Great Works

Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever. Psalms 111:2-3

That was a really high wind and rain horror the night before last. It shook the building I am living in. Here in southern NH I am doing ok now. I think it is all done. We had some rain all day yesterday. It is humid out. Warm! We had a thunder/lightning storm late last night and that was the end of the bad weather.

Happy Halloween!

 

My prayers and thoughts are with all the other people from all over other places in the world, states other parts of this country and the state of NH that were affected by this really bad storm. Many people don't have power. Some people don't even have a home. I am so grateful I do! May God shed thy grace on thee! Praise Him!

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that today you have a cause for celebration.

Today, you should celebrate what an unbelievable life you have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make you stronger. Just as a gem cannot be polished without friction, nor can a life be perfected without trials. Take a time to acknowledge your life and to praise yourself.

 

I will!

God's Grace on Thee Protection in a Massive Storm Sandy

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. Ephesians 6:24
 

Hurricane Sandy is upon us now. The winds are howling through where I live here in southern NH. Rain is pelting the windows. It whips up stays sustained for awhile and then it will stop and get quiet. There is this metal siding piece that is loose that will start thrashing around. I called the landlord about that already. They didn't fix it. Nice and loud. We just had some power surges big ones so as I blog my experience I may get interrupted and when I get electricity back I will be back.

May God watch over all of us!

It has been very windy for over 3 hours now. The electricity threatened to go down and the internet is getting interrupted now at 6:30 PM Please protect all of us north to south in this monstrous storm. My bedroom is on the second floor outside corner no protection. I was lying in my bed and it was shaking so were some plants too in front of the window. So I returned to the center of the apartment to blog about that. It was an unpleasant feeling. I feel better now that I am away from the upper outside corner of this church building I live in.

God's Love

God, your love is so precious! You protect people in the shadow of your wings. Psalms 36:7

He loves me and I Him!

Please protect and watch over all God during this monster storm Sandy.

I have been through hurricanes and noreasters living in FL and New England respectively. Going through both at one time is a horrible thought suddenly. I am starting to seriously think preparations. Start with a list. I made a list to work on for the next couple of days to be better prepared. I even have a battery powered weather radio from living in FL. One hurricane in FL left me without electricity for about two weeks. It was so hot and miserable. We are very warm right now in the high 60's during the days. I was standing outside in bare feet with shorts on today.

Yes thank you God for all I have!

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that it's time to STOP going through the motions of living, and START living.

Are you willing to do that now? Or are you going to wait until all life energy drains out of you and your loved ones who are trying to support you at this very moment? You were not born to follow rules and regulations. Living starts with dreaming. So dream, dream friend, and let dreams show you the path to your bliss.

Stormy Days are Coming

This is just so cute! I know it isn't winter yet I had to share it. Check out www.dreamstime.com

God makes people right with himself through their faith in Jesus Christ. This is true for all who believe in Christ, because all people are the same. Romans 3:22

I am so deeply saddened to read this. Please Lord comfort thy families and friends of those who have passed away from this storm. May there be no more!

http://news.msn.com/us/death-toll-hits-22-as-sandy-heads-for-us

I live in southern NH I am now wondering what may happen to us?

http://t.news.msn.com/us/odds-frankenstorm-will-pound-east-coast-increasing

The track for now looks like it will go right into PA! This is not good. Pray! I know a few people who live there. I hope and pray they will be safe. They should be making all sort of preparations right now. I will be doing so tomorrow.

Today I am making a felt pumpkin card for my grandsons for Halloween. I will mail it to them and make it all special with some stickers in it. It looks like I only have enough orange felt to make one card. That is ok it will be fun for them.

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that you've been missing out on delight that God has sent your way.

Think back over the last day, - what could you have taken with delight that you just skipped over?

 

Honestly off the top of my head the greatest thing that happened to me was a conversation I had with someone about their drinking problem.... and they told me they stopped drinking. I am not holding my breath on that but still praying for them. I did sort of skip over the issue but was delighted to hear it. All the while keeping in the back of mind of many a broken promise from someone who has a disease.

