Musings

Thank you for your lovely comments regarding my new, my one and only, precious little grandson. I will be visiting him again tomorrow and am looking forward to covering him in kisses.

It's interesting that I have my list of blogs that I take a look at daily and have totally neglected my own. Somewhere in my mind today, I thought, hey, what about your own blog?? So here I am.

It's a rainy day here in South Florida today. I couldn't help but wish this rain could be transported to California to give all some relief. It is another reminder of just how little control we truly have over so many things. What I have been hearing though, is an incredible perseverance. The human resolve is incredibly strong. God truly made us into wonderfully strong creatures. I don't think we even begin to tap into what we are really capable of being.

I have had this urge to challenge myself lately. I think it is because of this line of thought. I know He challenges my inner strength.....sometimes daily. When I make it over a hill that I thought I couldn't climb (and I mean emotionally), I just say, "WOW! You are incredible Lord. Please don't give up on me!" So I guess now I think, well if I can do it emotionally, I bet I can do it physically. This line of thought is forming.....ideas are coming to mind.....I haven't followed through yet. The bud of this flower is just starting to open. I'm going to do something!!! I just don't know what, yet. More on this to follow.

This is the book I have been reading for the last couple of days. I will finish it today. I'm enjoying it and recommend it. It is a memoir really, but I am gaining insight from this woman's journey. And of course, I am loving what I am learning about horses. I love them and would love to own one some day. I'm wondering if at 44 I am too old to learn to ride. Did anyone just catch that? Could this be the challenge I've been searching for? Hmmmmm.......

I have a busy weekend ahead of me and am really hoping to fit in a visit to the Lincoln Road Antique Collectible Market in Miami. It's about an hours drive away.....not bad. I was surprised to learn about this in Country Home magazine and to find out it is basically in my own back yard. It is now the season for this show that runs every other Sunday. How exciting! I'm not going down there with any preconceived ideas, but am hoping to bring back a few treasures. I'll blog some pictures next week.

Have an enjoyable weekend. Find your own peace and waller in it!!
