Good Morning Ladies~ will just tell you that my thoughts this morning have been a bit sporadic! I just cannot get it together for my thoughts are going every where! But I have settled on this and that I really think that I have my Mom on my heart this morning! About this time of the year I began to think of her more than ever!, for she will be gone 6 yrs. on Nov. 19, and this morning I wanted "Oatmeal" for it is a rainy cold day, and Oatmeal just warms you on the inside! {By the way that's what she used to say}! But anyway, and thinking on the month's events, will celebrate my daughter's B-Day on the 9th, my brother has a B-Day. on the 19th, (my mom died on his B-day.) and on to Thanksgiving! WoW! time is passing so fast! Why? in the world does all these thoughts just come flooding at the Holidays! OK, I will not be depressing today just wanted to share with you that in spite of~~~~~ God is Good! and the gratefulness that I feel this morning is so Heart warming! I just want to Thank God! right now this minute for that oatmeal, oven toast breakfast, a warm home, and that I am more than able to get up, clean my house, put on that pot of beans in crock pot, vacuum the floor, change sheets on bed, clean the bathrooms, and most of all reflect on the sweet and happy memories of my mother and the relationship that we had, for it was one of sitting together watching her fold my clothes when my children was little, or sitting quite often just having coffee together and just listening to her reassure me that everything was going to be OK!! Ladies I do really miss her for about the last 7 yrs of her life was a" Walk of Alzheimer's" and that was not a good memory of our walk together, for as Nancy Reagan put it~" It is truly a Long Good~bye."
*For Today~ I will think on my Blessings, and not my Grief!

*Quoate from Thelma Wells.......

*When we Trust in Him alone, life may still shake us up, but our Spirit will be safe in the "net" of His Love.
