Relaxing In. What's Righteous.

 GOD gifted me with great common sense and an intuitive spirit to make honorable decisions. 

Simply deciding now, that "I can" do so!

I Beat. My Child.

Memorial Day 2012: I gave her an old school whipping on a classic board game. I am professing myself as the official Checker Queen in our family. Queen me please is what I had to keep telling her!!!

Experiencing. Technical Difficulties.

Only. Two Words.

Busy Bee!             

Yesterday: I Slept.

I now refuse to blog from my phone unless I must. On yesterday the Internet was still out of service in our home and I really didn't want to use anyone else's. So I didn't. Tomorrow I'll be back at my "Blogging Station." THANK GOD!!!

Yay!!! Monday.

Oops. I suppose my urgency with tending to my precious blog caused me to post "it" prematurely (blank). I don't think anyone (other than me) noticed or will notice. On to my story...

Last week, I was a little bothered with having to write my blog from my phone. Mostly, because from my phone I'm unable to attach images from its photo library. I do have a smart phone and I expected "things" to sync accordingly.

I should probably send feedback to the website about "this" glitch since the site has been updated recently. I wonder if it's a software issue or if it's simply, that I only have limited access to all the available features on the website -blogging from my phone... Whatever "it" is I'm just happy to be somewhere I am comfortable with a keyboard where "I can" utilize my typing skills properly!

Some days I have a whole lot to say. Being unable to share my thoughts/feelings the way that I want to can feel a bit like torture. Not just here though. In many arenas I voluntarily chose not to express my feelings for several reasons.

Don't we just LOVE the freedom to choose? I sure do! So I've chosen to take advantage of "this" moment, while I have access to my GODsister's laptop. Yes. I am getting "it" in the way I want and "it" feels so good!

Yay!!! Monday.

Must. Upgrade.

Every "thing."

I'll Just. Do "this."

Blog from my phone once again... Without a story. No image.

Blogging From Phone.

I don't like "it." No complaints. "This" will just have to change A.S.A.P!!!

No Internet. At Home.

So... No story today. Merely a simple post. I was here.

Monday: Mellow.

Last year, my children and I discovered a blackberry tree a few blocks from where we live. None of us had ever seen one before and I was shocked to happen upon one in my local neighborhood. We picked a few berries from the tree on "that" occasion and sampled them after we cleaned them at home. They were so tasty. So much so, that I began purchasing blackberries from the grocery store on a regular basis since then.

What's my problem, right? Exactly. Why would I spend money on blackberries when I know where "I can" pick them for free? Exactly.


The blackberries pictured in each container are from two different places. The berries in the top tray are store bought. They're almost a week old, very ripe, and unusually plump. The smaller tupperware contains blackberries that my youngest daughter and I picked from the tree today. I know the better pick, but I'm going to eat each berry. Yes, all. No wasting!

When we finally did return to the tree a few months after our discovery "it" was completely bare. There wasn't one leaf only empty branches. I could've done some research to learn when blackberries are in season and when they ripen, but I still haven't.


However, I have driven by the blackberry tree periodically to check for growing leaves and any sign of blackberries. Guess what? Yes, the tree is full of beautiful green leaves and pretty little blackberries. Okay, so they might be raspberries. Who cares which? Not me because I like each.

What matters to me more is that I have access to fresh fruit from it's natural source. Not only that, berries seem to cost more than other fruits at markets. I feel so privileged having found "this" tree. I promise to visit "it" more and to help make sure it's fruits don't waste.

One More! Weekend.

Being 13.

My BIG girl.

My LOVEly! Blogging Station.

"This" is where I prefer to write my blog.

"It" doesn't always happen here though.

Thinking Through. "This" Tuesday.

There are some personal "things" I need to handle A.S.A.P. I've been brainstorming and mentally planning. Thinking outside of my head today. I'll need a notepad and a pen to outline my thoughts.

Realizing/Appreciating where I've been. Accepting/Understanding where I'm at. Preparing/Planning for where I'll go next! 

