Call Me Crazy …. But …

And believe me, I can't believe I'm saying this, but it is nice to see some real New England Winter weather today. Even though the impending Snow Storm wreaked havoc on my Fibromyalgia symptoms yesterday, I'm enjoying this wintery day.

This morning I thought Shrek had an appointment today, but he said no, it's Friday. With the winter weather getting worse later in the day, I told him I was not going to have the truck today because I was not going to drive in this weather, no matter what. I cannot handle the focus I need to have on the road, other drivers, it completely exhausts me (thanks Fibro!), AND I wanted to sleep in this morning. Guess What???

It Was “I” Who Had a Dr. Appointment....

Thank goodness Mr. M's office is within walking distance, and I was actually looking forward to the walk. It is a great time for me to be “Mindful” of what I experience on the walk, and I'd be leaving and getting home before the storm was supposed to get here. Leaving in plenty of time, I started on my journey, enjoying the chirps of the birds, paying attention to how individual cars' engines sound differently, noticing bushes with bare branches, and the trees with gnarled branches. Not to mention the Architecture on some of these old houses! (That's another blog, when I can take Shrek with me to take pictures of what I saw.)

If you look close, you can see a grapevine wreath, and a curtain

Check out this Re purposed Window Frame.  Not the greatest picture, but it is adorable.

One of the unique things about New England weather is how quickly it can change, and change it did. I was almost there when I noticed the first flurries tumble down. Light, tiny, whispy flakes. I smiled.......go ahead, call me crazy!

As much as the weather changes bother my Fibromyalgia, and I get chilled to the bone so easily, I missed the “quiet” the snow brings. An hour later, the flakes were tumbling more quickly. I bundled up with my extra wide, extra long scarf and began the walk home. A whole new landscape for me to see, and I smiled.

Call Me Crazy!

Joyce Meyer Tweets - Simple But Speak Volumes

This past week I've been busy with selling ebay items, organizing papers, my husband having lapband surgery (he's doing great!), and the kids being home on school vacation, so I've been very lax with my Blog, Tweets, and Pinterest. This bothers me, just a little, because it has become part of who I am (a Blog post on that in the near future); I'm just starting to learn how to juggle it.

In the meantime, I decided to post a Blog with some of my recently favorite Joyce Meyers Tweets. Simple, but speaks volumes. Many of these “spoke” to me. I hope you find meaning, peace, understanding or something from them as well.

Let me know which ones you like the best!

Your mess can be your ministry if you’ll have a positive attitude and let everything you go through prepare you for what’s ahead.

If you're too busy for God, then it's time to change your schedule.

Everything God ever asks you to do, even if it’s difficult, He asks because He has something great in mind for you.

What costs us very little may mean a lot to someone else. Take time to bless others even in the small ways

When you stay in peace, the devil doesn't know what to do with you.

Before you judge someone else, stop and think about all that God has forgiven you for.

Happy Valentine’s Day! May God’s love mean more to you than all the flowers and chocolates in the world!

If you’re going to do anything great for God, you have to take chances. You have to be courageous!

Deposit yourself with God, trust Him to meet all your needs, and get busy loving out loud!

Ask God to fill your mouth with the words you need to say today. No issue is so small that it doesn’t require God’s wisdom.

Don't judge others. God likes variety and we've all got our own little brand of "strangeness."

Place your desires before God. Pray about them and trust God to give them to you if and when they’re right for you.

Remember to give thanks to the beautiful Artwork God Does for us~!
