3 years

3 years ago yesterday i met lauren
she came into my office as a temp to help cover while an employee was out on vacation.
she wore a long skirt to the floor
she was kind, appropriate in her actions
professional, pretty smile
yet, there was something i saw deeper in heart that drew me to her.
i wanted to know her.
i wanted to get past the "wall" and really see her heart.
i was drawn to her.
i wanted to ask a lot of questions.
i can only say now that God was in our midst.
He knew her.
He knew me.
He connected us.
and so our journey would begin.

lunch outing..

so i shopped a very little at TJmax just a bit ago.

all i want are some cute little T-shirts to wear with my

jeans or shorts with flip-flops.

how hard can this be?

can a 50 year old woman wear a T-shirt that has peace and love on it?

i feel like i am back in the 70's!

and then there are other "words" that are on some cute shirts,

but i so don't know what they mean that i am afraid to buy them.

afraid that the "word" i would be wearing on my body may mean something that

is not who i am.

i am not up on the latest words...

so i was safe and got a T-shirt with Florida on it.

that was safe... i know where it is... i have been there...

and as far as i know "florida" is not a dirty word.

Happy Mother's Day

My Mom...
She is full of energy and acts much younger than she is.
She is witty and has a great sense of humor.
She likes to have control... but that enables her to get lots of things done!
She is a good friend to many people.
She is the BEST pie baker I know! (i did not get inherit this gift from her!)
She gives freely of her time and energy to many.
She likes to be busy.
She loves flowers in her garden! (I DID get this gift from her.)
She is on the cutting edge of technology.... she has a computer and is savy on it... she knows how to skype... she actually uses her cell phone... she now has a digital camera... and she misses her email when she is away from home. Yes she is addicted.
She loves me well.I honor her this weekend and am thankful for her being my Mom.

some days are just harder
nothing i feel makes any sense to where i am walking
everything is hard
i want to sleep
i want to sit in my chair and just be alone
everyone just leave me alone!
don't ask anything of me... please
there is irritability,
and always with those i love the most
when i can connect with someone that is or has been here,
wow... it is encouraging
reality
hormones
God is bigger
He has to be!
