I had a really bad experience yesterday that left me emotionally raw...
Later that night I filled in at work for a wonderful lady. We had a great night and before bed she had me read an entry from her devotional book. (She's very religious) The entry I randomly turned to seemed to relate to my earlier experience...and helped me work through a lot of the residual... I feel very lucky to learn something from nearly every person I meet. But I was so grateful for this woman and my time with her. She's the only one I've talked to about it. It's funny how the right people come into your life at the right time... In short...I love my job

Getting the house done before the next surgery is weighing on me today. Am taking half of Mom's furniture. The dump guy is coming today to empty my place. He is also the painter and I am hoping he can paint in the next week. The carpet guy is coming Friday and can install next week. Then the cleaning people to clean it all up. If all goes well and there are no goofs or unexpected hospital trips, I will have 10 days to get the furniture moved and set up before the next scheduled surgery in Jan.

On my mind
Travel is on my mind. We may take a family vacation to South America. We are chatting about it but mom has the final vote.

It's always so lovely to know this place is here and that I can come back and see familiar names and threads and even some familiar faces in the galleries. No matter how long I stay away, when I do wander back in, I always feel that sense of "oh yeah, I remember you" and it's warm, friendly and comfortable.

Hoping 2017 brings rational, sane, humane thought back to our tiny little planet and to everyone who depends on it for themselves, their loved ones, descendants, and even those who we find it hard to love , on this fragile planet. Hoping 2017 works to make our only home, safe. If you don't think about that, what are you doing here on this wee spinning globe?

My brother and I don't always see eye to eye. We don't always like each other. But, he knows I'm having some trouble with someone and he's here in the freezing cold out on my front porch installing a security camera to watch my driveway and front door and installing apps on my phone that connect to it. My mind is feeling grateful.

I was reading the news when I saw an article where a gunman, dressed as Santa, entered a night club in Istanbul, began randomly shooting people. Some 35 dead and 40 injured. The gunman is dead.
These poor people are on my mind. They were just out with friends for a good time to celebrate the NewYear. In walks a dickhead and begins killing them for no reason other than being a mentally ill dickhead. What a coward! "A dickhead with an important cause" I am sure! HA! Sickens me!!! It is all over the news. Here is the link where I read about it: Just extremely sorry for all those people over there. 😓 http://www.cbsnews.com/news/istanbul...new-years-eve/ |

I've missed a lot of people here on BFP, those I know in real time and those I spent years online with. The last couple years have been up and down for me and I isolated myself from many. I think 2017 will be the year for me to reconnect with some of those I know in real time and I hope to spend more time on BFP reconnecting with those that know me and getting to know those that don't.
Here's to 2017, may the new year bring us closer together

I stand corrected
CORRECTION:
The Istanbul shooter is not dead. Authorities are still looking for the person. (sorry, I misread the article last night) |

If you have a Discount Tires near you, go there. I was able to get a whole new set and a full sized spare for a decent price but was also able to pay it off in 2-3 months using their card. You'll get free rotations and balances too and I was always able to make an appointment and come in for them to look at something if I had a question or if something didn't feel right. They have really good customer service, I've found. Even though I don't have one near me now, I still use the card for gasoline. |

Morning thoughts after a sleep deprived night
My wish is for everyone to have an amazing 2017. After the debacle that was 2016, everyone deserves new beginnings...
I have been considering how much words can impact someone's life lately. I can recall words spoken over me as a small child that had planted seeds of rejection, self-hate and insecurity. This reason has birthed in me over the years a desire to be more wholesome and encouraging in my words; perhaps because I knew what it was to feel inadequate and discouraged and that root still runs deep. Pardon the Christian references for those of you who aren't religious...but, Psalm 141:3: says: Set a guard over my mouth and keep watch over the door of my lips. The mouth has the power of life and death. Growing up, I was taught something very useful when considering my speech: Is what you say useful? Does it build others up? Is it relevant? We tend to speak words like daggers and sadly it is often to those we love the most. Part of my maturity has been to exercise self-control and I can honestly say for the most part I either don't speak at all or I deeply consider how I speak... We need to be so careful that we are planting gardens of life and not seeds of destruction. Words carry power and can completely shape how someone sees themselves. We need to heal and not hurt. My morning inspiration and meditation.

How do you define courage? Is it the absence of fear? You might think, under the weight of your fears, "I am not courageous." But maybe you have the wrong perspective. Courage can be measured in many ways, and is not the absence or denial of fear, but the willingness to act vulnerably. When you're faced with the unknown and then you stand on the edge of risk, courage brings you to the point where you are able to take flight, though you might be unsure of your wings. |

on my mind.....
how one night of freezing temperatures can wipe out my entire garden. It's nothing short of slime. It's my day off and I'm going out to deal with that. Oh, and it's going to get to 80 today. I'm just amazed, being from So-cali, where the weather hardly changes, that here...anything goes. There is no planning your work wardrobe, yet alone shoe choices, in January? ?? And....cactus stands pretty tall and sturdy. It goes limp and mushy after a freeze.
