Sick

The best part of being sick is ......getting better.  :)  I take for granted that I will get better.  I get sick, I rest (or I push on when I should be resting), and eventually I get better and forget all about being sick.  It is so easy to be ungrateful for my usually healthy self.  But as I have been "under the weather" for the past couple of days I have had the time to reflect on the "gift" of health.  And today I am so thankful to God that I am once again healthy.

But it does make me think of a friend who will not be returning to full health and strength.  How can I encourage her today?  How about you, do you need encouragement, or can you be someone who will come along another who needs a friendly word or deed? Let me encourage you to .... just do it!

Earl Grey with Honey

I curl up on the couch and look out the picture window waiting for the birds to come to the feeder.  I don't think they like this batch of food because the feeder has been full for days.  The citrus scented steam rises to my nose as I hug my favorite mug to my chest and inhale gently.  The first sip is always the best.  The warm, sweet, milky tea soothes my scratchy throat and the chill of the afternoon melts away.  I am home.

Just Do It!

After talking with a fellow writer and friend, along with the constant encouragement of my dear loving husband,  today is the day I begin writing for others to read. YIKES!

I have plenty of ideas, so let's see where this whim will take us.  I say us because I do hope that someone will read what I write and maybe share their thoughts as well. 

I am also hoping that the need to have fresh thoughts to share will encourage me to tackle some new projects and pursue different adventures.  So here's to taking chances and seeking adventure.  What are your dreams?
