800 Posts

I just realized this

And it's 11pm Thursday night as I type this.

800. WOW. Never thought I'd have so many.

Feel funky. Feel good. I got words in my mouth so I say them-

--name that tune---

l strange to know folks literally around the

World have read my words

Just wish they'd comment more.

Yet everything in baby steps.

Friday I'm taking a vacation day, which includes

Lunch with a chum. Lookin' forward to that

Especially 'cause he makes me laugh.

It is really my bedtime and I gotta take this kitty's lead;

And head to bed.

Gotta think about something profound

For the 801st post.

In the meantime--THANK YOU EVERYONE!

...and then what happened...

I was about to leave work-drained, wondering when I was going to really become 'one' with the new job. I'm almost there, not all the way, but almost. Looking back at last week, I already know more this week. Then it hit me--I still had school work when I got home.

Not feelin' that. To be in front of PC all day, then come home and straight away be in front of it again? Naw. I shoulda gone to the gym to get back in working out. Nope. What I did do, was lie down for few moments. More like an hour. Watched the news. Pet a cat. Popped my coumadin pill. Then I got up, put my food in the oven and out the door I went. .

What did I do? I got bit my a zillion 'skeeters and whatever else pops up out of the grass to feast on my legs and watered my backyard. I have sprinklers in the front but not in the back. The whole process was relaxing. Except for scratching my legs where critters bit me. Four of my houseful of cats decided to step out side. For one, it was his first time to venture out the door. And he'll be 3 years old on June 12. He didn't stay too long and wanted to go back and guard the house from the inside. The other three chomped grass while the weenie dogs next door watched them and the birds waited for them to go inside so they could munch at their own feeders. .

After all that, I ate my grub, caught up with my soap, pet another cat--and decided to do some school work. Got that done and once again. sighed a relief this class is over Monday. I also realized if I had to attend campus classes after work --oh my, I may have dropped most of it.

Any I could go on, alas Blue Bell Vanilla Cookies n Cream Ice Cream awaits. Priorities...

Soothe

That's what the rain did today. Soothed. And still kinda does as I type this.

Today the last song I hear on the radio as I pulled into Inspiring Body of Church's parking lot, was the classic "The Closer I Get To You" with Roberta Flack and the late, great Donny Hathaway. I hurried to my seat, because it was close to service time and Bear is the last person I pass to get to one. Bear was ready to give the group prayer. After Bear finished, I told him how good it is to hear him do prayer--Bear beamed. And said what I truly believe, "It's all God." Did I ever say Bear looks good in a suit?

IBOC's Pastor Rickie Rush taught a lesson on how to get thru disappointments. He used cripture from the Old Testament, The Book of Jeremiah. The lesson included Pastor Rush discussing a ride on a roller coaster and when he was little and stole chocolate out of his mom's purse. The chocolate which really was Exlax--this lesson dealt with what God has called you to do and how you are always in His hands. Trust me--it ALL worked! :)

Got school work done. Never cleaned the house--imagine that--smiled at my backyard flowers and the leaves on the pecan tree. The scent of burgandy roses waltzed to my nose and then I smiled how a cat with dandelions is dee-lightful sight of Spring.

I am blessed.

Yea, well...

I'm pissed. I admit it.

To gripe ain't gonna help.

Need to look within myself to see

What there is to see.

Prayer. Faith.

Will not paint myself with impatience.

Done that much all my life-

Yea, I'm pissed

And no Blue Bell Ice Cream in the freezer to ease....

Prayer, Faith. Will ease all true.

Ice cream awaits tomorrow.

I'm pissed. I admit it.

Yet, I remain blessed.
