 |  This life of mine is filled with blessings and I'm gonna focus on that and move forward. |
 And here's my Simpsonized picture...  and my daughter, Baba. Isn't she cute?  Actually, I need to upload the whole family, just for the heck of it sometime. Then, I'll always have them right here with me.  This journal forced itself into being because I loathe, no, I mean, I want to write. It is a struggle to state what I am thinking inside so a daily blog is just what I need. Not because I like doing it, I must. My thoughts are begging to be heard before they are lost in the caverns of my mind cave.  |
| Inspired by Royals song from Lourdes I always knew I wasn't Royal but for some reason, I kept a silly dream. It's obvious from my surroundings that no one is coming brew my afternoon tea. I knew I wasn't Royal but I still wanted the silly pomp and circumstance Of the beautiful gowns and dresses Of the nights of the ballroom dance. No prince to come and court me and ask me for my hand No endless gifts from courtship to set on my gilded nightstand. How could I be a Royal? I had no gold or diamond crown No jewels upon my fingers To look at or twist around. No, it's just plain ole' me and I'm average A happily married gal With so much love in my life it's my beverage I'm blessed in my normal life. Adore lol♥ (Just participating in the 48 Hour Community challenge. I think I did it! :D |
Good to see you guys again...sorry it was so long. I really thought I"d get it together better but ah well. I'm attempting to blog again, so hi!!!  I'll be brief since I need to leave. We moved to a new home that we're proud of and really really like. And I'm greateful and happy about all of it. Grateful and happy! God is so good to me to us...I don't deserve all of this goodness. Oooh, oooh, ooooh!!! I hear one of my fave sounds :D The sound of a train horn in the distance I can't see the trains roll past our home any longer but some days, when the window is open, I still hear them in the distance. Ah! Yes, I recorded train sounds to keep the sound with me no that we live miles from the nearest train. Anyhooo, I now know what I enjoy speaking on. Parenting. I loved raising our children. I miss this part of my life very much. So, I think I have two topics which might keep me writing. Well, that's all for now...thanks for stopping through now.

Jan 14th - Well, today I don't really have a lot to say. I'm preparing for our trip out of town. My other computer doesn't have a hard drive right now, so I've got to work on this computer. Fortunately, I had a USB drive that is installing another drive, but it's taken hours so I won't know if its working till the morning. And tomorrow, we have to leave so I can't work on this till we return. Really, it won't get worked on till Thursday. So this isn't a true blog post really. I'm sorry for the format. Just trying to post a post something everyday. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. The new Dr Jordan Peterson book just came in for me from the library. We're gonna start reading it on the drive to Sioux Falls. Till my return, Lord willing... |

Jan. 13th - Great! I made it on time today to write a bit in my blog. I thought I would give myself more time but I didn't. I wanted to talk for a few minutes about how children should be nurtured and loved more. I sure remember being a Mom of younger kids and I miss this time terribly. I'm so happy that we have young grandkids. Ares and Luna. We don't get to see them since we moved states away from them but it's all to do better and more in our lives. Had to leave the town and place we were situated for years to jumpstart some action in our life. We're going to visit Sioux Falls in a few days. That's a much larger city than where we live now. "sigh" I love the sound of the train going past our home in the night. It shakes the building and startles us all. Well, it used to. Our cats now love the sound as much as we do. That's the only "noisy" part of us living here. It's heavenly to have this location. So I hope to make more sense of this blog than this. I'm sorry if you happen by here while it's being worked out. You're seeing the scattered part of me...again, sorry. Till next time, though. Lord willing...we'll see each other tomorrow. |
