It's Been A Long Time

Despite my best intentions to stay focused, follow-through, and keep on-target, here I am...the entire spring season has passed with only a single post and, suddenly, I feel like I've just awakened in the hot days of summer!


So much has happened since my last post (dated 4/1/25) that I won't even attempt to catch up. For today it is enough to just drop in, say 'hello', and see if anyone is even still out there. I sure hope so and I do apologize for my inconsistency. It tends to be an ongoing problem and one that I am determined to correct...somehow! 🙄

How's everyone out there in blogland doing? I pray that all is well with you and your family and that you are greatly enjoying the summer season in all its beauty!



I used to hate summer, but don't seem to mind it so much anymore. In fact, I find that there are certain aspects of summer that I actually embrace and enjoy now. I still don't like the heat, but I also don't like the cold of winter anymore, either, like I used to, so go figure...eh? 

Anyway...

So what's everyone been up to? Here I've pretty much been doing the same ol' same ol' with a lot of extra stuff loaded up on top of it.



I'm still at the park and am still working hard to get my Mary Kay business off the ground and built. I've actually not done too bad with it. I've earned my Red Jacket Hall of Fame and am headed to Seminar next month...which is both exciting and very scary!



I'm still working on health and healing (spirit, soul, and body) and still struggle with grief at times (John will have been gone four years come July 10th), BUT I am learning to overcome on multiple levels. Some days are definitely worse than others, but, overall, I think I'm doing okay. Some days I do wonder though! Most days I feel like I'm 63 going on 16; some days it's ridiculous! 🙄

Today promises to be busy and I need to get going, but, I wanted to drop in and say hello. I have much on my mind and definitely need to get back on (and stay on) track. In the past consistant blogging has helped with that by putting everything in writing and making myself somewhat accountable to others. 

I do hope to be with you again very soon. Please drop me a note in the comments below just letting me that you're still here. I would love to hear from you and perhaps we can share our summer adventures together! 

Until next time...

  2. I just found your blog today. I was searching Google for a plate I found at a thrift store today and you had one posted back in 2019. It’s a cute plate with a bird on it.

  3. Glad to see an update. I am lacking on my blog, but mostly lack of motivation. Not sure it's even interesting to anyone anymore. Glad to hear your summer is going very well.

    1. Hey, Kristina! It's great to see you here! I'll be honest...I haven't visited anybody's blog in so long. I understand the lack of motivation, and I'm sure that there are many people are interested in what you share, but we're just in such a weird time. Something seems to have shifted and everything is just different. Do you feel like that, too, or is it just me? Either way, I'm so glad to have caught up with you a bit and I will head over to your blog as soon as I get done here and see what's happening in your world. God bless you, my friend!

  4. Hello lovely Friend! So fun to see a post and hello from you. Prayers and hugs to you regarding your continued grief. It is such a process. But I know you know whose hands you're in and that He's loving and guiding you through. I've been loving these summer days and feel like it's flying by already! Wishing you many blessings for the holiday weekend ahead. xoxo

    1. Hey, Carrie! It's great to see you here! Thank you for the prayers and hugs. I realize that I'm not (nor is anyone else) going through anything that hasn't first been filtered through the Lord's fingers and He knows. I have to remind myself of that all the time. He knows what's best for me, even when I can't see it and I have to trust Him. I agree that the summer is already flying by. It's crazy! Thanks, again, and have a wonderful holiday weekend! Blessings, my friend!

  6. I'm still here. It was good to see you even if for a few moments. My husband commented on how nice you look. He thinks you look younger.
    That's always nice to hear, isn't it?
    Be blessed my friend,
    Laura

    1. I'm glad you're still here, Laura, and, yes, it was wonderful seeing you, too, as you say, even if only for a few moments. I can't wait until we can get together and really get caught up. Tell your husband thank you and, yes, looking younger is always nice to hear. He said he didn't even recognize me. I think that's a good thing! God bless you, Laura! Let's get together soon!
