Taking walks...

I think I got overly excited about being able to go walking today. My second walk did me in for a while... :-(

Sunshine & Spring..

I am soooo very thankful that Spring is on the way!! The last two days I have been able to get out and take a walk, which I can't do in the winter (it is tooo cold for me :-) Even though is takes me time to adjust to Daylight savings time (and losing an hour of sleep) I am glad that I will be able to be outside in the sunshine more and drive with my sunroof open and be more active (and maybe lose a little weight :-)

See what others are grateful for on this Gratituesday!

Time for a change...

How do you like it??? :-)

For Ellie...

I realized it's been two months since I've done this- needed a new one (or two) for all the neices :-)





Enjoy!
Love you all!
Auntie Suez :-)

Home Computers in 1954...

The caption reads:
"Scientists from the RAND Corporation have created this model to illustrate how a “home computer” could look like in the year 2004. However the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home. Also the scientists readily admit that the computer will require not yet invented technology to actually work, but 50 years from now scientific progress is expected to solve these problems. With teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use."

I am so thankful computers have evolved the way they have, and NOT like they predicted in this article! I don't know how I'd survive without the almost instant contact with my family and buddies that email and blogging affords me!!!

Below the belt...

That's where satan likes to throw those sucker punches...As if doubting myself wasn't enough- now he makes me doubt my role in the church. I was alredy doubting that, ever since I've moved, I don't quite feel like I fit in at the church down here, and my home church in Pueblo (the one I grew up in, since I was two weeks old) has changed so much since we moved down here that I feel more and more like a visitor everytime we go there.
So today, there was a men's meeting with our newly installed elders at 2p. Then, at 5p was supposed to be a ladies meeting (why they couldn't coordinate better is beyond me) to discuss the planning of a Ladies Day to be hosted at our church. Two of the women even made sure to ask me this morning if I was coming to it. Well, I was the ONLY one who showed up for the meeting. Everyone else got a phone call that it had been cancelled.
And my head says I know that it was an honest mistake, but my heart says "Why bother? Why try? I'm never gonna feel like I belong here..." But I want my heart to not feel that way, but I guess the baggage I carry will make this a fight I'll have with myself over and over, satan knows where to hit the hardest...

Crazy times...

It was 70+ degrees here yestrday- it was beautiful & WARM!!! It's snowing outside now... this time of year is soooo crazy when it comes to weather. Add to that the crazy amount of flu cases this year and it makes for quite a bit of craziness. The nursing homes and hospital in our county all have restrictions on who can come and go- and everyone coming has to put on masks and gloves or sanitizer. There were 7 gone from my office with this crud on Monday. Thankfully, G and I seem to be over the worst of it (the head nurse where G works said it sounded like he had two different viruses working on him- that's G for you- has to be difficult! :-)
The bugs were all sick Friday night at my parents' though, so hopefully we didn't expose ourselves to another round. Taterbug coughed to hard that she urped all over Bug-a-boo! :-0 I was very proud of G, too, he didn't urp when he heard/saw/smelt it (he was sitting right behind them).

I need to ask for your prayers right now. I have had a rough week, emotionally. I have felt like I have been a failure at everything I have attempted this week. My house was in total disarry (G- my wonderful husband, helped a lot yesterday in getting it back in order), my itty bitty paycheck makes me feel like I need to find another job to help get some of my old medical bills paid off, overall it's just been a discouraging week for me. Please pray that I can get a better grip on things, and be more organized so that I don't feel so overwhelmed all the time.
