  5. Hi, Deena!

    Here you are! I lost track of you! I get confused when some of you girls have more than one blog. Ha!

    Any day that is free from depression is a joy to me! But even when I'm down, HE IS THERE!

  6. My joys at the moment are:

    My sweet husband who took care of me during our western trip when my hurt knee got too much for me to handle.

    My home and bed, which are still here for me and will ensure that I get a good night's sleep tonight.

    I've been praying for you while I have been traveling and just popped in to see how your treatments were going. HUGS!

  7. Oh boy...joys! The way the sun has been shining in our bedroom morning every morning lately....there's certain way late summer/fall light is defused differently. The restful sound of the cicadas whirling away all day, their sound relaxes me so much. The Sunday silence of a small town that still observes Sundays but without oppression. Sewing first thing in the am along with coffee. Having the time and quiet to create. Drawing out a new pattern that has been my only source of happiness during endless political meetings filled with corruption. Then finally being able to express what has been the mental life preserver while sitting thru ugly stuff. Then there it is! The beauty that was being created in my mind! The ability to think up new beauty, what a blessed gift...if we slow/calm/listen to Spirit within. Having fingers and eyes to make/sew/see/smile! Strong legs to walk around the table making patterns and all things. Our dog who nuzzles every am before he goes out he has a ritual of forcing me to showing him affection. The dog God forced on me when I was unwilling to trust or love again. The internet, my laptop, women who are supportive to eachother, who know each of us is unique and there's gifts in all of us, we don't have to compete.
    I could go on....you...your blog...loving you and meeting you.
    Grace....all around us even when we are the most scared and doubtful. God's angels sent and beside us all always.

  9. First cup of coffee in the morning
    A new magazine - Artful Blogging
    The sound of the computer booting up
    My little dog curling up with me in the afghan
    The sound of "Shall we go out for breakfast?"
    Feeling like things are done
    Seeing the little twin fawns

  10. I sent you a friend invite on facebook. They have a really cool blog section on there.

    http://apps.new.facebook.com/blognetworks/

    You can network your blogs. Its pretty cool.

    XOXO

    Oh and P.S. Even if I am having a tough day I make myself come up with atleast 5 things that brought me joy/happy about/or thankful for that day. It really changes my outlook and keeps me positive. I tend to have bad negative feelings.
