A short ramble...

I wasn't going to say much anymore but I need to get out in words what's started building thank's to this holiday anxiety. I'm hoping releasing some of it will help! It was going soooo well!

There's been A LOT of strides made in the last year. I've grown a lot spiritually (and still have a long long way to go!) I honestly was clueless how close to the edge I was. That's the biggest reason I'm thankful it all happened. Actually only one at this point but it overrides everything else that's been a struggle!!  I was happy in my little rut thank you very much, but my Father wasn't happy to see me in that rut!

The car that Dave drove and the chair that Dave sat in are gone as of this month so I'm suspecting that didn't help! But it's steps that need to be done. I just don't like the process the mind and body go through while it's happening! I'm also redoing the office, hopefully for the final time for a while. So when all is said and done by the end of the holidays all the change should be taken care of! Then on to a new year.  And to keep myself on track lots of prayer and lots of reading.

We've heard nothing so it's essentially the same as almost two years ago. I'm not quite sure how a person does it. I would guess a false identity would be the most logical. DNA still isn't officially recorded. GRR!! But they do have the samples they need now. Just praying for his soul. At this point that is the most important thing.

Sigh... I'll probably be on again soon. My thoughts are everywhere tonight! Happy Thanksgiving to all who read this!!

Woes of your own home....and a LICENSE!!!

Joys of owning your own home! Had to get one of my gutters replaced as well as the wood around the gutter. Luckily it appears that the roof wasn't affected, which is a really good thing since it's a flat roof! I'm just thankful that someone noticed it and pointed it out to me!! The yard is, at least temporally, cleaned up. The front looks SO much better!  Then on to blinds and next spring, repairing dry rot areas and painting the house. Hopefully that takes care of things for a little while but most likely something else will pop up!

Christina got her license last week!!! Hard to believe that my baby will be 18 this month! I really appreciate the thought that she's putting into her future. It's a struggle to figure out who you are and what to do with your life and decide what is really important. I'm thankful of the respect that she shows me as her mom and adults in general. Thanksgiving day will be the birthday day!

Everybody have an awesome weekend and remember those who have fought to keep our country free!
