GERITOL!

 Amazon is on its way!  Someone at Amazon decided my order needed to be rushed between 4am and 8am.  They must've looked at my profile and said this gal needs this stuff ASAP!  I can see them flying by other cars, passing everyone in front of them, and honking at slow pokes. My order is anti-aging potion, or maybe some sort of B complex LOL.  It is supposed to however, give me energy, help me recover better from workouts (woohoo), boost my longevity and help me get more done in a day! (their words not mine lol)  (Whew)  Remember Geritol?  I think it's just a new version of Geritol!!!  I can't wait to get it for my new season of life. (And yes, you can still get Geritol!  It comes in the nasty tasting liquid or pill form LOL) I have watched my grandsons parttime since 2018. That has been my assignment that God gave me for the past 7 years.  He has blessed me with memories and sweet times together that I will cherish forever.  In...

Another Birthday Shenanigan

My dad's birthday was Tuesday.  Jerry and I and my brother went to visit him in the nursing home and tell him happy birthday.  I walked in and said "Happy 97th birthday!".  He said "I'm 98" and I said "no dad, you were born in 1928 so you're 97".  He was very adamant about being 98.  So I decided when you're 90 anything, you can have what you want (and you don't argue with my dad because you won't win!) He's 98 this year and next.  (smile) We were sitting in the lobby talking to him and he said something we couldn't understand. The he turned and wheeled off in his wheelchair with us sitting there.  We all three just looked at each with shocked looks on our faces. "Did he just leave?"  my brother asked.  "He's never done that before".  "I'm not sure where he went"  I said.  "Should we leave or sit here?"  We got a little tickled about it.  Maybe he needed a nap.  Maybe he just d...

A NEW THING!

  I get excited about new things.  A new flower popping up.  A new sunrise with no rain!  A new song on my playlist. A new chocolate treat!  A new friend.  A new person coming to class.  God loves new things too.  This morning, this was my scripture in Isaiah 42: "I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness.   I will also hold you by the hand and watch over you.   Behold, the  former things have come to pass .  Now I declare new things.  Before they spring forth, I declare them to you."   There is a prerequisite to new things.  You have to let the former things pass to receive new things.  They have come to pass not stay forever.  It may be grief, regret, unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness.  Whatever has put its feet up in your life and made itself comfortable.  It's time to let it pass.   I think at this stage, we all deal with grief in some way.  Grief over outco...
