Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
 PROMPT September 13th Who do you see as role model of yours, either a professional or 'everyday' person, and why should everyone else know about this person? This one is kind of a tough one for me. There are lots of people I would consider in my life to be examples of what I don't want to be. As far as current living human beings, I guess I could say my aunt, Aunt Clemma, is a good roll model for me. She is elderly and has taken good care of herself and her family. She has worked hard and has a lot of nice things. She is loyal to her husband, friends, and family. I admire her and would love to be like her when I am her age. Overall, I try to imitate Jesus. He should be known as the only way to Salvation. He is love. He has a sacrificial love for every person ever born upon this earth. He gave his life so that we can have a personal relationship with him and God the Father. He is everything good. He is always present so that I am never completely alone. He heals, comforts, provides, and guides. He is glorious. It is awesome to live in his presence. It is a privilege and an honor to have him live on through me. I am his and he is mine for eternity.😃 |
PROMPT September 11th What part of your life has been disrupted the most by the stay at home orders? What have you done to adapt to spending more time at home? Personally, I love spending more time at home. My adult home is a safe place. It is a place to relax. I have my favorite spots to sit and write or read. A lot of times it is what I would rather be doing. Most of the time, I am happy to stay home. I would rather slow down and enjoy life. Now if I could just get certain other people to love it as much as I do. Lol I only go out if I have to. My elderly neighbor on the other hand doesn't like having to stay home. She likes to be busy and on the go. A lot of times, she wants me to go with her to help her. Lately, I don't have a lot of energy. I don't like wasting what energy I do have. I have to try to pace myself. I don't really have much more to say about this right now. I already said most of this in my previous entry about wanting another quarantine. Sometimes I feel like it wouldn't matter if I was running a high fever and had the virus. My neighbor would still drive me crazy. She would expect me to just put on a mask and go because she has been vaccinated. I could be wrong for that, but that is honestly how I feel at times. |
| I just need to make a post separate from any blog prompt and say what I am thinking and feeling right now. We didn't force the flu vaccines when people were filling up the hospitals and dying because of the flu. Now all of a sudden, we need to force covid vaccines? It is considered unconstitutional that Texas banned abortion to give unborn babies a right to live. Yet, it isn't unconstitutional for someone to force vaccines or mask mandates? We don't believe that unborn babies are living human beings, but yet we are harvesting tissue and organs from them. When President Trump was in office, the pandemic was all his fault. Now that President Biden is in office its still Trumps fault and the fault of those unvaccinated people. The kids can not get vaccinated but we force them into classrooms together in school and on the school busses and can not understand why the virus is spreading. It's all the people’s fault that are not vaccinated. ??? The world is not making a lot of sense to me right now. Oh, and because I dare to disagree with a majority or whoever, then I should be shunned, censored, or beaten. This seems to be public reasoning today. Let's hate everyone and blame this, that, and the other group of people or say it is because of racism because this make so much sense people! President Biden removed God from the National Day of Prayer, but everyone is supposed to pray that this virus will be magically cured and go away. If we aren't praying to God, who are we praying to? There is no compassion these days. It is unconstitutional to make a sex offender carry a card with them showing they are a sex offender, but they are requiring people to carry cards to prove they are vaccinated at places. What? You are telling it invades a sex offenders privacy to know he is a sex offender, but it doesn't invade my privacy to know if I have received a vaccine or not? And we conservatives are the ones all being stupid. Not the idiots making these kinds of judgement calls. I don't know what to do with this I am feeling, but I really wish we would start thinking for ourselves and stop letting the major television networks dictate what we think. Grr! It is frustrating. A lot of the American people seem to be a bunch of sheep being led to the slaughter totally oblivious to it. Wake up before it is too late! This country will no longer be sovereign and free if things keep going like they are going. Ok, I guess my tantrum is over for now. |
PROMPT September 11th What were you doing 20 years ago today? Of the events that transpired, what memory stays with you, almost haunts you? Wow! I was 24 years old and working at Foley's at Penn Square Mall in Oklahoma City. I was trying to work to maintain my own apartment with 2 roommates that drove me absolutely crazy. I ended up moving to a different apartment just a few weeks later. Prior to 9/11/2001, that day had only been a friend’s birthday. It was nothing more than a normal September day. That changed that day. I walked into work to start my shift and everyone was glued to the tv in the break room. When the second plane hit the second tower muffled gasps came from everyone around the room.everyone was in stunned silence for a moment. I finally asked, “Was that for real? What just happened?” It took a moment, but a lady near by finally answered my question. Everyone slowly began to disperse because we had to get to our departments and be ready for the store to open. When the store did open, there were very few customers that day. Everyone was in shock and panic. No one knew if there would be more attacks. They were saying on the tv to avoid large gatherings and to stay away from malls. I have never seen a Mall so empty as I saw it that day. It was erie. Stores closed early. I think that is what will forever haunt me the most. Plus, being afraid there would be another attack, and more people die. Would our mall possibly be targeted? Thank God it wasn't. Memories of the Oklahoma City bombing, in 1995, were still fresh on the minds of Oklahomans. We had an idea of how New Yorkers felt. Our hearts went out to them. For some, it even brought flashbacks. After this day, 9/11 took on a whole new meaning. I had some personal tragedies occur on the anniversary of that day. It has been a day of sadness and reflection. In 2010, my best friend’s mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She had just said during the summer that she would hate to die on that day with what happened 9/11 to overshadow it. Plus, she would have hated to take attention away from those victims. September 11, 2010, at 11:45 pm, she passed away. Now her grandson, who she had adopted and was 11 at that time is haunted on this day. He always complained afterward that everyone at school was all about the world trade center, but he hurt because he missed his grandmother who was a true mother to him. He is 22 now. He has to work tomorrow at a fast food restaurant. I hope he is able to get through his day. (This is also my godson.) Fast forward to 2017, September 11, was the day my mom went into a coma to never awake again. 😭 To my best friend and godson, it was almost like going through it with their mother again seeing how I was hurting. For me, it was that and then some. I just knew my heart was breaking again. I cry a little as I write this being filled with emotion regarding every tragedy. The next few days are kind of hard for me. They bring back hard memories. September 16th, 2010 we laid my best friend’s mom to rest. September 16th, 2017, near midnight, my mom passed away. September 19th was my dad’s birthday which was awkward to celebrate right after my mom had passed. We buried her September 20, 2017. My dad died in late August 2 years later in 2019. Yeah, September is kind of a rough month emotionally. |

