R's rue

 Daydreaming

Of the seashore

Salty sprays

Cool sand

Coffee cups

And crisp 

French bread

Are soothing 

My soul

This Sunday

 Enjoying the 

Dogs running

The deer prancing

The goats playing

And the birds singing

The natural world

Marching to

It’s own drum

And happily

Basking in

Total bliss

 Old school hits

Lunch with a blogging friend and her daughter

Fresh fruit

Down thirty plus pounds

New magazines

Shopping small

 Rise and shine

My precious people

Praising Him 

For a new day

To sing along

With creation

 Calm my 

Nervous heart

As I stop thinking

And just let

It all be

Peace

Greet me

Like the 

Fresh morning

Dew

 What’s in your cart?

What is making you smile?

What’s on your heart?

What are you reading?

What are some new blogs or Substacks you like?

OT equipment

Your kindness

Trusting your Will

Travel books

Looking for reccomdations

 Lord

You know my 

Anxious thoughts

Take them

From me

As I

Seek Your

Face once again

 Enjoying this day

And not focusing on

Tomorrow

And what 

Could be

Your love

Never leaves

I just need

To pay attention

To Your voice

Not my own

 Your Word

Says not 

To worry

And what

Do I do

Exactly

I need 

To trust

That You

Know every ailment 

And have a solution

Or pathway

To handle it

Doing it

On my own

And ruminating

On how it happened

Is not the answer

I’m just miserable

And like 

Oscar the Grouch

These days

 I try to keep this light and airy here most days, but let me tell you I’m being tested. Finished OT and PT to fix some body parts, and now I may have to fix more body parts. Is this the joy of getting older?  The thought of maybe having to fix more is exhausting, frustrating, humbling and scary. I had to have a friend remind me that I do the hard and unsavory things every day, and I will do it again. 

Onto a brighter note, it is Friday, it’s brisk outside, and maybe I’ll see another butterfly on my walk today. 

How are you all?

 Cool brisk morning

As I awake

To new beginnings

Breakthroughs

And a 

Sustainable hope

That can’t be

Broken

 Thank you Lord

You haven’t

Fixed the issue

But my eyes

Have been

Redirected

For today

I’m grateful

Nonetheless 

 Lord

Guard my thoughts

My heart 

Soul

And mind

In perfect peace

As walking 

Through the 

Waiting is

Emotionally draining

And utterly exhausting 

 What’s on your heart?

What is making you smile?

What’s in your cart?

What’s for breakfast?

Last thing you read?

Praying for peace and joy in my heart as I’m in a waiting season. Been here awhile. 

My dogs

Physical therapy equipment 

A piece of wheat bread

Old books and magazines

Your turn?

 Happy Easter

You rose

You’re alive

And in 

Resurrection

Joy can

Be found

 Finding beauty

Amidst the pain

The story

Of life

The secret

Hold fast

Hold on

Until the

Storm passes

Or teaches

You something

 Refresh my spirit

Restore me

Back to 

Calmness

And serenity

Please

 Today 

You bore

A cross

Took on

Physical death

Brutality

The price

My sin

Wiped clean

Slate fresh

Because

You shed

Your blood

 Be still

He says

Ironic the

Only way

That happens 

Is when

I’m surrounded 

By creation 

 No joke

April is here

To welcome us

With goodness

And grace

Hello my friend

Be good 

To us
