Oh, Add This to Last Blog - A Clip From My Prog: That Place in the Sun

Here is a little clip from My Prog 7-22-05:

You may not want to pass through the difficult times. You may be looking at what you imagine would be good for you instead of the reality of what is truely where your soul wants to be. In order for your soul to reach that place it will love, you may need to pass through difficulties, but Oh, the Joy of that place in the sun.

After the Heart Attack

Life is so intersting and reading my favorite blogs makes it even more so. After reading your blogs, though, I get to feeling bad, since I haven't posted for a coon's age (Hey, I wonder what a coon's age is anyway. Do racoons live a long time? If any of you blogreaders out there know about this, please enlighten us ignorant ones).

Anyway, I Have been BUSY (as usual) and couldn't get online. I know what you're thinking..."excuse, excuse, excuse". Well, my husband DID have a HEART ATTACK! And I am facing financial ruin, ha, such is life. BUT, I know that things will get better. So, really, in all reality, I must honestly say Praise God! Yep, I will do the Joylady bit again and say that I know this is for the best.

I have to admit, that God has never failed me. He has always brought me through the difficult times. He has always blessed me and my loved ones in the end. It just works out for the better. Sometimes the better means I learn what I did wrong, so that I never do that dumb thing again, but it DOES make me wiser, happier, and often even better off in physical tangible ways, too. So, I won't despair, cause I know HE is there.

I'm happy that Joe is still alive. He really is a sweetheart. I am happy, too, that I and my kids, too, will get to be with him more. If you read his blog - Driving Me Crazy On 18 Wheels - you will see how he is all over the country, but not at home very often.

He has been in the hospital since Monday and today is Friday. I am hoping he will call any minute to say "come get me, hon, they are letting me out of the hospital". Then, it will be a new beginning for us. A bit scarey, because of the uncertainty. It will definitely be a faithwalk.

I want you all to know, though, that I also am very very happy and thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life. I love how you show your love for me and my loved ones. All of you my sweet family and friends have been super encouraging and your prayers have saved Joe's life. I know your prayers will also get us through the difficult financial dilemma, and I thank you for that, too. You are all so wonderful! You make life wonderful. We are so blessed to have your love! Thank you.

A Draft I Should Have Posted Over a Week Ago

This is an older post (maybe about a week and a half ago), but I haven't posted in a while and this was left as a draft, so I am going to post it. Maybe it will fill in a few holes as it relates to what my hubby, "Driving me Crazy", has been saying in his blog. So, without further ado, here it is:

My hubby, driving me crazy on 18 wheels, has been driving me crazy at home, ha! I love him, eventhough he is a hyperactive goof ball, sometimes. I guess that is why he is a good trucker, too,'cause he just keeps moving his wheels and mouth, ha. Anyway, he is actually a sweetie, eventhough his mouth gets him in trouble. You women know what I mean about those times when our man gets himslef into a heap of trouble by being insensitive to our womanly needs, ahem. Well, they are just different and we have to train them in these ways. Don't give up girls, these things take time, and I guarantee you that there is no man on the face of this planet who does not need this training on the needs of us women.

Anyway, having finished with the training session, we are again back on track. We have been very busy, too, as our kids just attended a prom and graduation. Our daughter (Roses are Blue)has pictures in her prom dress posted on her site. It was great fun for us, too, with kids getting ready in our RV, and all the hubbub. Then Rosie and Ricky accompanied us to go visit my hubby's brother and their family. I had never met them before, so it was very eye opening and things began to make sense as we learned about family history. My husband's father just passed away, so we (me and my kids) will meet his mother for the first time ever at the memorial service. This is kind of sacary for "Driving Me Crazy", though, 'cause he hasn't seen her since he was 16. I guess he must have been a troublemaker teen, because he has been the black sheep of his family ever since. Of course, he is no longer that kid, but is a wonderful man now, all grown up, except for occational bloopers with his wife (ahem), but he is great, so I hope his mom will except him now and that they will get close.

*Since I wrote this, "Driving Me Crazy"'s mom has changed her mind and said she didn't want him to attend the memorial service. Sad story. She doesn't know what she is missing, 'cause he really is a wonderful person.

Oh, how blind we can be when we block out love. Blind to a whole world of growing and learning together and loving.
