  • holiday weekend

    it is the day after Thanksgiving.  and it is snowing here!! just spitting, but there is snow there.  so it is much colder than earlier in the week.  we had dinner at sam's family last night.  i did the desserts. always good food, too much food, and catching up on the family drama.  somehow i think after a number of years of being married into a family there should be a big therapy session and everyone should speak their mind in love.  i don't know how it would go over, but it  might help.  there is too much not said.  too much denial or speaking behind other people's backs. 
    i have a paper to finish for school.  and this week i learned of a very good friend just diagnosed with breast cancer.  last night we learned of a family member also diagnosed with breast cancer - stage 2- spread into the arm lymph already.  reality hurts.  life is short.  and fake conversations at the dinner table are not worth it.  we are all broken and wounded and in pain.
    i have a turkey for today.  i am brining it.  put it in the brine yesterday.....so i am excited to see how it tastes.  will do sausage and apple stuffing, and green bean casserole...and salad.  and then tomorrow we get leftovers!!!!

  • must i admit everything?

    tonight a friend asked me this....she is seeing a therapist and has just begun the process of understanding who she is...and why.  it is the why that all of us must deal with at times.  so must she tell everything?  i answered yes, in time.  if she doesn't she won't be able to understand some of herself.  i asked if she tells the Lord everything?  does she reveal her heart to Him?  she must...for He is the Healer.  and if He chooses to work through a person He will.  the pain of brokenness, the anguish of hurt, the destructiveness of lies.  so much, but it must be dealt with. and understood.  because she is of such great value to the One that created her. 
    i have been gone for a while.  my semester is crazy...lots of grading, writing papers for class, just life.  when did it get this way?  i feel like a hamster on a little wheel ~ spinning and going nowhere....i pray for snow days...a blizzard.  i know, that is bad...but it would be great so long as we had water and electric.  not too selfish am i??? ha, ha!!  more later...blessings to all...
