It's been almost a month

since I have written  on here, but my life has been so busy and I just really needed the time away. Scheduling conflicts and real life family issues have taken the most of my time.  During the week I don't have any computer time on Monday and Tuesdays  evenings anymore.  Except on rare occasion. So unless I were to post early in the AM (5:00) or so I can't post.  Maybe if I wrote post on Sunday and scheduled them...but I like being able to spend my Sunday's doing family/couple things.  (Although I think I might figure something out for those days). I truly do hate being away so long, I would love to devote more time to sharing more, but I feel overwhelmed so much of time because I don't have it in me to share at the end of the day.  Is this making sense?  Can anyone out there relate?  Also, it seems like the longer your away the harder it is to get back in the grove.

I don't want to go into the family issues here, but let me please say thanks to you all who have prayed for me and my family.  It means so much to know that we are being lifted up in prayer.  Continued prayers are  needed.

Now on to other things that is going on in my life.  Work is crazy, alot of changes going on there, seems like it NEVER ends.  From my job demands too where I sit on a day to day basis. My hours changed back in October instead of going in at 4:30 AM and getting off at 2:30, I work 9-5 but with a 1.5 hour drive (one way) and at that time of the morning longer, it makes for a long day.  But overall I have finally adjusted to that schedule.  I am so thankful that it gets dark later.  Now I am not driving both ways in the dark.  :) 

I have been alone this weekend,  Michael went to Texas to pick up his new truck. So I have had a chance to work on some much needed things in my house.  I decided to spend some time rearranging my furniture and "knick knacks" on Saturday.  Oh I like it so much better.  It felt good to expend some of that bottled up creativity that was inside me.  I hadn't done that in a LOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGG time. On a regular bases I use to move and change things around but not so much over the past several years.  It felt wonderful and made me feel more like my old self.  I had several other things that I wanted to do, but didn't get to them all.  So they will go on my "to-do" list. 

I have also spent time doing some reading.  I am reading another Beverly Lewis book. The "SummerHill Series 2".  I actually bought 1 and 2 a while back and read 1 right away.  When I was ready to read 2, it was gone.  I think it got threw out with the bags or something, because I never did find it.  So last week while out doing some shopping I picked up another copy. 

Ok, I just felt the need to explain myself a little and let you know that as things are getting some better around here, I might be around a little more.  For the nights when I don't have time for a post, you can still catch me on Facebook. Is that addicting or what?  It has actually been very good for me, I have had the opportunity to connect with friends that I haven't seen in 20+ years.  From the early years of the Navy days - until now. 

Hope you have had a wonderful blessed Sunday!

Hugs!

I'm still around

Can't believe it's been so long since my last post, but life goes on doesn't it?


Not sure what is going on with me....but lately I don't feel like I have a whole lot or anything of any merit to write about.  I seem to have a blogging block and I just need to take a bit of break I guess. In case, I am not around for a bit you will know what is going on. My hope is that this is short lived.  I am on Facebook so feel free to look me up there.  Sometimes it is easier for me to write a sentence than a post.  Would love to add you to my friends list.  When doing your search to add me as your friend, use the email addy  cindybazzy@gmail.com


 I am dealing with some personal family issues, so if you think of it when your praying....please pray for me and my family.



Hugs!

The Concert

I received this from a good friend this morning, and it has a powerful message. See if it speaks to you as it did me.

When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage.

To her horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear,"Don't quit .. .. . keep playing."Then, leaning over , Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part.. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child,and he added a running obbligato.

Together, the old master and the young novice transformed what could have been a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience.

The audience was so mesmerized that they couldn't recall what else the great master played.Only the classic," Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."Perhaps that's the way it is with God. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy.We try our best, but the results aren't always graceful flowing music. However, with the hand of the Master, our life's work can truly be beautiful.

The next time you set out to accomplish great feats,listen carefully. You may hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit .. . . Keep playing."

May you feel His arms around you and know that His hands are there, helping you turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces.
Remember, God doesn't seem to call the equipped, rather, He equips the 'called.'

Life is more accurately measured by the lives you touch than by the things you acquire. So touch someone by passing this little message along.

May God bless you and be with you always and remember ,

Don't quit . .. . Keep playing."

So glad that I have

another day at home. I really enjoy three day weekends. Just wish that it happened every week. I took the time on Saturday to just lounge around most of the day. Doing little things here and there, but nothing major. Actually I got out for a bit in the freezing frigid temperatures to go watch the cheer competition. I would love to tell you that they placed, but they didn't but they did awesome. Actually I felt they should have won, but apparently the last stunt they performed was illegal (it disqualified them). After that little adventure we headed off to the mall to check on my boys and see what was up with them. I mean, I was going through withdrawals, hadn't seen them all week. Plus I wanted to give Wes his birthday present since I didn't get to do it on Friday. That was the first time I hadn't seen him on his day. :( While I was still at the mall I hit one of my favorite stores to see what was on sale. Found myself 2 sweaters on sale and got to use my gift card. Thinking that I would have to put some money with it, I was surprised when she returned my card with approximately 15.00 still on it. Woo Hoo!

Yesterday, we finally got things back in order in the house since the holidays. You know, moving things back to their assigned spots (if there is such a thing). Basically I had to make about four furniture moves to get my computer back down to it original spot. So with all that movin and shakin going on, I was pretty tired last night. Calgon, take me away. We took the time to vacuum and dust things real good while we were in the process, and my body just isn't equipped like it was when I was younger. Can you say aches and pains. Well anyway, I had them last night. But I am NOT complaining because I am glad it is done.

Since I have today off I have several errands that I need to do. My car is having a few problems, so I am going to take it into the shop and pick up a rental for this week. I also plan to meet my friend and have "our Christmas". With our schedule we didn't get a chance to do it yet. I'm also thinking about hitting the antique shop and getting my hair cut. I need a new look. So that is a few things I want to do today. That is if I can stand the cold weather long enough.

Once I get back home I want to do some reading, I have to get caught up on a bible study as well as some reading for my own pleasure. I am so glad that we cooked a big pot of chili yesterday, because we will having leftovers tonight.

This week my goal is to find my Valentine goodies and start decorating the house a wee bit. Now where are those boxes? Do you have any decorating ideas for the holiday? Got any plans with the hubby?

As you can see I have lots going on today. How bout you?

Hugs,
