I have much work to do on this new blog with no clue as to how to accomplish that. Ah well another new thing to learn!

I am an early riser and sitting out on the back patio in the morning sure starts a day off right. I'll get it while I can before that Texas summer heat overwhelms us all. I have found though this year that if I spend the morning and evening out there it sure makes me remember all that I am thankful for. In this season of life (my almost mid fifties) it feels as if I am a real turning point. I finally stopped coloring my hair and you know it doesn't look so bad after all. I am leaning towards a more natural way of living these days. A calmer, slower approach since my children are grown and gone.

God closed a door for me in that I am no longer working outside the home but I am now able to help my parents and it is such a blessing to be able to spend this time with them. Looking back I see how it all fits in with God's plan for us all.

I also now get to spend time with my daughter. I am very much looking forward to visiting her next month. I ride the train when I go there and what a soothing thing that is! And I get to visit my two granddogs as well - Yogi the Beagle and BooBoo the Basset Hound. They are a joy and really you know bring such comfort just for their devotion.

So today is going to be a nice easy day. Will take mom on her errands and then I will have the afternoon to while away some time reading. I love to get lost in a good book. I will have to take some time to figure out this designing your blog thing though!

A scripture to take away - Psalm 37:5 - Commit they way unto the Lord, Trust also in Him and He will bring it to pass....
