Blessings Daily 3

Today's blessing counted is our 31st WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
We had lunch w/friends @ my fav restaurant. Lamar will choose his this weekend..as this was spur of the moment decision.
Included with the above very important celebration is LOVE. Love of good friends,family and new FB friends, too. Everyone has been so sweet and loving in their comments to us today.
My parents were married 25 years prior to my Dad's passing. I always remembered that in my dreams for a future for myself and the boys.
It took 7 looong yrs. to  happen for us. God truly works His plan in His time. I knew when Lamar first crossed our paths--he was the one--I somehow just knew with my heart.
Ours has not been a smooth road at times, but we learned to work as "one" to survive and get through the rough patches.
Lamar was well informed prior to our wedding. I told him up front, the  only way he'd get rid of me--was to bury me!! I was determined to live within a successful marriage and not ever relive the agony and pain of a divorce. 
Lamar loves our boys and they love him, too. It is wonderful to find, fall in love and marry a man who (his words) "loves those boys more than" he loved me. That was the cement of the yes to  marry him.
I look forward to continuing our "growing old together" and "till death do us part" of our vows.
God truly has blessed us. I work very hard NOT to take this life and my husband for "granted". I know Lamar is the very best gift God could have chosen for me. 
Don't fix what ain't broke......lol

LIFE Lessons .....Learning Again !!

Image
This blog is a confession and statement of "new" learning for me. The "darkness" of an "acute" illness, and the healing from that, has been a reality check in full measure! I'm a Believer. I'm one who praises God, prays all the time, and am confident of the Love of my Father. That statement made -- I am still filled w/human nature and it's quircks! We all get "comfortable" in our everyday lives and routines. Well. Mine has been blown apart w/this "healing" process.!! It's going much more slowly than I would desire, and so much seems more difficult, and "lost" a bit. There are books written, quotes out there, and we all kinda believe --don't sweat the "small" stuff. Pfffft! It's the "small" stuff that's giving me such tough issues right now. Go figure! Examples: energy to "move" and do my everyday routines; insecurity/discomfort w/the thought of driving a car (not

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos
