and Purposeful Prose
I really need some "Freedom" songs. Apparently I've been trying to do things in my own strength. I'm not sure how this happened. (I don't like that it happened either.) Our strength and help comes from the Lord Jesus. Joy is found in Him also. So waking up feeling unwell means that I need to [...]
The strangest things make me laugh… I'm listening to music in bed, Andrew yells from the living room, "Oh, by the way, you got me dill pickle chips." He wanted sour cream and onion. Me: I did? (laughing) Andrew: Yep! Oh boy…. My brain isn't with it, but at least I found it amusing. Ughhhhhhhh. [...]
I lost it last night. I don't know what happened. I believed what I wrote in "Rest." I believed that I was doing better and that I would find that balance, but then I lost it. Something that disappointed me came to mind. Unfortunately, I've kind of got stuck on analyzing everything. I wanted to [...]
Having Hashimoto's Disease means that my body doesn't cooperate as I would prefer it to. It's been this way for over a decade now. Tuesday night I woke up only a few hours after I went to bed. When I haven't slept well I can't function. I can push myself, but it tends to create [...]

[grandma and grandpa] My grandpa was a poet like myself. I was quite young when He passed away, but what I do remember is him showing me how to shell peas, his postcard collection, and the little office where he connected with his friends via his two-way radio. He adored his Citizens band radio. Grandpa [...]
That is the question. The answer is: I do indeed have two buzzy and busy bee poems to share. First up... Follow the Leader Buzzy little honey bees Your wings are growing stronger Soon this wearying, whirring wind Won't hinder your way any longer. Stay true to your sure and stable course Soaring flower to [...]
First up, I'll give you the scoop on my plans that didn't pan out. February 14-17 was the Great Backyard Bird Count here in Canada. I've never done this before, but I was going to give it a shot. When the 14th arrived I peered out our window to see not a single winged thing [...]
Thankful So thankful that You're never silent But it took time to hear Your voice It took seeking It took asking It took listening To have faith. Thankful So thankful that I'm not alone But it took seeing to understand It took Your loving invitation Your sacrifice It took kindness It took trust and risks [...]
