It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Byways of Thought

A beautiful, rainy Sunday afternoon! Church was wonderful... it usually is. I got the April Issue of Handmaidens finished a few minutes before April 1, so spent the biggest part of today relaxing... even left dishes in the sink... haven't done that in a while.

Richard and I went to Wal-Mart to pick up my prescription. He went in and I waited in the truck. Nice. I love Wal-Mart, but like most big, busy stores, it sort of fries my brain. Plus I always run into folks I used to work with and I feel bad I'm not there any more. I usually go back to the Layaway area and look at the manager's wall. I still get a twinge of sadness that my picture is gone. They left it up a long while after I got hurt... I appreciate that. They, like I, thought I might be able to come back. Now, I guess everyone has given up on that.


Nonetheless, life is good!! Last evening, Richard and I went to our favorite restaurant. Located a bit off the beaten path, it's in Isleton, CA. The food is wonderful and a friend works there, so we get a double blessing, not to mention the great drive along the river.

I am going to Stanford a day early this time. Donna and I usually go every two weeks and spend Tuesday and Wednesday there, but this time it's Monday and Tuesday. I had forgotten, but she faithfully called to remind me.

So now we've wandered the meandering byways of my thought processes and come to the point where fatigue has set in... All I need do is give God the glory and think up a title.
