So, here we are at the start of this blog and I am toying with the idea of pigeon-holing it by staying to one certain topic OR letting it be open-ended so that I might write at my own whimsy. I hear you laughing. Those of you who know me best are laughing. Laughing at the idea that I might stay to topic even if I were to etch it in stone and hang it above the mantel. There is no topic loyalty with me. You knew that. You also know that I will make up words...or...better still, use words slightly to the incorrect, but purposefully so as to make you wonder why that word didn't MEAN this new definition in the first place. My style of making you say, "Wait, didn't she mean to say...wait, did she mean to say...?" Yes, you are aware of my way of rambling and I suspect that's why you have come. For the rest of you...I hope you enjoy my sense of wandering as much as the rest...
A blog wouldn't be a blog without a little about myself. For now, I will stay to the basics. Mainly because I will leave here soon to start supper and it would be comforting to have at least one entry...well...entered. The need to keep this brief all hinges on the timing of one lemon peppered chicken w/rice and salad supper. You understand.
About me: First and foremost, I am the Daughter of the Most High God. I love my Father in Heaven with all of my heart. My relationship with him is much that of a Father/Daughter relationship that you would relate to. He loves me, I love him. He blesses me, protects me and teaches me. I hope to be a blessing to him, to bring joy to his heart...and I don't always enjoy all the lessons he has for me right off. Yes, that's right. I do not enjoy all the lessons. Sometimes I even argue with him. I pout. Sometimes I blame him for things he didn't even do. And then I realize my mistake...mainly because he was loving enough to show me my error in judgement...I tell him I am sorry...he forgives me and all is right again. Sound familiar? Yes, it is definitely a Father/Daughter relationship. He's the best and I am more than thankful. I also love Jesus and Holy Spirit. My relationship with them has transformed into something that I didn't even know existed. What started out as mostly faith-based understanding has grown into something so real I can feel it. Tactile Spirituality.
I am married to a wonderful man...and mother to the four of the best children EVER. You will learn more about them in my writings. Maybe it seems I am short-handing them today, however, I am always with words to say about them and remember the lemon peppered chicken? Yeah...I need to be light with my words today.
What else? Let's see how much I can share in as few words as possible: Rev.22:4, fried green tomatoes and walking in the Fall. Sparklers, reading and photography. Unfinished books: 3. Adopted. Enjoy most mammals...do not enjoy most insects. Gardening, flowers...canning food. Determined to sew...something. Music..always music. Doula, organizer...wanna-be-painter. Easily inspired, easily fooled...hardly ever surprised. Massages, journals and tea. James Taylor songs about my mom. Poetry, sappy love stories...never giving up. Swimming, softball...STEELER NATION. Road trips, tree houses and friends from long ago.
If the chicken doesn't get in the oven soon, we might be eating PBn'J sandwiches instead.
Love...