Our Father Who is in Heaven

Look into your heart and forgive someone who wronged you. Feel the weight lift off your shoulders and know you are free to receive God's blessings. "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive them, that your Father in Heaven may also forgive you your trespasses." Mark 11:25

Forgiven!

Thanks to a late night last night I was up playing Scrabble and looking for my Christmas things. I am getting a late start today I slept until 11:30 AM I still haven't located my Christmas kit of new decorations to make. I wish I had a craft room that way I could get everything out of the totes they are in to organize it all. I am grateful for what I do have. A comfortable place on the smallish side.

Thank you for today God! Today is a beautiful day here in southern NH! I am keeping my eye on Hurricane Sandy. We could really get it with some snow. It might be a really bad storm. They are calling it a Noreaster on steroids and could do some billion dollars worth of damage. I am praying for everyone to be safe and not have problems. One loss of life already in Jamaica is one too many. Lord may you comfort thy family and friends please.

http://news.yahoo.com/hybrid-sandy-winter-storm-threatens-east-coast-064040714.html

Today I will spend organizing my totes better so I can find what I am looking for. My cardmaking and scrapbooking supplies are organized so why not everything else. I finally got my felt back out to make some cute felt decorations.

A bit of history from NH via the subject of possible haunted places for Halloween!

The Madame Sherri's Forest I saw this on Facebook today. It was a picture of a stone spiral staircase in ruins. Sounds like a great place to visit via hiking and there are waterfalls there too.

Halloween Treats

http://www.delish.com/entertaining-ideas/holidays/halloween/halloween-desserts#slide-1


Let us pray: Heavenly Father, we thank you for another day filled with your love and grace. We ask that you would help us to forgive those who have caused us hurt and pain. Heal our broken hearts and restore the joy. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!

I miss my grandsons I hope I get to see them soon.
Also praying their Halloween doesn't get snowed out this year.
 Last year we had snow here for Halloween.


God is the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that understanding comes from love.

You might believe that you need to understand another to love them. The truth is you need to love them to understand them.

Our Protector God

God is our protection and our strength. He always helps in times of trouble. Psalms 46:1

Thank you God~

I am blessed and grateful~

You know it is Fall when you have beef stew for lunch. Even if it was from a can I added a handful of frozen peas to it before I warmed it up. Yummy and warm. It was 48 out today and was sunny. Now it is cloudy!

Today I made an owl card for a friends birthday in the first week of November. I have a couple more November birthday cards to make and then I am on to making Christmas cards. Plus I want to try out making some more ribbon pinecones to give as gifts for Christmas. Tonight I am making a large roast chicken with potatos and carrots in my turkey roaster. Times are lean food wise. I don't have all the proper fixings like stuffing and gravy but I will make do with what I have. We will have lots of leftovers. Tomorrow night I am going out to the club to watch pool playing.

I am finally feeling better from the Paxil withdrawals. The scratchy/zappy sound in my head is gone. Yesterday my back and left hip hurt so bad I had to take a narcotic pill twice. Today it still hurts some but not enough for medecine.

Lots of praying and bible reading will be what I do this afternoon! I have finished all of my Scrabble games and online correspondence for the day. I would look for more supplies for pinecone ribbons but I don't want to push things with my back and hip the way it was yesterday.

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that to worship God you must go beyond words to speak with your heart.

You can mouth the words of a prayer all day long and just waste your time, unless you also speak with your heart. And to speak with your heart means to embody first. If you pray for love, be loving. If you pray for wealth, be generous. If you pray for health, practice health yourself. What is your favorite prayer? How can you begin to embody it?

Where ever you are I hope you have a wonder filled blessed day!

Making Bows

God does not see the same way people see. People look at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 

Today I am working on making a bow for my ribbon pinecone decoration. I located my ribbon here in my stash. I ironed it on low. I also watched some great tutorials on bow making. Here are a couple I will share with you.

