A Wonderful Late-Spring Day!

What a wonderful late-spring summerish day! The garden is producing, the humming birds are arguing, the rainfall is adequate for this time of year, and life is beautiful. I am doing so much better these days. My Family, friends and neighbors seem to be doing ok. What's not to be thrilled about?

Well, I'm NOT estatic about gas prices going up on a daily basis. It is now nearing $4.00 per gallon. I need to relearn how to ride my 'ol bicycle. Food prices have jumped the proverbial gun, also. Whenever we go to the grocery stores, the items we purchase on a regular basis are always a few cents more each. Every trip amounts to a $2.00 or a $3.00 increase. That's a real downer. But, there's no getting around any of it. Life goes on and on and on........................!
I'm truly thankful for Hubby's garden! We can eat fresh veggies all summer long, and we'll put some away to help out with our meals during the fall and winter months.

I really enjoy eating squash, okra, green beans, tomatoes, etc., right from the soil. Our veggies are organically grown. No pesticides, fertilizers, etc. Of course, the insects and the animals get their share of the garden. So we have to plant enough for all of them. They have to eat, too!
The squirrels, rabbits, deer, field mice, ants, bugs, (all sorts), get their portion of our garden. They are entitled because they are all part of the natural order of things. Just leave some for us, please! Thanks! Life is wonderful!

Moving Forward!

It's due time that I move forward with my life; I want to do something meaningful. What to do? I haven't the foggiest. I am praying to God to grant me a nice position on the internet. I definitely want something legitimate. Or,I would love to sell nice things for the home. Items that are useful as well as unusual and beautiful.

I have been ill and depressed for a long time; almost a year. Now, all thanks to the Almighty God, I feel so much better. I really feel like creating something nice, or helping others or whatever else the Heavenly Father has in store for me. I need to be and feel useful.

I'll keep praying for faith to wait on the Lord. He surely has a purpose and a definite plan for the balance of my life. I can't wait to discover what it is. It just very well may be in my home or right in my backyard. We're always the last to discover the wonderful treasures that are all around us. Things that we take for granted can easily become our lifeline to moving ahead in our lives!
