Little People, Big World

Went to Roloff Farms this afternoon to pick out a punkin’ or two. Had a great time! Saw some little people. :o) They open up their farm to the public in October for punkin’ season. This weekend was the last weekend so wanted to make sure I got there early enough Friday to miss the [...]

Thursday

I have new roomies, temporarily, for a month. They (a single mama and her teenage daughter) moved in today. I spent the day helping her clean out the house she’s moving out of. She’ll be downsizing to a condo rental and found a great deal, but the current tenants won’t be moved until the end [...]

I’m gonna write it all down

I haven’t even journalled much in the past few months. My voice has been taken, it seems, in a different form than it was before. But I realized a loop last night. I’ll go ahead and leap right through it. :o)
I woke up this morning in quite a bit of a funk. I’ve been [...]

Missions

In 2002 a seed was planted in my heart about missions. Perhaps I’ve shared this before, but at the time, I didn’t think it could be possible. Who am *I* that I could do something so important as missions. I mean, my life was a disaster. It didn’t seem real, but it was real enough [...]

Rust

I’m feeling a bit rusty. ‘Hoping at some point soon it will be like riding a bike. I’ll just get back on and start peddlin’ like I did before. :) I’ve had a lot of great ideas and inspiration occur to me in the past few days, but because of my short term memory, they [...]

Insert Post Header, Here

Feeling a pinch better today; a bit more energy. I’ve been so exhausted. My head has been cloudy. Life blurry. Sluggin’ along one day at a time. I’ve lost all concept of days and time and when things happened. The past three months has been a bit crazy. I think the pain medication I was [...]

Just another manic…Wednesday

I’m so overloaded. I do not want to give vent to my frustrations, but I know there is a certain element of healthy to being able to do so. Sharing our burdens, so to speak. What’s the difference between whining/complaining and sharing burdens? Perhaps a study for me to look into. Nobody wants to listen [...]

It is HOT!

So…it is 107 degrees in Portland at the moment. Oregon. I’m pretty confident we set a new record. This week has been in the hundreds, climbing by a degree a day, it seems. And I don’t have air conditioning. I wonder how they survived this stuff in the olden days. I have a makeshift swamp [...]

When it rains, it pours

So, here in Oregon, it rains a lot, however, this Spring/Summer has been absolutely the most beautiful sunshiny season I’ve ever seen. SO much more sunshine than rain. It’s been fantastic. :O)
My daughter and I’s physical ails, however, have turned into a bit of a storm that I hope will have ceased for a while. [...]

Growing Pains

I’ve turned in the overwhelming oppressive yucky feeling about needing to do the right thing for a heart broken feeling. A self induced dumping myself out of the boat into cold frigid, rough waters. Whilst trying to gain my bearings…feels like I’ve been doing that for MONTHS now…my head is all over the place. Mostly [...]
