Today I am a bit nervous. I am having 2 lumps removed from my right breast and I ask my friends to pray for me. I am not afraid because I have the Lord with me every day. So please pray…

Now, more about the fun I am having with my book. It is coming along so well. I have had a bumpy ride lately with moving, having surgery and to beat the band, my computer stopped 3 days before the warranty was out and I couldn’t get it to the repair person until the warranty was GONE! What can I say. I am blessed that I was able to purchase a wonderful desktop for my office. Now I can stay grounded and uninterrupted when I am writing. So all good things come to those who wait….

I have a vacation planned in a few weeks. I have a housesitter arranged so my little dogs won’t miss me too much.

I hope everything is going well with my friends. I have been offline for a few weeks with my computer problems and some surgical procedures in the past and very near future.

I still can’t believe that I get up every morning, get a cup of coffee and go to work in my office. I finally have one room that is my own. I am surrounded by pics of my family. As you can imagine there are books EVERYWHERE. I did go through them and was able to recycle a few, but the ones that remain I do intend to keep. I have a habit of lending my books out and then needing to replace it. That is my way of getting others interested in my friends books.

This one of my favorite pics of my grandson, Jackson. It was taken over a year ago, but it catches the twinkle in his mischievous eyes. I will add a pic of my granddaughter asap. There is a shot of her that I haven’t yet down loaded. It is worth the wait.

We were headed to the Great Smoky Mountains to spend a couple of days. It’s just a short ride for us. I love the view as we get closer to the foothills. The sight of those magnificent peaks fill my heart with such admiration for our creator.

I will check in soon, life is so blessed with tiny miracles, we only need to look over the daily grind and find something each day to be grateful for. As most of you know I suffer greatly with Fibromyalgia and RA. A good day for me means that I won’t have to use my wheelchair or walker. It means I can make it around the house on my own with the assistance of my furniture…to lean on when the back spasms get to bad. So…everyday I try to find something specific about that day to be grateful for. I am not just filling you with hot air. I must keep looking for the good in things and people. My book and my family and friends are what God has given me to keep my chin up and keeps me leaning on him for his strength and support….

Good Nite all!

Lord lead me...
