44 years

Happy anniversary to my love! We’re still smiling after 44 years — including the last four weeks on the road! It will be nice to spend tonight in our own bed! I thank God for Gene & his love & patience. There’s no one with whom I’d rather go through this adventure of life!!!

As I turn the page …

 As I turn the page to September, 

I’m grateful to take time to remember 

Rich blessings of family, friendship and Spirit: 

Sweet music of life — To hear it! To share it!

The end of month placeholder….

Here I go again. Last day of the month & nothing posted. 

I truly intend to hold this space for a recap of our wonderful time in New York. So many blessings; so much life & love & goodness. I pray to find the words. I pray to trust God with the timing. 

Never too late …

It’s time for my end-of-the-month post now or never in July 2026!!

I’ll share a realization I had today: 

Until they become habits, tasks  that may seem routine to others can challenge &/or overwhelm me. 

That’s why developing new habits — ways of thinking & acting — is so important. 

My reasons for not building some of these habits sooner doesn’t really matter. 

It’s never too late.

I’ve already started & this insight motivates me to keep on keeping on. 

(As routine tasks become habits, I’ll have more time, energy & brain power to invest in opportunities, dreams & true challenges.)

That time again!

It’s June 30, so I’ve gotta do it now if I want to post something this month. 

Today my thought is that the main reason I do this is to keep the account active. 

Maybe there’s also some hope that it will become a place of expression again. 

Not today. 

And that’s still OK.

Encouraging signs & wonders

I was grateful & amazed several times this weekend when situations that typically baffle & overwhelm me — often causing me to be late & extremely stressed out — went smoothly. 

The first biggie was getting the house in order & vacuumed before I left for Texas, & also manage to pack & leave on time with minimal stress. 

Another was when I set my alarm for 6:15 this morning & got up & dressed & made it to Cornerstone for breakfast 10 minutes early. And I didn’t freak out when I realized I forgot to carry to breakfast my morning meds that I take with food. 

This gives me hope that small steps of faith & progress could bring about tangible changes in some troublesome areas of my life.

The end again …

The end of another month with no blog activity from the spirit of Patricia!!
