It was difficult to get a good picture without any glare, but I think when you see the real thing you'll like it.

How do you write about yourself

Today I received a request from my church to write a column about myself and my faith journey. I have no idea how to do this. I'm just not good at talking or writing about myself, especially about my faith. Lately I feel disconected with God. So how do I write something that will inspire people? I don't know. I said I would do it for one reason only. They will help me do a drive for Bears and Blankets. And I would do anything to help us get donations for this project.

So I'll post the column that I write in the next couple of weeks.

Peanut singing

Peanut singing "the Dusty Road". She loves that song.

Festivus Tree

Here it is, the Festivus tree. Festivus is for the rest of us. It is a time when you get your friends and family together to tell them how much they have disappointed you throughout the year.

Cold weather

The one thing I really enjoy when the weather gets cold, is lighting candles in the apartment. This is my favorite candle holder. I think Saturday night, I'll light candles, maybe turn on the purple power flower lamp and have some nice red wine and relax.

A stressful week

This week was stressful. Even though I took 2 days off from work and spent some time at the ocean, it was when I returned home that the stress began. A good friend of mine called me on Tuesday and she was in the hospital. She was told she had to have a quadrupal bi-pass surgery the next day. I was in shock. I've known her for 15 years and she's been a good friend at work and shes someone who will always make you smile.
My reaction was anger. I didn't want her to go through this. People at work kept asking me questions, and I didn't want to talk about it. I guess I felt if we didn't talk about it, then maybe it wasn't real. Today her husband stopped by work to pick up insurance forms and I met him in the parking lot and we talked. He was in tears as he talked about her and how strong she was through the whole process. I'm happy to say she is better today and hopefully she'll be home early next week. I still don't want to talk to people about it. I don't understand that part of me, but it is what it is.
