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.

Blessings

I am still not quite up to par, still tired from my journey, I suppose. I spent much of the day bringing our financial records up to date and going through mail that came while I was gone. The house is fairly clean now, the laundry's all done and we had decent meals for the past few days, so things are slowly getting back to normal.

The International Food & Wine Festival is at Epcot and I hope to spend a day or two taking in some of the seminars and sampling the foods, but right now, I simply don['t have the energy. I've been praying about that.

Perhaps my reduced stamina is a result of sitting behind the wheel so long. For days and weeks, I did little but drive and visit and sleep... well, there was a meal or two in there, also! The bottom line is, I got no exercise of any kind and that will sap you more than you realize.

Plus, I've had some really bad headaches, seemingly more than usual. That, too, may be simply a byproduct of fatigue. A vicious circle... fatigue can bring on headaches; headache leave me exhausted... the only answer is in prayer.

On a more positive note, I had phone calls from two of my sons in the past two days! Also, I don't know if I wrote that I am a greatgrandma again. A beautiful boy, Conner. Dispite all my grumbling, I am supremely blessed and I know it!
