I finished Angels Fall this evening. The story and plot line were good and kept me guessing almost to the end. I would have enjoyed it more if the author hadn't felt it necessary to use so much profanity, even when it served no real purpose to the story line. I have started reading Ruth Bell Graham and Ruth Graham's books ( 2 volumes in 1). I can't remember the exact titles right now, but I am looking forward to reading them. Maybe it will give me a new perspective on an issue I am dealing with right now.
I am enjoying rediscovering reading. Nice change of pace. Might even inspire to write that book I have thought about over the years.

Road Kill
I went to see my Jack last Thursday afternoon, suspecting I had pneumonia. It turns out I have Bronchitis. In his words; "Not pneumonia, yet." Got a strong antibiotic, Tessalon Perles for the cough, otc Mussinex to break the crud up and a shot of steroid to help my arthritis and lungs. I still feel like road kill. So tired of being sick!
Also, tired of feeling like my family is treating me like last week's garbage. Ready to trade them for a new family. I am just tire of feeling left out.

Family and life
I don't know if it is just because my back and TMJ are really hurting and have been for a few days is the reason I am feeling used and taken advantage of my a family member. I don't like people to ignore me like I don't exist. It's bad enough when I am not included in holiday gatherings or major milestones in their life. But, when they don't return phone calls or FB messages I get really ticked! That's ok, though. One day they will look back and see who was really in their corner and wish they hadn't treated me like crap!
I know one thing for sure and that is God loves me! I also know Pearl does too! She is the best listener I know!
My two new fur babies are settling in fine. I just wish they would start getting rid of the mice.

New Family Members
I have been fighting a mice epidemic for several weeks now. I have tried different types of traps with no real success. So, a friend brought 2 cats. They are brothers and beautiful cats. They have been here for a day now and haven't made an effort to catch a mouse yet. I am hoping they will settle in and start catching them soon. I haven't seen a mouse since they got here, but I hear one every once in a while. I am so sick of cleaning up after them. Washing dishes only to have them poop on them is getting old fast!
Check out my "boys"!

New Year New Goals
As a rule I don't make "New Year's Resolutions" because I almost always break them. This year, instead of "resolutions", I have set a few goals.
I recently joined an online book club. I have always loved to read, but don't always spend time on reading. This book club looked like a good way to motivate myself to read more and spend less time in front of the computer. I have set a goal of 100 books to read this year. This club's members share their goals and what they are reading and what they rate the books they have read. It is a good way to learn about authors I haven't read.
Another goal I have set is to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation this year. I have come close a few times, but Satan always seems to put road blocks in my way. Not this time! With God's help I will finish this year.
One more goal I hope to achieve is to pay off some of my larger bills. I have one I should pay off in May. Then I can concentrate on paying some of the others off. Like I have told a few people, some of my debt was brought on by bad choices on my part and others thrust upon me by circumstances I couldn't control.
I have not been making cards or jewelry lately. I hope once I get some bills paid off, I can afford to buy some new jewelry supplies. I really want to try my hand at memory wire.
I hope I can do some festivals this year if I can find someone willing to help me. We will see how it works out.

Dawson
My little hero, Dawson Lowe went Home to be with his Lord and Savior shortly after 11 last Tuesday morning. We said our final goodbyes for now to him in the Florien High School Gym Thursday afternoon. His services were held there for several reasons but, the main reason was it was the only place big enough to hold the crowd who came. It was estimated between 2 and 3 hundred people were there to pay their final respects. Dawson may have only been on this earth for 10 years, but he touched more people from more walks of life than most people who live 10X as long. There were medical people, kids, elderly, coaches, teachers, business people and bikers filing by to pay respect for the little boy who loved life and to make people laugh. Tears were shed and some laughs as the coaches shared stories of coaching the little boy who loved baseball. I heard more than one person say that Dawson taught them so much about life.
I know he taught me faith and courage and hope, even when the odds are against you. He taught me to play hard and laugh often. He taught me to hug whenever given the chance and never miss telling someone you love them. He taught me that is ok to get tired and need to rest. But, after the rest, get up and play even harder. I will try to remember all that he taught me. I know when I get to Heaven he will be there to meet me with all of my other loved ones. And I won't be surprised if he has a baseball bat on one shoulder and a glove on the other hand.
