I Guess I Must Like Taking My Time

I'm back, that is at least for today!

I have been inspired this week to finally ,start back on my thoughts. The other day I was given a book by a friend, his friend wrote it. The book contains the random thought of this man who likes to inspire people to get their life going in a positive direction. My friend did not give it to me because he thought I needed that, in fact I hardly knew him, but his name was mentioned in the book and he wanted me to have a copy. The thoughts are honestly him rambling on about just about anything and although I don't agree with everything he is saying there were a few valid points of view that stood out. The main one being, "do something" make a plan for your day, your week. And I quote "Keep busy, jam your day with appointments talking to strangers and you will always have a growing client base." This particular quote was obviously directed to someone with a company but it is still inspiring to anyone or at least it can be. Another quote I liked was about de-cluttering aspects of your life. "Start small and watch as your life slowly gains direction and clarity. With clarity, you are free to move on to some the more pressing issues we face as humans." "Get up, get out and live." Great advice, I did major de-cluttering a year ago when I sold our family home and moved into a two bedroom condo. Everything has been minimalized and very organized although that has never been a big issue for me because staying organized was the one way I had any control over my hectic life. Now the hectic is all gone and I am left with a small tidy condo looking for a purpose but mainly looking for someone to share the rest of my days with. But I will save that topic for another day. For now, I have been inspired to put my thoughts down once again and it feels good.

The Introduction

-
Have you ever had an internal voice? No not the same as hearing voices. It's like an internal conversation with yourself. I first notice that I had this when I was a young girl watching the Walton's. Remember the one when John Boy said "Mama, sometime I just have to write". It was at this time the I realize I had to do what John Boy did, keep a notebook by the bed. I make list all the time and when something profound pops in my head I have to write it down, if I won't it will just stay there till I write it. I always have a need to figure out, WHY??? Why people do what they do is a big one. I also try to solve things. A strong faith is another part of who I am. I am in no saying that Iam perfect or a holy roller. I just have a real need to keep learning more of what the bible has to teach me. I know I will be a better more loving person by having this knowledge. I have had many trials in my life and I will share more as I go, it is going to take some ...

Creating My Backyard Bird Sanctuary

-
 Sitting on the screened in porch on my deck watching many cardinals.  This started my summer project  of my  backyard bird sanctuary.  Which then took on a like of its own. I proceeded to cut Back many weeds and honeysuckle bushes to clear a huge area, I then sprayed poison ivy and many other ground coverings. I then went to the local garden store purchased a cardinal bird feeder, gathered my St. Francis statue that I had stored at my daughter's home.  I then saw my vision coming to life. My next purchase was a garden bench and a bird bath.  I hung another bird feeder.  I was seeing all minds of animal activities, birds of all kinds but speed of  cardinals.  Of course many squirrels, a fox on a chipmonk which I save from being eaten when I opened the door. But it was the deer family who hugely entertained me.  The deer were bucks with eight points,  a momma and two spotted babies.  I started placing pavers in the dirt whi...

If This Isn't a Sign...

-
When I was in third grade and attending Catholic School, I had a nun for my teacher. She use to always tell great stories about prayer, I loved to hear her stories. They always stuck with me along with her way of praying. She believed in signs and that was how she knew her prayers were answered. She also told us that when ever she heard an ambulance she would say a "Hail Mary"; I have done that since third grade. I have planted alot of things in my yard and gardens and on the back hill I have a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary that leads to my gazabo. Many years ago I planted many daffodils and some tulips. The daffodils came up very plentiful but to my disappointment only one red tulip would come up and bloom, year after year, the one red tulip. I always thought of this tulip as a sign that my brother Mark was okay with the Lord up in Heaven. Mark died back in 1979, in a tradgic car accident. Last year I swear I only remember the one tulip blooming. Well, I know ...
