Life is Good

-

 Hi All,

I have no Earth shattering news, which I for one find to be good news.  What do they say? "No news is good news.; and I am ecstatic to share this with all.  

I am very good in life when things are just copacetic, meaning in excellent order.  I suppose all the stars are in alignment in my world and as far as I know everyone I know is good and well.  Now with that said I must explain that being from a very large family and having a large circle of friends that I am not going through life unscathed, or no one to pray for.  Oh no, In my life and I'm sure as in your own, we always have our prayer list of concerns.  What I am talking about in this blog is simply I have nothing Earth shattering or any real new big life reveals. And I like this sense of normalcy. 

I have great news that over the weekend my hometown NFL football team is participating in the play offs which has brought so much excitement for Cincinnati!!! We play again on Sunday and as we Bengal fans like to say, Who Dey!!!! Go Bengals!!!

I have started seeing a new man and all is perfect to report thus far as I will keep you posted on any updates.

My parents, children and grandchildren are all doing really well in life, they all seem happy and healthy and just plugging along. I myself  am almost fully recovered from a milder case of covid and I'm almost through the healing of the  break of my left foot and right ankle that occurred the end of October.

I am following on a prayer chain on facebook with a family called Carson's Crusaders , The Kissell Family, who prayer the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily.  Which started due to the oldest child Carson being born with Epidermolysis Bullosa a rare skin condition where he is missing collagen seven leaving his skin as fragile as a butterfly wing, the slightest friction can cause the skin to blister and tear.  He struggles on a daily bases and there is no cure. Witnessing his daily life of struggles and mostly his faith in The Lord, has done so very much for me in my life. The Kissell family have two other younger sons as well.  Charlie who does not have EB but little Kolbe, the youngest, does.  During his daily pray they except prayer request for all who follow mainly after his interview on EWTN Catholic channel. 

 At this time we have been praying for a woman named Beth Papin, a friend of my friend at work.  Beth had just given birth to her third child at Christmas and was found positive with Covid and is  fighting for her life. At this time Beth has been placed in a medically induced coma and is on a ventilator.  They are struggling to clear her lungs.  Many continued prayers for Beth and her family.

So as I said, Life is Good, right now for me but that never stops me, you and others for asking for prayers for so many others who we know and don't know but who have been brought into our lives for a reason.

Love and prayers my friends!!

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 ...
