It's A Good Life

I do have good days believe it or not. Things make me laugh, smile, and want to dance. This blog is more a place to express my thoughts rather than actions so you don't see my happy side much. So I thought, why not branch out and do something different today?

I looked through my phone and found some pictures of my life to share. Hope you can relax and enjoy!

 
My Adventure Buddy and I both got off early and watched the sun set at my favorite spot before church one Wednesday evening. It was a wonderful memory maker. 


 

A little buddy I found on a walk with Grandma. She kept thinking I said  I found a "cake" and was annoyed that she didn't get a piece. 🤣

 

I went with my Adventure Buddy's family to a theme park. The Christmas parade was lovely.



 

My partner broke her arm a month ago so I have been doing both of our jobs. This includes activities with the children. I was so impressed and proud of their fall leaf creations!

 

My family isn't much for celebrating Christmas and growing up Christmas trees were considered scandalous. I made this tiny little guy and stashed him on my windowsill where it hopefully won't horrify them too much.

 

Accidentally went Black Friday shopping with a friend. Couldn't resist taking a picture with these gems. 

 

Found this book at work and it amused me considering my current living situation. Mom has asked me to bring it home so that we can both find some comic relief.

 

After three years of hauling the massive and extremely pokey plant inside and outside, we produced our own pineapple. And yes, it tasted absolutely amazing.


 My AB and I took his nephew on a walk after Thanksgiving dinner. I was not disappointed to stumble out of the woods and discover these friendly beauties.

Modesty: Is My Heart Really in the "Right Spot"?

  (I would recommend caution for young readers. This post is unusually gritty for me and may not be suitable for young minds.) It's a rare thing that I feel the need to add my two cents to a viral controversy but a recent influx of Facebook posts by some friends I once loved dearly has made me think a lot and you get to reap the benefits of this thinking! ;) The controversial issue I am speaking of is modesty.

My Safety Line in Depression

Image
I've mentioned in my most recent posts that I struggle with depression. This problem is not unique to me but I do fight with it more than your average Christian young woman. It all started when I was thirteen. An acquaintance came to visit our family for a week and become a good friend. When he left it suddenly occurred to me that he would never be coming back. We would never see him again. We would never laugh with him again. We would never have the chance to tease him again. (He actually left with plans to return soon but my premonition turned out correct--we never saw him again). At these thoughts my world tilted. I began noticing just how many friends dropped out of my life, older relatives died, etc. and over and over a question came to mind, "Is God really good?" There is not a more terrifying thing to doubt.