 

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDcvdYQWOaw

 

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=gNwLVZc_VN4&NR=1


Oh and for making the ribbon pinecones themselves here are a couple of instructionals.

 http://www.craftsy.com/project/view/ribbon-pinecone-ornament/28196

This first link you have to join I like the picture they show. Also my ribbon pinecones were not made with styrofoam eggs rather a 4 to 5 inch stryofoam ball works just as well too.

I like this tutorial as well.

http://whipup.net/2007/10/09/tutorial-ribbon-pinecone-ornament/
 

I think to secure the bow to my ribbon pinecone rather than use a pipecleaner I am going to use a hat pin and pin a loop of ribbon for which it to hang by. The bow is pinned down to the ribbon pinecone and should be secure. It turned out so nice.

 

 

 

I am so happy I learned somehing new! This is going to be fun making these. First I do need some supplies though!


On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... wealth does not come from your bank account, wealth comes from the depth of your heart.

What you really want is happiness. You might believe that a fat bank account will get you there, but that's false. Happy people are happy rich or poor, unhappy people are unhappy rich or poor. Money simply masks your real being by giving you activities to occupy your mind. Don't fool yourself, recession or not, your true wealth comes from your heart and is always only there.

 

Thanks for the reminder! I have so much to be grateful for!

For the Love of Pinecones

God did not give us a spirit that makes us afraid but a spirit of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7
 

I received these lovely ribbon pinecone ornaments today as I had won them on Listia. I wasn't expecting a nice long two page note and the personal phone number from the maker plus supplies to start making my first one though. She even started it for me. These are so neat! I sure do hope I can figure it out. It doesn't look too hard. The end result is wonderful! You could use them year round hanging in your home, in a basket or on your Christmas tree. I think I might be hooked on making these if my fingers will work to do this. In her notes she said you can leave the bow off the top if you are arranging these in a basket. It looks like quilting and looks sewn when finished but it isn't. You fold cut and pin the wide ribbon onto a styrofoam ball. Love it!

Ribbon pinecone ornaments


 

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that silence is golden.

When we are quiet, we can hear God's messages to us. Sometimes these messages may be in the form of subtle intuition. Sometimes it may feel like an inner knowing. Sometimes we may hear a 'still, small voice.' If it feels right in your heart, trust that it is God speaking to you.

I love you!

Playful With Work

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Philippians 1:6

   

Today is Sunday. No work today! Actually I do get to play because I don't work. Not enough playing all summer long. Now that the withdrawals from Paxil have subsided so much I have started to feel better. More playful. This means exercise for me. I need to get out and walk and enjoy life. Smile at people. I always think to myself how they have been blessed by me smiling at them. It makes me feel good too!

 

My dear friend Charlene from LA sent me a big box of goodies. I opened it yesterday. There is plenty of new stuff to play with in it. I am excited to start Monday and play. Today is her birthday. Today is also my son's sixth wedding anniversary. I hope he and my DIL have fun today and tonight. Whatever their plans are I do not know.

 

I am so happy I already took pictures of the trees around here. They are almost stripped bare from the wind today. Fall is so beautiful! I love this close up shot I took of the wet fallen leaves.

 

Fall 2012 after a good rain

I need to go through the big box of goodies and put things away today. There is a bunch of Bob Marley and Beatles things like stickers, note cards, pencils and sticky notes. Nostalgia! I don't quite know what to do with all of that. I love it though. When I looked through all of it again I found some neat things to share for Christmas and put in stockings for my Christian lady friends. I have Thanksgiving cards now too. Next year I want to try to make my own Thanksgiving cards. I wasn't ready this year. I think I have come full circle though in one year now and for each holiday and birthdays I am now prepared to make my own cards. That would save me money!

 

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that work begins when you don't like what you are doing.

Little children can do the most amazing things with such joy and fun. You were little once too, and knew how to turn everything into a game. So, turn your work into a game, and you will find joy and satisfaction in it. What are some ways you can start being playful with work?

Don't Give Up

God still has more in store for you. I know you've been waiting, you've been trusting, you've been trying to hold on. Don't give up. He says, "Be still and know that I am God." Psalms 46:10

Don't ever give up! There is hope! Thank you for today!

