AGAINST THE WIND ~ In A Good Way

My day started out good … and stayed good, all day long 😊

Against the wind.

With the frayed Nation falling apart due to a demented DC leadership, and society a steady freakshow – good days do not happen often.

So, I basked in today’s goodness 😉 

I set my geraniums out to soak in the spotty sunlight; they are showing new growth – like me.

The new growth starts slow.

Against the harsh winds.

Geraniums are leafing out nicely.

I pulled a pot roast from the freezer and got that underway in the crockpot.

Pot Roast for Supper.

I threw some laundry in the washer/dryer. 

And decided on a low-impact-exercise routine.

Despite my bum leg.

I am going against the wind … and trusting Elohei for the outcome.

I started another Sackett Novel: these paperbacks are slim, and the story moves right along; so, I burn through one pretty quick.

This is the last one I have in my stash.

I have finished my last cup of coffee; and am ready to welcome in the Shabbat.

In a hostile environment.

Against the wind.

I miss the sound of the ram’s horn!

Perhaps, one day soon, I will be dancing in Jerusalem with Yeshua, and Bob 😊

L'Chiam! To Life!

THE BRAXTON HICKS STAGE

I am doing better this year.

My thoughts are not so tangled.

And my heart is not so mangled.

Elohim has been faithful & true; there was never any judgment - only compassion and loving acceptance. I am thankful.

Yeshua has been my constant companion; lover of my soul & Husband to me - never leaving my side and allowing me to mature in new growth at my own pace. Yeshua knows me better than anyone: even better than I think I know me 😉 I am thankful.

Elohei has been the Rock I run to for strength, knowledge, & wisdom; and He has brought new friends into my life - people that "fit" my life - people, who, even if they don't always understand or agree ... support & encourage me. Good people. I am thankful.

To date, it has been nearly 28 months of labor pains as my new life began to unfold and take shape. Most days I am okay with the process - other days, I still move through this strange new life in a daze.

But the birthing process is never easy; there are questionable twinges that make you stop and think, 'Ow/Oooh/that hurts a little - am I going to lose it'?

But it's only an overturn twinge; and eventually backs off, allowing you to breathe easy again.

You become more aware of the undergoing changes of your life; excitement is mixed with cautious concern.

Then there is the braxton hicks pains that is a little more intense. These growing pains can put you in a panic thinking, 'No, no, no! It's too early!' You can feel things in your life shifting and moving ... but you know it's too early for the birthing; this is a time of paying attention.

A premature birthing can be tricky.

You are at the point now of wanting to be done with all the pressing and sometimes uncomfortable waiting - but you want a healthy birthing: a new life that will be strong enough to go the distance.

I'm at the braxton hicks stage.
