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.

Mellow

I went out to Olive Garden with the Ladies Lunch Bunch this afternoon and did fairly well. I felt somewhat better and even though I was often lost as to the topic of conversation, the ladies are quite tolerant and since they all know I have some memory issues, fill me in when I am obviously on a different page that they are. And they do it so nicely! I always lead in prayer when we go out to eat and it's nice that it has become so much a "given" that ladies tell the new ones that I will be saying Grace.

Higgins seems better today also. He just finished another snack. I feed him about every two hours because he cannot stand to eat much at one time. He looks more alert this evening than he has in days. I am so thankful!

I read my deposition, over 100 pages! I am supposed to correct any errors... ha! I can't keep focused on it long enough to tell if there are any mistakes, but I know I told the truth to the best of my ability so any errors are probably still errors in my head. Oh well. Richard read it, too and kept laughing. I'm not sure what he thought was funny, but it wasn't a mean laugh. He never laughs in derision of anyone.

I played an online game on pogo.com with a Wal-Mart Asst. Mgr. from Wyoming. She loves her job and I enjoyed chatting with her so much. I miss Wal-Mart. Best place I ever worked. Too bad it gets so much bad press.

Richard will be working on Christmas day so we won't be going anywhere. Maybe I'll go to Disney and ride around on his bus with him. Also, maybe we can get together with Athena and Brian before or after the holiday... whenever we know what the rest of his work schedule will be.

I'm feeling quite mellow this evening. Sort of lazy and content to do nothing. That's rare for me but it's kind of nice right now and I am enjoying it. No deep thoughts to impart and nothing really happening in my head, so I'll sign off and go to bed, leaving you with a blessing and a prayer that you will know the peace and joy of God's love and see yourself as Jesus sees you.