Today is another rainy gloomy day. I have to go to the PO streetbox today to send off a handful of mail today. I am sure I will need pants and a jacket as it has been cool 50's here lately. Here is southern NH.

I am going to make a couple  more Fall cards today to send out to family and friends. That is if I have the energy. I was looking through my Christmas/winter card making supplies last night. I have no cardstock. So it looks like I will need to make my own. Actually I should probably wait on card making a friend said she is mailing me some die cuts and that I should have them tomorrow. I want to see what I get. Something may help me with cardmaking. She has been cardmaking since 2000.

I don't have any plans today. Other than the usual household chores dishes and laundry. I finished up my swaps that are due this morning and had an early lunch. I went back outside and even though it was still mostly cloudy I took some more Fall 2012 pictures. I think I got some great ones. Enjoy Fall New England style these are maples and an oak. This oak is changing last it is turning yellow still a lot of green though.



Fall 2012 Red Maple (very old)

I am still not feeling well in the tummy that started up again yesterday evening. I attribute it to the Paxil withdrawals. I am now at 14 days off of the Paxil. My head was still zappy/scratchy pretty bad last night.

I am going to take a nap! I need to go lie down. It is 2 PM and normal for me to have to take a rest break. My chores can wait!

Where ever you are have a wonder filled weekend ahead!

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that your unspoken prayers will be answered.

Yes, God knows you, God hears you, God loves you, God is there for you. You are blessed.

 

I really needed to hear this! Thank you God!

Loving God

Gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:23
 

Today is a beautiful bright blue skies sunny day here in southern NH. At 11:30 AM EST it is now 49 degrees. No wind today! I will get out today and enjoy it while it lasts. Weather predictions are for rain over the weekend. That means a lot more leaves will fall. Trees will be stripped of their beautiful foliage by the winds and rain. Seize the moment today!

I just won these cute handmade shell angel decorations on Listia the other day. I thought I would share a picture of them with you. I want to make some. I have 99% of the supplies to do so! There are actually 4 but I am keeping a second blue one for a pattern and sharing the rest of them for Christmas! These are heavy big shells and the darling angels measure 5" from top of their heads to bottom of the shells.

Handmade angels 2012  https://www.listia.com/signup/256628 I got these for free!

I am doing a prewinter dust busting of this place. It will take days. I took down my faux spider plant loaded with dust! Washed it in the shower. It is hanging to dry. I am leaving it down. I have a high nook here and I have decided to redecorate a bit. So that plant is going into storage when it is dry.  Although many people have asked if it is real. I am up for a change a new look around here.
 

I am making egg salad for lunch. The eggs are chilling. Then on to more fun things via the internet I love to read. Creating some cards! I have to make my own cardstock. Pure white for Christmas. Decorations front and back. I have a nice Handmade By rubber stamp that I use on the back of my paper creations. I need to get a couple more real stockings then start filling them for my friends for Christmas. I have been getting things all year long for family and friends through Listia for free. I used to pay for shipping. I don't do that anymore unless it is something I really really really want.

This is a good article I found today about eating mood boosting foods. Instead of reaching for a pill.

I am feeling so much better today. I noticed it some yesterday afternoon and evening too. The Paxil withdrawals are lessening for me. Praise Him! What a bugger to go through all that. It really was bad! It makes me not trust antidepressants at all. I want nothing more than to try anything but more pills. My nerves are less frayed today than yesterday since the earthquake that hit here. I know God loves me and everyone and he protected us from what could have been a huge disaster. Oh dear God please don't let that happen again. Thank you for today! 

 

The truth is I love God! He is mine and I am His!

 

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that there are many truths, and they all point to one source - God.

Do not spend energy arguing whose truth is righter, - just like all life springs forth from one source, so are all truths but a reflection of God. Accept another truth as another way of loving God.

Just for Today

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You. Psalms 5:4

We just had a huge earthquake here tonight.where I live in NH. I pray dear God please don't ever let that happen again. It originated in Maine and shook all of NH and northern MA. It was a 4.5 on the richeter scale It felt like violent solid shaking I couldn't move I was pinned in my office chair shaking. Very scray! I have been through earthquakes out west and they have a more rolling feeling to them. This was different! Not this time! Pure hard shaking! I pray everyone and everything is ok!

