Life Unexpected

Life…Unexpected

O.K.

So things haven’t gone well in 2009.

Many things.

Things of which I have no control over.

But it hasn’t kept me from worrying, fretting, and aging myself by at least 10 years…physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

I’m taking the advice of my dear friend, Wilma. Time to get off my derriere and get a grip on life again.

Time to dress in my “cutest” clothes….as cute as a 70 year old woman can be!!

Put on my makeup (with a little glitter around my eyes), my dangly earrings, and my lipstick!

Even though we’re having the most frigid temperatures we’ve had in years and years, bundle up and get out of the house.

Do something to help someone else!

I will think of this time as the “fall in my life”….NOT the winter!

I will remember Paul’s words to the Philippians:

“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable----if anything is excellent or praiseworthy---think about such things.” Phil. 4:8 (NIV)

Well if we all just gave up, I think life would be a little boring don't you? God wants us to endure through trials, it makes us stronger! Remember, there is nothing impossible as long as you put your trust in Him! (((hugs to you miss Jackie))))

When life gives you lemons ... slice them up and use them in an exotic drink ... something with an umbrella in it
