I find more and more, that when I attempt to make my own decisions, I make mistakes. Even when I ask for God's guidance, I do not actually hear His answer in all matters...and I plow through life haphazardly...zig zagging on a path of my own making...But I do eventually learn from these mistakes.....Which may actually be God's plan all along...Hmmmmmm. I'll have to think and pray on that revelation.

It's Monday...again. Did not get much sleep...stayed up reading a good book...watched 2 movies and saw the sun come up this morning....Took a 4 hr nap and will have to get another one later this evening...My brain and body require this of me.

Everyone have a most Awesome week....So excited about Discover Point's second service!!! God showed up and Lead the way...SO proud of everyone.....Know God was and is Smiling.....Keep Blessing all of those you come in contact with....Smile from the inside out.....Visit the Cross daily.....Share GOD's Love and His Joy.....Later......

Ciccada's are making their yearly racket this morning....Is that the essence of the coming death? Hmmm...poetic, huh? My allergies are kicking up something fierce....Like a broken faucet....

Alot of different things awakening this day....feels a little like fall...not quite ready to show up.....but what is to come....soon I can only hope. Probably just a little less humid, that's all...

Laundry to do....Fun.... Coffee is done. Going to enjoy a cup, study Proverbs 14 today....Ponder the day....

Everyone have a great and awesome day....Enjoy spending time with family and loved ones....Stay focused, Keeping Blessing those around you.... Smile from the inside out....Later....

Another day....More sunshine, warmer...a lot like summer is supposed to be...not the moldy, wet, damp, overcast days of these weeks past....

Got to work last night, a co-worker called to ask me to take her place, since the census was too low to allow 4 nurses on the floor....Hopefully I will make a full week, without using any PAL time....(personal accrued leave= vacation time).

Please Place my Sister Sue on your prayer lists....She tripped on a treadmill at a local Wellness Center yesterday... and freaky-like, broke her left shoulder in 2 different places.... She has some different kind of health issues, suffers with Lupus...and just recovered, slightly from a car wreck a few weeks ago....She is wondering and pondering on what God would like for her to learn at this time....But she, and I especially, would appreciate your prayers for her recovery and her discovery....Pray for husband Jim too, he will have to take up the slack and help drive her around until she gets clearance from the the physicians....The man has the patience of Job.....Also, pray for the loan application for my re-financing for my house...the process has slowed down a bit....nothing to worry about...just slow going at this time....

Everyone enjoy this gorgeous day.....For it was created by God, for our pleasure and our environment is important to Him...our well being is important to Him...we are important to Him....Because we belong to Him....How grateful I am for that fact....For without God in myLife I would still be lost....thinking, foolishly, that I had everything I needed...I knew everything...and I didn't need anyone to help me or be on my side... I was in control....HA HA...I took care of everything....Ms independent....LOL..See I keep telling you all that God does have a great sense of humor....I see it every waking moment....And because I am getting wise in my old age....I can laugh along with Him....Everyone stay focused....Love to all...Later.... Keep smiling..... 

Whew!!! Survived first night back....Not to shabby...slow, uneventful...Patient's all behaved and survived. Wore a new pair of my lime green Crocs to work...lovely, felt like I was walking on feathers...pretty good, since when I got to work, there was a torential downpour and I had to literally swim in....I was soaked all the way up to my knees...so I squished around for most of the night...socks never did dry out! Feet were a little pruney looking...guess I will have to keep an extra pair of socks in my bag...(hmmm, good idea....) If the census stays where it is, I will probably be off tonight...lucky me, be off for 2 weeks, work one night and then be off...crazy, huh??!! Our friend Charles is leaving the complex at the end of this week...SO SAD!!!! He is one of the best Supervisors and nurses we have...but since he graduated, he has an opportunity to go to Coliseum....stretch his wings and fly into new territory...Hope they appreciate him...cuz' we could have kept him, if only someone would have made the perverbial offer and realized what we are losing...Oh well...Praying for him in his new position...and praying for us, with whoever they attempt to replace him with....Going to throwdown a party, of sorts on Wednesday night...bringing all kinds of goodies...cake and ice cream...getting him a going away gift....

Today is my youngest neice, Jill's birthday...I remember her birth...I was staying with my sister and her husband in Falls Church, VA the summer of 1972....She was born at Bethesda Naval Hospital early in the morning...I was taking care of big sister Jann, who was not yet 3 yrs old. Lord, I feel so  old......Jill is such a special young lady...tells it like it is...a wonderful advocate for all children, especially those underpriveledged and mentally or physcally handicapped....She teaches Special Education, in a City school....very Urban....She gets an education on a daily basis. She's teaching the Autistic class this year and is so excited about it....She is one of God's angels on this earth...a little rough around the wings and halo, but nevertheless, still an angel!