 

I got a neat book that I won on Listia in the mail today. It is Dover Publication from 1980 on flowers! Everything is black and white designs. All 300 some odd pieces of clip art copyright free. There is garland, tags, circles, borders, tags, frames and more all in flowers!

 

Here are some pictures I took of the inside of this book. I am going to have so much creating with this. I first need to make copies before I use it. I don't want to cut up this book. It is vintage!

 

  

 

I am so excited to have this book. Praise Him for the good things in life!

 

I had a horrible night last night I forgot to take my meds and I didn't realize it until this morning. Tomorrow I will be more creative and crafty. God thank you for today!

 

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that working together is good.

We are meant to support one another in this world. Let go of the feeling that you have to do everything alone. Ask someone if they want to join you.

Grateful for Moments

For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Luke 14:11

Be grateful in the moment. Don’t beat yourself up for not knowing the answers. You don’t always have to know who you are. You don’t have to have the big picture, or know where you’re heading. Sometimes, it’s enough just to know what you’re going to do next.

It is 58 currently this morning. Todays temperatures here in Southern NH will be 70 to 50 with thunderstorms. I was wondering why I was so achy last night. It rained overnight. Now that I am at my most achiness today will be a breeze HA! I suffer from chronic pain. I have a spinal cord stimulator implanted in me to help cover up pain from RSD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_stimulator

I have two discs in my neck that are ruptured and can not be surgically repaired. I have had a spinal cord stimulator since 2007 that would be five years now I don't know how I could possibly live the other way I would be doped up. The pain from RSD which I have full upper body now is the most severe pain that one experiences.

http://www.rsdfoundation.org/

If only one person reads this and it helps them or their loved one or friend I would be so humbled and grateful. They have spinal cord stimulators for back pain too that I don't know about. Yes I do have back pain I have all over pain I have fibromyalgia.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001463/

Sometimes I feel so bad it feels like my hair hurts. Now I know that is impossible but I am not exaggerating.

Today I am grateful to be alive live near my sons and grandsons. I saw them 3 times last week. I am so grateful and blessed to have gifts from Him. Praise be to Him!

Today I am either working on scrap books or making cards. I haven't decided which I have the energy for. Scrapbooking is big and easy and cardmaking is smaller and more detail oriented. I feel well rested this morning at 7 AM EST though my ears are ringing horribly. It is most annoying. I just read in last months' Reader's Digest magazine that a German company has come up with a machine to disrupt the ringing I guess basically to turn it off. They are looking for a United States partner. Oh that would be such a relief. I would so love to be in that moment! To experience that!

A friend of mine visited FL recently and she sent me this wonderful postcard about the sand dollar. I learned some things about the sand dollar that I never knew.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_dollar

On the postcard it describes the biblical nature of a sand dollar. The inside has 5 little doves of peace. It is called the holy shell and symbolizes the life of Jesus.

Ove the weekend I decided it would be fun to create this ACEO of a raccoon face on a pumpkin. I am still working on it. Here is a picture of what I have drawn in ink so far. I will finish it today and add it to my collection of small art pieces.

Where ever you are I hope today is wonder filled for you!

Confidence Just for Today

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

I am on day 7 of  complete Paxil withdrawal. It gets really rough feeling every afternoon and early evening. My head feels like it is going to explode and I just have to lay down and want to go to sleep. No nap today I didn't have a nap yesterday neither. I laid down because of how I was feeling but I didn't fall asleep. I am really having a rough go at withdrawing from Paxil but my body was used to 50 mg daily for many months and before that 40 mg for years. It is an antidepressant. Well a not so good antidepressant and the withdrawals from it are unbelievable. I am hit with overwhelming anxiety attacks the likes of which are extremely scary. Lots of crying episodes for no reason at all Have very intense emotional feelings. The ringing in my ears is ten fold with awful stomach sickening nauseating scratchy/zappy sounds that interrupt the intense ringing. I know I am getting better but I am starting to feel like not going outside and that is where confidence comes in. I did it before I can do it now. I have to carry on. Life goes on.

