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.

Dayful of Fun

Yesterday we adopted Callie and Jasper, two sibling 5 year old cats. Jasper is a jet black male and Callie is a pale female calico, and they both have stunningly beautiful, luminescent eyes and luxuriant fur, soft as a baby's breath. Right now they permit us to pet them when they approach us, not vice versa. They are coming to us more often all the time though, and it won't be long until we'll be able to make overtures toward them that are not rebuffed.

Baby Snooks, our aging bulldog has enjoyed friendships with cats all her life and would like to bond with this pair, but right now, they are not in the least bit interested. The cats have no prior social history with dogs, so they are not predisposed against dogs. They ignore Snooks rather than fear her.

Richard and I browsed around downtown Kissimmee today. We ate at a little down home type cafe and poked around an antique mall sort of place plus a generic style second hand store then went over to the Magic Kingdom this afternoon and stayed for part of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party this evening. Had a great time everywhere we went.

The only downer of the day was that Richard dropped his cell phone in the toilet and it now only works part time. My brother dropped his in a lake one time and had to replace it. I am praying over Richard's phone and have faith that it will recover.

Tomorrow I'm meeting my Red Hat Society group (We call ourselves the Vintage Violets). This month, the outing is to the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa. Half of us are already half deaf anyway, so we needn't worry about the terribly loud music finishing the job. I missed our last meeting, so am really looking forward to getting together with my friends again. I won't have to worry about forgetting what we're talking about because you can't hear a thing in that casino with the hard rock blaring full blast and all the machines whistling and clanging and ringing away. It'll be great!

Then tomorrow evening is Bible Study, so I will probably have neither the time nor the energy to post a blog. Talk with you Thursday.