Getting "It." Done.

I just thought I would check to see if I could get online after being booted off abruptly last Friday evening. Remember (I didn't feel like dealing with) the wireless router issue? I suppose if had just taken care of the matter on that morning we wouldn't have gone without Internet access in our home over the weekend. No big deal, right? Right. I don't (usually) blog on weekends.

Unnecessarily, I have been under a little stress "this" past weekend. It's because I've been thinking about where I'm going complete my blog during the week if I don't have access to the Internet at home. "I can" go to the library or to one of my friends places and get it done there, but...

I'd really rather blog within the comfortable space of my choosing when I'm triggered "to do" it. However, I'll do whatever (within reason always) "it" takes to prevent any interruptions with posting each day "this" week. Let's get ready.

Happy Monday to me and you!!! ;)

Friday: Last "thing."

I'm strengthened by my friend's strength. She had so many "things to do" with the preparations for honoring her daughter Destoney's life in a memorable and heartfelt manner. Well done Alisa.

We wrote birthday/graduation messages on balloons and released them into the beautiful blue sky for a precious Angel.

"This" beautiful tree underneath GODs wonderful glow sits over her burial site.

THANK YOU JESUS!!!

Friday: First Thing.

Due to yesterday's inconvenience with getting my blog posted I've decided to handle my business now. I have yet to call the wireless router company who's responsible for our device. Yes, I am procrastinating getting "that" done because I just don't feel like dealing with it at "this" moment. There are more important "things" on my agenda for today.

Today, I'll be going to celebrate with Destoney's family and friends for her birthday today. UEI is also honoring her as a graduate at her burial ceremony today. It IS a gift within itself, that her spirit is flying free. Not one "thing" in "this" entire world, that anyone could've have given to her today can compare to the ultimate present she has resting with JESUS. Amen.

Since "it" took nearly an hour troubleshooting with our Internet provider on yesterday I have no interest in dealing with the situation at all today. We can access the world-wide-web from our desktop in the meanwhile. I wont wait too long because I am still being charged for wireless services.

Hopefully, I'll have a change of heart and just take care of "this" faulty wireless Internet connection before the day ends. I THANK GOD for my liberty with decision-making and having a mind, that does not stress over small "things." Keeping "it" moving continuously!!!

Seizing the Moment.

While I'm currently sitting on hold with my Internet provider I figure "it" best to blog now. The technical difficulties that we're now we're facing with our home computer has delayed my ability "to do" so before now. Shaking my head with frowned eyebrows...

The representative has concluded, that the issue is with the wireless router. I was transferred to a representative for that company and I just told him I'd call back because I need to finish what I'm doing online first. Once I post "this" blog I'll call back and hopefully get the problem completely resolved.

Now, that I have entered my thoughts for the day I don't feel so inconvenienced. I feel my attitude adjusting and "I can" be much more courteous to the next representative who attempts to help me from "this" point. Moving along.

He Asked. I Answered.

Last night, when I got out of the vehicle I walked into the neighborhood market and the security guard standing out front asked me "what's my bodyguard's name?" I replied "GOD."

He followed me into the store. I noticed, that he had a puzzled expression on his face. As I paid for my items he said "what did you say your bodyguard's name is?" I again, replied "GOD." 

He said, "that's what you named your dog?" My dog was in the car. His question was what's my bodyguard's name. Not what's my dog's name, which is exactly what I said to him. We laughed. 

Simple miscommunication, right? No. I know who my bodyguard is!!! ;)

I Am. Quite Skilled.

I can't remember the last time I helped a man with his tie. Some "things" we just don't forget how "to do" ever. Like riding a bike, swimming and yes, tying shoestrings or ties.

Last week, my youngest daughter participated in silly themes week at her school. We missed Monday's crazy hat day because she didn't give me the notice until Tuesday morning. For crazy tie day I figured we'd have to be creative because not one tie exists in our home, but I found a belt which worked out just as well.

After just two attempts, I tied that tie. No practice needed. One simple do-over and "it" was done!
