still here. Moving forward. The photo in this entry is part of a letter to my family, kind of explaining "who I am" now. Their concern is for my happiness, and I sincerely appreciate that, and their love for me.  In recent years of going through illnesses and deaths of those close to me, I have gained a renewed vision of Life.  I am more accepting of the unknown in life. I am willing to take the chance at "love": be it simple friendships, or something more.  Some say, don't move too fast, take your time. Some say, get out, do all you can.   Well, I sort of combine the two.  Alone time is important, but also I need the comfort and warmth of others in my life. What is thrown at me now is simply, "added into" the mix.  I do not "fret" over trivialities. Don't get angry. Don't worry. I am grateful for time spent with family and "old" friends. I am equally accepting of "new" re

Things Get Sideways in My Brain

Sideways View    Do you ever have those times when things just get kinda "cross-eyed" in your head?  It sometimes happens when we least expect it. The day can start out just fine, and before you know it.... everything heads south. Some of the symptoms are:  impatience,  ill temper,  confusion, misunderstandings, or simply "stupid" thoughts. I had one of these kind of days this week.  I won't even acknowledge the day it was... that isn't important.  What's worthy of noting is that most of a day was "lost" to unintelligible thinking.  Now, just to clarify, I had attended the funeral of a man I had known since I was a kid.  He lived a full, Christian life, friend to all he met.  The eulogy was excellent and fitting.  However,  my mind chose to dwell on the "death" part of life, instead of the celebration of life itself.  In the past few years I have been, unfortunately, widowed... twice.   The good fortune of this:  I had found true love