I hope this cat saying made you laugh! I like it!

So today was a grey gloomy rainy depressing day!

I hope and pray next week things get better for me. May the withdrawals subside even more. Praise Him for being there those times when I really needed Him and I take comfort in knowing He is always right there with me. Thank you!

Next to a French bulldog I would love to have a cat! Then again maybe two~I am not allowed to have pets where I live.

I am so grateful I saw my grandsons three times in the last seven days! That is something else to smile about.

Wherever you are I wish you a wonder filled week ahead~

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that there are no accidents.

What you think of as accidents are simply your conversations with God that you haven't yet been able to understand. But take heart, all happens in God's will and every conversation has deep meaning for you.

The Lord Looks at Your Heart

For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7

Brrr it is cold today 54 with 9 MPH winds. I took some pictures earlier of the 3 Maples. They still have a ways to go. The red is so rich. The orange is almost there and the yellow in front is slow This is Fall in New England today is 10/11/12

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that you can

echo your past, or the glory of your future.

Past is connected to future through the present.
At this very moment, at every moment,

you are choosing to carry on the past with
all its troubles on your shoulders, OR to let
it go and see bright future pull you forward. Choose wisely.

 

 

 

What it is Tuesday?

Father, we ask that you would give us your peace as we go through the stress of life. "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul." Psalms 23:2-3

Happiness Matters! This is a picture of the postcard I am sending for a postcard swap called Happiness Matters that I am in at www.swap-bot.com

Happiness matters a lot to me. Thank you for today God and also thanks for prayers answered in the bullying situation which I previously blogged about recently. All the better for the outcome the 4 year old male child was removed from the school. There is zero tolerance for that these days no matter how old you are.

Presidential Relationships Through the Years

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_relationships_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that there is no need to obsess over a decision.

God has more in store for us than we can ever predict, and what we fear are bad choices frequently turn out for the best, because our hidden aspirations know better where we are going than our rational minds.

 

Oh I like that!

Happy Birthday Christopher!

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
 

It is another cold and rainy day again. This is a wettest and most rainy Fall so far in my six years living up in New England!

Today is my son Christopher's 35th birthday. Yesterday I spent the afternoon with him, his brother and my my two grandsons. I got the two year old going so I will share some pictures here of him. I said to him how did you get so cute and do you know you are cute, you know you are cute and he would say Yes Yes Yes He says yes alot right now. He was eating his supper and offering me his french fries. I took pictures of my other grandson his brother who is 4 years old and I am so disappointed I got really bad red eye pictures. So they didn't turn out good at all. Here is the little guy though.

Love those big beautiful blue eyes. My other grandson has blue eyes and so do Mom and Dad!

Today is Christopher Columbus Day~a holiday for some.  It happens to be a day when I was very young 18 years old and I gave birth to my first son Christopher. That was thirty five years ago today.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus

I am doing ok today so far on no Paxil I have been waiting a long time to say this I am not taking any Paxil anymore today is day one. Woot! I noticed the scratchy/zappy sound in my head and really bad ringing ears today. I hope I am done with the withdrawals and pray God please let my body adjust ok and quickly. I want this to be it and be done with the medecine. I know you hear me God. Thank you for today!

We got snow in the mountains last night. It is cold! 43 and I am staying in! I will find some fun things to do actually I am trying to organize my Christmas card making supplies so that is going to be my extra project for now. You set a goal. My big goal is to be ready for Christmas! Small projects well first I have to locate all of my Christmas supplies. They are in 3 drawers and it is never a problem to find everything and separate it out. I started in Spring! Here it is Fall/Winter 2012 it is a chilly day I sure can feel it. I wasn't wanting to turn on the heat yet. Feels like I need to put on some more clothing ie pants instead of shorts. Brrrr I stepped out in the hallway it is very cold outside LOL

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that if you could see with the eyes of God, this world would be filled with goodness.

Goodness is within you and every living being. Let your goodness shine
