Boo hoo

I forgot to reflect on yesterday being 10 years since Daddy died.  

Boo!

That’s all.  

Blessed by trusting God

Very grateful. I committed to trust God & trust Gene with whether or not to go with Gene to the Bassmaster Opens event at Grand Lake trip. 

During  the night all the aches & pains, including the chest ache, I had in the evening diminished. I slept better than I can ever think of before a trip — and I was nowhere near where I thought I should be regarding being ready. 

That rest & relief could only come from God! A scripture I meditated on at one of the few times I was awake was the 23rd Psalm. And verse 6 is the verse of the day. Coincidence? I think not!!

Very, very grateful. I pray to be able to bring this experience to mind when I feel discouraged and-or doubtful about what is possible when I trust God!

Another amazing CROP Walk.

 God is so good! 

More to come ….

#IsurvivedtheOctober 2021 flight cancellation misadventure2

 And how about the Aggies beating Bama while we were too distracted by travel misadventures to even follow along with the second half of the game. (We were able to watch the first half on the flight from Fort Myers to St. Louis.) 

So many unexpected blessings I could list. 

Trouble was on way home instead of to Florida. 

Gene & I were together. 

The Aggies were on CBS network so we could get it on plane. 

Beautiful views of sunset & clouds from the air. 

In the moment

It was helpful to recognize that I’m not as excited about this beach & resort as I have been about others in the past. Whether it’s because of year off & ongoing changes due to Covid, or just getting older, it was helpful to say aloud that I can choose joy & gratitude anyway. I can focus on what I like & enjoy rather than what is missing. 

And just acknowledging that made a huge difference in my perspective. I’m back to seeing the good and appreciating even the little, simple pleasures  

Stay in the moment. Trust God. Be grateful.  

Meaningful moments

 Meaningful moments don’t require photographs. 

Photographs are not a requirement of meaningful moments. 

Moments can be meaningful — and memorable — even if no photographs are made. 

I hope and pray these are true words!!
