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.

Busyness

I'm way behind with posting, but trying to "catch up" is impractical at best. Suffice it to say that we have enjoyed a wonderful visit with our granddaughter Tia who flew over from Misawa, Japan for a work related conference. That is certainly one of the perks of living in the Orlando area, we see more of our family because so many conferences are held here.

Tia flew home early this morning, but last night Athena treated us all to delectable Bubbalous BBQ. I had never eaten there before and it was quite good. I especially liked it that they offered their luscious BBQ sauce with a variety of twists from Killer to Sweet, to Memphis, Mild, Hot... and so forth. My favorite was the Sweet. Athena and Brian both looked spent. They had just gotten home from Las Vegas where they went in celebration of Brian's graduation from UCF. He's officially a computer engineer now.

Richard and I go out a lot and have been on the go almost constantly since Tia's arrival. We are going to a
Jose Feliciano concert tomorrow at Epcot. It's part of the series of stars they present during the International Flower and Garden Festival. But then we hope for a time of rest before we head to Utah for our family reunion in June.

And my day was like this...
  • 22:20 Leaving to pick up Tia and go to Athena & Brian's for dinner. Tried to post this hours earlier, but there was a glitch. 
  • 22:21 Had great meal at Bubbalous BBQ. Athena's treat. Said goodbyes to Tia and now we are home and very tired. 
  • 08:05 Reading in Proverbs and enjoying a glorious Florida morning. 
  • 10:34 Returning to the discipline and organization of my Planner. It's always chaotic when I become lazy or too busy to use it. Too busy? Ha! 
  • 13:05 Just finished Lunch with the Lord, my lunch, Bible reading, noshing time. I schedule breakfast and lunch with Jesus most days. 
  • 13:46 Gmail is being aggrivating. I am leaving to go to Curves. Maybe things will be better upon my return. 
  • 17:11 Had a good workout, got vehicle tags and bought groceries... now, with all food put away, it's time for pogo.com while I wait for Richard. 
  • 17:16 What is a Wii?