Jan 12th - Oh boy! and sigh...couldn't make it three days in a row. This is gonna take some getting used to. Started working on items to take to the training on the 16th. Have my fingers crossed that I'll actually get some further ideas down to help with this idea cultivation process. It sure helps to give hope. I heard from my son today. He's been under the weather but he still checked in on us. I'm glad he still does that. Boy, did we get a lot of snow yesterday and its so cold now. Glad for the gingerbread cookies again. Found out that our daughter loves these cookies. Got to contact the lawyer's office again tomorrow. Hopefully we can connect on this case. Never thought this would be so hard to find a malpractice lawyer. Granddaughter posted today on her YouTube channel. Love watching her play her games. So enjoy this time of her life. I'm hoping we can get back to that side of the country again and visit them. I hope to post better blogs soon. Just doing this feels hard but I must do this daily, I must. Till next time... |
Jan. 10th - I made it again another day. Today, I'm here posting on this blog and I am looking forward to the training I agreed to for 8 weeks and it's gonna be awesome! :D Also, on the 10th of January, my husband and I started dating 35 years ago today. Wow! I know we never thought it would look like this and we never thought that far ahead when we started dating. I'm still so happy with my life with my husband, for how it changed my life permanently all for the better, and the great children we have, and for the grand children...there's just no comparison!  This is short as I'm off to go to the movies with my husband for this "anniversary" of us dating...lol. This year is our 34th in April of this year. Wow! Praise God!!! Thank you Lord for this amazing blessing. My heart is so full right now. Till tomorrow...Lord willing.  |
Jan 9th...yippee!!! Another day, another chance to journal today. I am so glad that I am posting today. Today, I get to say that I registered for an 8 week class with the small business group here in Aberdeen on starting a business or geting help with an existing business, either way, I'm in! The class starts on Jan 16th, a Thursday and you have to participate every Thursday unitil March 6th, 2025. I'm excited about this. It might be the start of something good. It just might. Can't wait to hear from our grandson, Ares. I hope he journaled daily as he said he would. Got in touch with that doctor in Sioux Falls, and it looks as if something good might get initiated. I'm crossing my fingers on this one. Well, I've got to get my tea and cookies so we can watch Cory play this video game from his channel. Can't wait to see him play games again. Till tomorrow...later, gators lol The Tale of Coco Adore: ** Image ID #1641538 Unavailable ** |
Wow! It's been 21 years since I signed up to Writing.com in Florida, in 2004. So much has changed since then, in me, in my life, and in my families lives. I'm so blessed to have a loving husband who supports me and loves me. That's no small matter in this life. I'm so blessed to have children, two who are here, and 1 in Heaven waiting for me, who love me in spite of me. I'm so blessed to have two wonderful grandchildren from our son, Ares and Luna, they are just GREAT grandkids. And they call me gram gram! lol It's funny how my focus changed. It's funny to me that now I want to learn knitting. And crocheting. And I MEAN it this time. lol So, I'm not talking about writing but I want to write much more in 2025. My husband has some great writing strategies that I plan to use to get more good work in my portfolio. I'm glad for the newsletter that do here. I'm also glad that it is looked at and enjoyed. This makes me feel good and this is such a positive aspect of this commitment. Well, I hope that this year, 2025, will bring much more surprises than 2025 brought but not with medical surprises or deaths. Or near death. I've done enough for my fair share of years. lol Better get this posted. lol |
| Today is Monday, January 6th and I'm gonna try to write in the blog. This is not what I wanted to document but I think that I must write something daily. This is hard but I think it will be worth it. In the long run. It's funny that a week ago, my husband and I went to get flu shots and we've been fighting sickness on the day, a week later. It almost feels like it is a waste to do it but my husband told me he'd never gotten the flu shot so Dec 30th 2024 is a memorial day. lol Ares said he wanted to journal daily. I need to ask him the next time we speak how it is going for him. He is a wonderful child. I am proud that he is our grandson. Our granddaughter, Luna is a wonderful young lady that is just a dream girl. She's girlie fun smart and lovely all at age 5. What a great age to be so young! It' crazy that in two more days, I'll have joined WDC on Jan 8th 2004. Sigh. I don't have a body of work from that time at all. Oh well. Such has been my life. I spoke to our son Kane yesterday. He's such a good son. I enjoy speaking with him and hope that I can be more of a Mom in his life, and more of a gram gram in my grandkids. Here's to more writing in 2025! |
