Since I started this blog the photos have all reflected fall and winter life on the mountain, well summer has arrived! Sorry that I skipped right past spring! I wanted to update my site as well as share with you all a couple of new photos. This place I live is absolutely breathtaking in theContinueContinue reading “summer has arrived on the mountain”

I feel like every time I come to you there is an apology somewhere in my post…and here I go again. I’ve been absent for awhile, for that I apologize. Each time I post I say I’m trying to do better, then I don’t, for that I apologize. Life has not been easy the lastContinueContinue reading “Apologies….”

My best friend sings a song called “Patience”. “Lord teach me to trust and lean on your will. Should I get in a hurry please help me stand still. Patience is a virtue and a weakness of mine. I struggle with the outcome of time; would you build up my faith, teach me to wait.”ContinueContinue reading “Patience”

I came across this in my notebook today. I wrote in on 11/5/2018. I remember it well. I was sitting in a training class in North Carolina “living the dream” except I wasn’t. I didn’t realize it yet, but I was unhappy, not just in the job but in the entire experience. I wrote thisContinueContinue reading “How to live your best life.”

To say that the last month has been hard would be a major understatement. As you all know from my last post my father in law passed away unexpectedly last month. That’s crazy to me to even write, “last month”, time goes by so incredibly fast. As a wife, watching your husband mourn has gotContinueContinue reading “A devastating month…but the testimony is coming!”

Hey y’all, sorry it’s been awhile again, I think probably my longest break so far. I would imagine most of you know why. My last post was on March 20th and the first sentence read “It is amazing the roller coaster that one can go on from day to day in life.” Wow does thatContinueContinue reading “Reality Check”

It is amazing the roller coaster that one can go on from day to day in life. This week did not start out so good for me, if we are talking calendar week here. Sunday I was sad. Just plain sad. There was no real reason, explanation or event that set it off. I wokeContinueContinue reading “Just keep swimming”

Happy Monday ya’ll! I wanted to just type a quick post to let you know a few things I’m learning this week. I know, I know, it’s just Monday. But, I worked all weekend, so for me, I feel three days into the week already. As you may know if you read my last post,ContinueContinue reading “Things I’m learning….”

How in the world has it been 8 days since my last post?! And that was just a quick post of an unexpected snow storm. I know it’s not that big of a deal, but it really bothers me. I really, really wanted to be better with this blog about getting content out there. IContinueContinue reading “I’m sorry!”

Here’s a little taste of life on the mountain today. Another surprise snowstorm, that was supposed to amount to nothing! The first poc is from about 230pm, the second is from just now, 520pm!

Since I shared yesterday how frustrated I was with the rain, snow and mud I thought I’d share a positive note about all of that. The pics below are from my drive home yesterday morning. The sun was rising, the roads were drying, theyl sky was beautiful AND if you look closely you can seeContinueContinue reading “Bless the mess!”

I don’t know about ya’ll but I am tired of rain!! Where I live it feels like it has rained non-stop for months. Now in reality that is not the case, though we have definitely had a lot of rain. We’ve had breaks in there with some sunshine and even warm temps, but we’ve hadContinueContinue reading “Wet and Muddy”

I don’t know about y’all, but I love music, almost every genre. I love the music, the lyrics, all of it. Whether I’m feeling happy or sad, having a great song to listen to just fills me with happiness and gets me through. I thought I’d share my favorite song of the moment, it’s aContinueContinue reading “Music for the soul”

Several years ago I tried out this whole blogging thing, it didn’t go very well. I mean I wrote some great posts, people liked them, they got shared. The problem is that I had no consistency, that is something that I’m trying to change this go round. I haven’t done a great job of thatContinueContinue reading “Lord that mouth!”

First off I want to just say that I never plan to use this forum to promote my side gig! I will talk about it sure, but I don’t plan to push it on my readers. I am however going to use it today just to push out what a great opportunity I have available,ContinueContinue reading “A great opportunity!”

Here’s a little recipe my husband and I created the other night. It was delicious, hope you enjoy! Peach Sangria (Makes 1 gallon) 1.5 liter of Moscato1 liter of Sprite1 cup of Peach Vodka1 cup of Orange Juice1 orange cut into slices Stir together well then serve over ice.

Three years ago my husband and I decided to change our health. Not because we’d been given any sort of diagnosis or told by a doctor that we needed to, we just knew we did. We weren’t over weight, we didn’t want to train for a marathon. We just wanted to prepare for the factContinueContinue reading “The roller coaster ride of better health.”

Bored. That’s one of the key words I would use to describe how I feel on this night shift schedule. It is unbelievable how quickly you can tire of watching tv and scrolling social media. I absolutely love reading and have actually issued myself a pretty huge reading challenge for 2019 but even that doesn’tContinueContinue reading “Bored!”

Good morning y’all! I am currently sitting on my sofa looking outside at big, beautiful snowflakes falling from the sky! I am sure by the time most of you read this everything outside your windows will be white, at least those of you near to me. Just an hour ago I was quite disappointed. YouContinueContinue reading “Encourage Yourself!”
