Hey, everybody! It's been 2 weeks since my last posting, and maybe you all are wondering what's been going on. Well, it's been a very,very busy few weeks.
You know how you pray and pray for something, and it seems like maybe God isn't listening?
He's listening! But He has to get everything lined up for the blessings we've asked for and then some.
I told you all in my last entry, about my new job. I started this past Tuesday, and I am EXHAUSTED!!!
Working 3rd shift at my age isn't easy. Fortunately, it's only temporary. I expect to be back in the real world, soon.
We also just celebrated Codys' 16th birthday. Can you believe my baby is 16! Where does the time go?
I was a little bummed out when I was getting ready for his party, but that changed really fast.
Lacey got sick, the day before his birthday, so I kept Austin and Gabe. Before long, I was rejoicing in the fast that Cody was turning 16. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my grandkids. But there is definitely a reason why God blessed me with my kids when I was younger.
Patience, is not one of my virtues!
In the past week I also decided to get on Facebook to see what all the buzz was about. I can't believe how many people I have found, and ones that have found me.
I never realized how much I missed some of them. It's been so long since I've even thought about a few of them, while others I've thought about often.
I hope I can stay in touch with some of them, and who knows, maybe they'll even become a follower of my blog?
I will try to keep posting once a week, but right now, I can't even keep track of what day it is, so you'll have to cut me some slack.
I hope you all stop, and look at the blessings we're given everyday. It would be a shame if you missed even the smallest ones.
Have a great week, and I will talk to you all soon!

The Good News!
Good morning, everybody! What a wonderful day we are having, out here, on the East Coast. Temperatures are warm, and we have thunderstorms moving through the area. You all know how much I love my thunderstorms.
The rain is a gift from God, so I can deal with oher things, besides my plants and flowers. Believe it or not, I actually have managed to keep some of them alive. Thanks, Lynn.
As expected, things are continuing to go well, for those of us in Conway, SC. We all have our moments. But it just takes us, stepping back from whatever is going on, to see that there is a lesson in there somewhere.
It's funny, because when one of us starts freaking out about life in general, there's always someone to remind us that everything will work out. Maybe not the way we want it to, but the way it should be.
And with every passing day, it gets easier and easier, to stay positive. Life is good. I have to say that I have never felt as much at peace, as I do now.
Sometimes when you stop and really take a look at your life, the blessings overwhelm you. We just need to take the time to enjoy and live our lives. Existing is not enough!
Go doesn't want us to exist, He wants us to live and rejoice. Absorb the awesome things that nature brings us everyday. Smell the air, the flowers, the rain. There is an endless supply of it for all of us.
No one can ever say, that they have had one day, where there wasn't anything to be thankful for.
I am always reminded of this, when I take Gabe and Austin out in public. They are both so easy to please. Gabe is so funny to listen to. I have him brainwashed about the #24. So now whenever he sees it, he knows it's Jeff Gordons' number. He even watches the races.
Seeing the world through their eyes, makes everything so much easier to deal with.
We all need to remember what it was like to be young and actually believe in something.
Try to go out into the world, with the eyes and ears of a child. What a refreshing change it is.
Life is what you make it.
I'm going to end for now, so I can do just that. Today, I'm leaving you with a quote I found.
"We are what we think. All that we are arises from our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world." Buddha
Hope you all have a good day! Talk to you soon.
