-Challenges-

 I remember being told challenges make us stronger.

I hope this is true

because

I'm experiencing a bunch

one after another . . . 

and

Now,

when i think I can see the terrific outcome towards the end

at least 

where there seems to be a break

time to "breathe"

Another "challenge" pops up.

 

-dang!-

Okay, okay, we got this . . 

 

Looking forward to 

something

good

 

 

🎜Tell me something good! . . . tell me, tell me, tell me!🎝

Pen & Paper . . .

 Today's Sketch

 

and - I'm reading:

I've read one other book by Noah Gordon.

Both of them kept me good company . . 

This one . . gadzooks, it tells of another turbulent time in history.

I highly recommend.

In fact, I suggest we read all his books.

-Quotable-

 

QUOTABLE

It’s always such a joy that you wake up in the morning and there’s work to do.

—Jerome Lawrence      I hope you enjoy "Quotable" - as much as I do. 💙 -g-

hmmmm -

 I discovered a post I made - was no longer playing . . 

perhaps that is just as well.

Times are 

odd

hm???

 

SO, here I am

wanting to share a book that touched me:

It's a fictional retelling 

of True Stories.

 

It's a terrific thing,

having a reading list 

so I can move along to the next thing

 

Because

Important as this story is to me 

and

How I soaked up the story . . 

It's best for my heart

to 

"move along."

 

Do YOU have stories that rivet your heart?

I'd like to hear about them.

 

And,

YES!!!

I recommend this book.

It's about True Relationships

through very disturbing/difficult/hard times.

 

If you decide to read it

I'd like to hear about it.

What to do?

I was sent here to serve

a long time ago.

I'm almost used to the idea now.

 

There has been joy.

There has been abuse.

 

-sigh-

 

I am reminded of stories in The Text

servants were sent 

to attend to a task for 

The Master

and

things did not go well for them. 

 

Isn't that the silliest way to begin a new year?

 

ack!

 

I hear stories from all over the planet

that demonstrate this story 

 

It's time to celebrate!

Promises are about to be kept.

 

 Brilliant New Year!!

I used to

travel around this region

with my teeny camera

and

take pictures

to share with you

BECAUSE

this place is 

very different

from the place I came from

(where we lived)

 

Thinking to post something today

I found this

from i have no clue how long ago

I DO remember taking this photo

and

Today seems a good day to post it

BECAUSE

there was once

a young lady who 

said 

"YES"

 

 

 💙

-g- 

Yep . . It seems I'm not "HOME" very often . . . (sorry.)

 I am reading:

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek

 It has been keeping me company 

for a few days

-

It's really terrific, having my head in a book again.

The weather has been nice

(a gift this time of year)

So, Dog, Cat and Lady

Have spent time outside -

sniffing

and reading together.

 

I saw a page while looking for a graphic of the cover for you

let's see if i can find it.

 

HERE:

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_Woman_of_Troublesome_Creek

 

In case you're interested.

 

I'll make a point to "do better"

meaning, I'll endeavor to post way more often . . 

In between,

 please "wish" me well . . . 

I'm learning to overcome

one teeny step at a time.

 

Oh!  I meant to tell you

I purchased this book used . . . and kept it on my shelf way too long.

Now, I am sorry I did not reach for it sooner

AND

Real Grateful 

havin' it for company right now.

 

Wishing The Best of Everything to YOU.

💙
