Monday, Dec. 29

Out the door early today for work. Had to be at a meeting at 8:30 and it takes me 2 hours to get there. My rooster alarm worked quite well! Meeting was okay, had lunch at Panera, big enough sandwich that I can eat the rest tomorrow for lunch. Going to dinner with my SIL and her kids tomorrow night. She got us all gift cards for a restaurant so we are all going together. DH is happy cause the Ravens and Eagles won! Hooray, on to the playoffs. It would be so cool of Philly could win the Super Bowl, too after my Phils winning the World Series! The city would go crazy!!! Hope things get better with the economy, my nephew is laid off, I pray it won't be for long. I really do hope that Obama is a good President! I didn't vote for him, but I want him to be successful for the sake of our country and it's citizens.

It is so hard to believe that another year is all but over! Sometimes I think about things that happened years ago and it seems like they happened weeks ago! Where does the time go? Not too much exciting going on. I am really trying to get myself organized at work. I want to be proactive and really step up to be the best I can be at my job. I want to help the company to be successful. I want to be proud of the job I do, I want people to genuinly feel that I am an asset to the company. It won't be hard work, I will just need to think ahead and stay organized.

Watch "The Dark Knight" tonight. Very good, much darker than the other recent Batman movies. It makes me sad to watch Heath Ledger, I really liked him. I know some people can't get past him playing the part in "Brokeback Mountain", but to me he will always be Gabriel in "The Patriot". So sad.

Trying to get the house really cleaned up and keep it that way. I am tired of being embarrassed that someone will stop over unannounced and see my cluttered mess! No time like the present, think I will go organize something!

Happy Monday!  Not quite as cold today - but still fall-like. Left work early today to go to a Dr. appointment - now I have a little extra time to relax before heading to Celebrate Recovery tonight.  I will tell you more about this wonderful ministry some other time, but feel free to Google the name to learn more. My husband looked back at some pictures he took this summer when my sister and her husband were visiting.  My brother-in-law passed away a couple of week ago, after a battle with cancer.  DH cropped down this pic for me - I love it! Have a blessed night! Missy

Feeling blessed

I was thinking about my perception of my past.  When I go to  Celebrate Recovery  and listen to other people's stories, I am sometimes reminded of things that I have been through in my life.  It is strange because sometimes it seems that they are things that I have forgotten about.  Memories come back and I realize how much God has been caring for me my whole life. Even when I wasn't walking as closely with Him as I am now, He was still there. It makes me think of the Footprints poem - I didn't know it, but He was carrying me! My first husband was not a very good person.  He had some good qualities.  He could be very generous, but only with certain people and only if he made the decision to be generous.  He expected me to put up with many inconveniences - even though we could have afforded better.  We lived for years in a mobile home that was in pretty rough shape.  We talked about buying a nice double-wide, but he didn't want to spend the money on the land or the hou

August 1951...Roy's view

It was raining, but that wasn’t abnormal these days, August had been a very wet month, it seemed like it rained every day. Roy’s friend, Luther had driven to pick up his sister and her daughter and they would be stopping by any time now. Roy was glad that they were coming to visit. Over the past year, his thoughts had often turned to Ellen. He wanted an excuse to go back to Luther’s home so he could see Ellen and her sweet little daughter, Leah. Finally, he didn’t need any excuse, they were coming here! He heard a car pull up, but was disappointed to find it was just a customer pulling up for gas. His sister Peggy headed out to the pumps, but Roy stopped her. “I’ll get it,” he said, “You don’t need to go out there and get soaked.” As the day wore on, he began to think that they weren’t going to show up. “Maybe it would be tomorrow,” he thought. “You look like your waiting for someone, Roy, what’s going on?” his mother, Jane asked. “It’s just that Luther and his sister should be getting