PROMPT September 10th What qualities do you value most in yourself? List at least three of them and tell us why you have these values. Love is my number one quality. I enjoy representing the love of Jesus to others. I enjoy imitating all of his great qualities of goodness. It has become a solid part of who I am. I am not fake. I don't like fairness due to a lot that I have experienced in my past. What you see is what you get with me. I have been accused of being brutally honest, but was actually thanked for it in the end. It is tough to choose a third one. I guess I will have to go with empathy. I am definitely what you would consider an empath. I can truly and deeply feel for others genuinely. I have to be careful what kind of people I spend time with. If someone is always complaining and negative, I am going to be miserable right along with them. It is a blessing in some situations but in others not so much. Oh yeah, I guess I shouldn't forget my smile. It is something I can share with others. It is genuine and I have been told it is beautiful. 😃 |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prompt: "Come, pensive autumn with thy clouds and storms and falling leaves and pastures lost to flowers: A luscious charm hangs on thy faded forms, more sweet than summer in her loveliest hours." John Clare Write about this quote in your Blog entry today. I do like autumn more than summer. However, I don't think we have as many flowers here during the fall. They are more abundant during the spring and summer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy with Captain Kirk and we found this planet:

I don't really have anything else to say about it right now.

PROMPT September 9th Everyone seems to be pretty health conscious in today's world. What health tips have worked for you. If you can't think of any, or are like me and haven't pursued any, what would you like to do to improve your health? I am currently working on developing a support group of sorts here on WDC. I am working on a fun way to support each other and develop a reward system for obtaining certain goals. We can lose weight together, share tips and recipes, and encourage and support one another. I am making a diet plan and an exercise plan. I am making it very detailed. I intend to journal here daily and be very real. 39% of the world's population is overweight. 13% of the world's population is obese. These numbers seem to be increasing. The weight loss industry is over a billion dollar industry. The food industry makes even more. I think this tells us something. With so many fad diets out there, sometimes it is hard to know how to help yourself. Plus, our society seems built around food. It's everywhere. I intend to try to fix the bad habits that got me obese to begin with. I am fixing to dig deep and confront myself even where it hurts. I don't want to just lose weight. I want to keep it off. I want to stop overeating and learn moderation. I also want to have fun doing it. I want to learn how to take care of my body (the temple of the Holy Spirit) in a way the brings glory to God, and I want to help other people do the same. Other people are where I am at too. We have to be able to balance real life with the food we eat and the things we drink. I know other Christians want to be able to realistically apply their faith to their daily lives too. It is not just about losing weight. It is about being a better me. It is about self-discovery and discipline. It is about faith in God and how he works in our lives. It is about finding motivation and being in better health. Check out my new forum!

. What do you think? I think that was expressed well. It brought a little comedy to what could be a tense situation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 3221: September 8, 2021 Prompt: “Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Use this quote to inspire you blog entry or describe autumn where you live. I don't think Autumn has gotten here yet in Oklahoma. We are still in the 90s most days. although, thankfully, it has been a mild summer this year. I am looking for looking forward to falling again as it is my favorite time of year.

PROMPT September 8th A practice I can begin to help me let go of negative emotions and return to a state of peace is… Stop answering job/career related prompts. Lol Just kidding. A sense of humor definitely helps. 🤷♀️ The first thing I do is pray. Sometimes that is all you have time to do in some stressful situations. If nothing else, I call out the name of Jesus or simply call out, “ “Lord!” One word prayers are sometimes all you need. I try to think of Scripture that matches my situation. I remind myself God is in control and works all things out for my good. I remind myself of Bible promises and who my God is. I am currently trying to learn to put on the garments of praise for the spirit of Heaviness. In other words, when I feel those negative emotions, I begin giving praise to God. You know what that does? It changes my focus. It takes my focus off of the problem and puts it on the one who has all the answers. It takes my focus off of self and places it onto who God is and what he is capable of doing. It takes my focus off of the negative and places it on the positive. It activates the faith in me. Sometimes listening to music can help especially when doing housework. I like to listen to worship and praise music, country gospel, church hymns, and such. Occasionally, I enjoy country music or 80’s music. There is nothing like the 80s music. Lol That just shows the generation I grew up with, and reveals my age. 😀 Sometimes I like to just take a moment to just breathe, just be. I will step outside if I can, take a few deep clensing breaths, listen to the sounds, feel the sun and breeze on my skin, take in the sights around me, look at the sky, and appreciate all God has given us and the beauty of it all. Sometimes I will do this while looking out a window or in my bedroom in private. |
