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.

Sunday Again

Once again I am basking into the afterglow of a wonderful Sunday, my favorite day of the week. As usual, the highlight of my Sunday was meeting with my local church family at FBC. We usually go to the early service then Sunday School but today I overslept and we did "church" after Sunday School.

After we drove our teen friend Alex home, we stopped by to pick up some tables we had loaned to Pastor Rob's wife, Cathy. Then it was home to enjoy a lunch of left overs and some time of puzzle building and just enjoying being with each other. Soon, I became drowsy and took a nap. Like many TBI survivors, I often become fatigued after participating in any activity that requires me to keep track of what's going on, so by the time I've done church, Sunday School and a conversation or two, I'm done in... sometimes for the rest of the day. I was still groggy after my nap, but made a simple supper of scrambles eggs with leeks, prosciutto and cheeses, and cheese biscuits.

By ten, I began to get my "second wind" and am still up. No doubt I need to get my scattered sleep patterns under control. But for now, I am thankful for all God has placed in my life... the people, the pets, a nice home, enough to eat and basically all I need and really want. I am thankful for Sunday again.
