The Heart, Untruth, and Snuggle

The heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout the body and is an essential part of the human body to sustain life as we know it. I am going in the hospital in less than 12 hours to have my CVA (google it) checked out to make sure it is not leaking and to also make sure everything else is alright. Why am I telling you this? Well it's after 12 am and I can't have any thing to eat or drink; not that I could eat anyway, but I could drink some ice tea - I blog for therapy and because I love to write.

SO back to the heart...The "HEART"...humm...how does your heart beat? I was hit out of the blue today with an untruth (not going to call it a lie because I don't like the word- even though that's what it was). Smack out of no where, you know that's where they come from- where you least expect it and from the person you least expect it from. Nevertheless, what was I going to do? Let it pass or take the bull by the horns and face it head on; I choose the latter. You know my advice is and you can take it are leave it. If you tell one untruth, well you are gonna have to back it up with another and then another and before you know it you got a bunch of lying going on...oopps! Did I say lie? LOL! Well you get the picture. Just tell the truth whether it is going to hurt or not. I had rather hear the truth and feel the pain from that rather than pain from a lie. Untruth me once shame on me, untruth me twice shame on you- or ever how the saying goes. Not taking kindly to this.

Well maybe while the doctors are working on my heart in 11 hours, perhaps maybe if it's heartbroken from my untruth today- they sew it up, if it is a little too soft in places- they can put a harder on spot, and if it's too hard- they can add some fabric softer maybe Snuggle and it will all come out in the wash.

Good Night and Love and Blessings!

Extra Stuffing

Yep folks it's Golden Girls time...The local department store had their brazers on sale this past week. The only Golden Girl that leaves the house ( Dorothy) was in charge of the weekly trip to town. Sophia was giving out the bra sizes because you know Sophia she is wise beyond her years while Blanche was napping. Well amidst the chaos, Dorothy gets the bra sizes mixed up. I mean who wouldn't REALLY?...Going bra shopping for 3 different women. Dorothy misunderstood Sophia and got Blanche, who was off counting sheep when the sizes were being called out a size 40 DD instead of a 42 D WHOA NELLY!

When Dorothy got back home Blanche tried her new bra on and needless to say the turkey needed extra stuffing. Dorothy and Sophia's bra fit to a "T". Dorothy and Rose had to return the "BRA". Rose couldn't keep her mouth shut about the entire story and told the cashier as they were exchanging the bra for the proper size, who by the way was employee of the month. Huge conversation twist, but the moral of this blog is to never snooze when bra sizes are being discussed and always listen close to the wise one because she is older and is always right.

A Taste of the Simple Life: I Choose Potato Salad

I Choose Potato Salad

He said...she said...he came in late...she didn't do this- the list goes on and on, but when it ALL said and done, does it really matter? My friend asked me to blog for her tonight-strange request, huh? Well, that's what a friend does for one another...true friends anyway. We are lucky if we come across a few good friends in life, however if we have one awesome friend we are considered blessed. I am blessed!

Like many of you, I am from a divorced family, which seems to still continue to be the going trend from the '80's when I was a child. One thing never seems to change and that is the hurt it causes the children. Without going into much detail and to protect my friend's children, I have held those children and wiped tears from their faces and tried to offer up explanations as to why divorce happens...I have no idea. I am 38 years old and am still trying to understand the concept. We must endure the weaknesses of life so that we may be able to uphold the strong parts of life. Sometimes I wonder about way the life presents itself to us, but it is up to us as to what we do with the potato we are given. We can let it grow spuds...bake it...have mashed potatoes...or potato salad. I choose to have potato salad...it's just better that way...

Do They Have a Farm?

About a month ago we had to relocate; if one can actually call it that...we only moved about 100 feet. So we have the same neighbors we have had for years, but now we are able to hear things better. Suddenly at night as we sit on the porch we can not only hear yapping of weenie dogs, if you listen closely enough you can hear a snort of a pig or horse. It's hard to distinguish, however I was walking today I believe I heard squealing, maybe? Who knows...Now my daughter tells me she heard a cow mooing from down the road. Well more on the farm to come, I feel quite sure...LOL! 

My daughter and I were sitting on the porch in the pitch black dark last night listening for the "farm animals"...now keep in mind all of our fur babies were accounted for because they were eying the same eyes that were staring at us. All I know is this little animal was bright eyed, black and faster than a striped snake. One shake and a holler and scoot it was GONE as were we. I may be curious my nature, but got my smarts from my mama! I allowed no time for a spot light or a picture for you all, but as Sophia would say, "Picture it: Sicily 1923", two women tripping over 4 cats to get in the house to get away from the critter...

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

What is Your Forever?

Forever...WOW! A big word, right? But how do we in today's society define forever or do we? I am noticing here lately the word "Forever" has fallen by the wayside and no longer has it's true meaning. Teenagers often use the saying BFF...don't be shaking your head (I see you)...LOL I am up on teenager slang because I have one. Well those teenagers don't know a bit more about forever than I do about Calculus. Forever is deep stuffing. I was a teenager a long while ago and said forever and boom bada bang, God had a change for me. 

You see, I thought I was suppose to marry my high school sweetheart, but no God had far greater plans for me. However at that time all I could think about was "Forever" because it was suppose to be forever, right? No...no. You see God's plans for our life are already planned out ever before we are born because HE knows what our "FOREVER" will be in every area of our lives.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5
