Gone With the Wind.  It feels like we're in a literal adaptation of the book.  A high wind warning has been issued for our area until midnight, following a day of  gusty winds, showers, and cold temperatures, a very raw day weather wise.  If you are friends with me on Facebook, you saw my request for prayer regarding the tree by my bedroom window ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I pleaded with the Lord to help me because so many things were going wrong, creating a lot of upset and tension that I just couldn't handle.  Today I get to praise Him for answering my prayers positively!

Late this afternoon, I called to set up a doctor's appointment to see about getting my medication ironed out.  The scheduler made my ( Read more... )

We have great news! Jon has finally gotten a job! He'll be working for an aerospace manufacturing company, doing wax injection. This place is like my old employer, but hopefully the management is much better. In fact, this company makes parts for one of my old employer's subsidiaries. He'll get to work second shift, which he prefers. We wish the ( Read more... )

I've felt better today than I have in a few days, which translated into getting more things done. At last!! It feels so good to be able to do chores!

What I've done isn't terribly interesting, unless you call doing laundry exciting. I actually like doing laundry. If I had a business, I'd probably run a laundromat.

If you are a praying person, please ( Read more... )

That may be too dramatic for a title, but it describes the day.

I almost went to bed without writing in this journal, but I really want to develop the habit of coming here regularly to journal so this will probably be shorter (relatively, because I'm a wind bag) and less detailed.

Some of my paperwork for SSI didn't make it to the mailbox as I ( Read more... )

I wasn't able to make it to Sunday's Resurrection service because of my fibro, but we still made sure to go to Easter lunch at my folks' house.  It was hard to get moving, but it was so worth it!  We had a grand time.  After our spectacular lunch, Mom, Jon, and Aunt Catbird played Scrabble while Daddy and I visited.  It was an afternoon of making ( Read more... )

The Saturday after Good Friday is known as Silent Saturday, for it is the quiet time when Jesus rested in the tomb before letting his disciples and his devoted followers know that He had risen.  On this day we take time to reflect on His gift and His wonderful resurrection, which happened the next day.  What a glorious day it was!  Death could not ( Read more... )

Hello, Friends!  How are you today?  I'm doing okay; about as well as I can do with the fibromyalgia.  It doesn't take much to wear me out or to make the pain worsen, but I do what I can and then rest.  I don't want to cast things in too much of a negative light because I really like to be positive where I can.  It is what it is...a thorn in my ( Read more... )

Hello.  I'm Kelly, and I'm actually not a stranger to LiveJournal.  I used to be very active here under another username, but I got pulled away from it due to work, personal issues, and (I'm sad to say) FaceBook.  Now that I'm not working, I plan to journal here a lot more because I have more time for it and fewer distractions.  For those of you ( Read more... )
