So Many Blessings

The clouds parted, the sun broke through and the ceremony began.

Bayfield, WI. The rain began on Thursday, the temperature dropped, and we weren’t sure how things were going to work out. We had all packed for 75-80 degree weather, sundresses, sandals, etc., instead, it was raining and in the 40’s Burrr! The ceremony was on Saturday at 6 PM, and literally at 5 PM the sun began to come through and our spirits lifted.

The Bride wore a fabulous vintage style strapless gown and was a vision.

Justin and Emily wrote their vows to each other and it was beautiful. Their words were so real, so authentic and poetic. I really can’t imagine anything more perfect.

As parents we pray for our children. We’ve prayed for Justin, we prayed for wisdom as parents. We prayed for him, for strength and character, and a Godly woman for his wife.

As we stood there in the glorious natural environment of fabulous flowers and gardens we were surrounded by friends and family. It was the answer to many prayers. Pastor Dan talked with them about dedicating their love and family to Christ, to have a God centered home. It was an answer to prayer. When Emily told Justin that he was a gift from God it touched my heart. Justin told her that she was his destiny his partner for life, my spirit soared.

A day of answered prayers on so many levels. So many blessings – I can’t count them all!

Blessings!

Parenting – A Roller Coaster

We are getting ready to head out-of-town for our son’s wedding. It is an exciting time. This is my first experience at this and I have been surprised at my thoughts over the last week or so.

You know those commercials, “A baby changes everything”? I really like them and they are so true. All the sudden life changes, it is no longer about us, it’s about them. A child is so dependent upon us, for everything. Our lives take on new meaning and certainly a different perspective. Our words and our actions matter. It becomes the biggest roller coaster adventure of all, full of ups and downs, and highs and lows. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

As we teach our children, we learn ourselves.

Gratitude – live a life of gratitude

There is a difference between right and wrong

Life is full of choices – Choose wisely

Choices have consequences – Think before you act

Live what you believe

Forgive yourself and forgive others – No one is perfect

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.

Open your heart to the many blessings that are in your path

Pray

Have a wonderful weekend.

Blessings!

Ways to Relieve Frustration

Ways to Relieve Frustration

Do you ever get frustrated with events or people? I don’t know about you, but I find that many times when I get frustrated it is because I am expecting other people to do what ‘I’ think they should or how ‘I’ would do it. When they don’t, then I get frustrated. It took me a while to realize this. For instance early in our marriage, I had certain expectations of what I thought my husband Bill should do, or how I thought he should do it. When he didn’t, well, we had a few little issues. We are still together after 35 years, so I guess I’ve figured some of it out.

Basically, and this hurts a little to admit, but it’s about me and my own attitude a lot more than about the other person. Here is what I found that helps:

1 – Be Open-minded and flexible

There is more than one way to do things so it helps to be open to new possibilities. Don’t expect others do things the same as you – Release it and let them do it their way, or don’t ask for their help.

2 – Make different plans

I try to avoid putting myself in situations that I know are going to bug me, or irritate me. For instance, if I know that a certain person is going to be late if we ride to an event together, I can choose to go alone. Instead, I can meet them at the event, and then if they are late it doesn’t affect me.

3- Set aside the right amount of time

Phone calls. You know those calls to the phone company or utility companies, that you know that you are going to have to be on hold, and wait. You know already that it is going to take a long time to sort through the issue. Well, since I know that already, I only make those calls when I know I have the proper amount of time to deal with it. In other words, I call when I know that I have an hour, or so, to take care of it. If I call and only have 10 minutes, again, I have set myself up to be irritated.

The good news is that if it only takes 15-20 minutes, then I have a little extra time – Nice!

You see, I have found that I am usually my worst enemy. When I make calls that I know are going to be long, and I only allow 10 minutes, or I plan to go out with someone who is always late, and I hate to be late, etc., I am setting myself up to be frustrated.

When I had my ‘Ah-Ha’ moment and realized that I am in charge of my choices and that I can choose another direction – Whew! Freedom.

Take a look, you may find you can make some other choices too.

Blessings!

1 – 2 – 3 Start Now

HI and welcome to the new blog and website!

Thanks for stopping by.

(If you have any problems or questions, please send me a note)

So many times it’s easier to keep thinking about something than actually doing it. I know that it true for me. Have you ever felt that? You know, like learning Spanish or French. We think about it and think about it, and talk about it. TIme goes by and somehow, well, we still can’t speak the new language. It could be anything, take a cooking class, learn to sew or to sing, ride in hot air balloon, or run a marathon (how about around the block?) Let’s ask ourselves, How about now? How about today?

Let’s look at 1 – 2 – 3

1 – If you were going to do it . . .

What would you choose to do? What is ‘It’?
What would it take to do it?
What would be the first step?

2 – Next, consider

How long would it take to do the first step? For instance, is the first step making a few phone calls, or stopping by the Community College to find out some information? How much time would it take?
What else would you need to get started? Is there a financial consideration?
Are you willing to step out?

3 – Decide a date. Tomorrow, next Monday, when you get back from vacation? Pick a date. How about today?

So here we go –

1 – What do you want?

2 – What will it take?

3 – When will you take the first step?

START!

Why not? We all deserve to have or to add those things to our life that add joy, peace, contentment, or just plain FUN! Let’s Start Now!

Blessings!
