Catching Up Again

I realize I have not blogged in a while and this will probably be the last one for a bit; life is getting really busy and even though I like blogging, I don't always have time. Today I am feeling a bit apprehensive and I don't know why; but I am going with the flow. My cousin wrote something on Facebook and I like it; she listed 25 things about herself; it was very honest and eye-opening, so I decided to give it a try; maybe it will give me some insight into what I am feeling, so here goes:

1. I love my family very much; I miss them more than words can say.
2. I enjoy being married, and I love my husband.
3. I like living in Windsor.
4. I could never live in Beaver Falls again, no way, no how.
5. I feel that I am misunderstood.
6. I am blessed more than I deserve to be.
7. I am happy that I had Christian parents and Christian upbringing.
8. I never thought that I would live to be the age I am.
9. I have always wanted to be skinny, but it is not important anymore.
10. I love the job I do and don't mind coming to work everyday.
11. I wished my sister and I lived in the same city.
12. I am proud of my son and love him very much, I only want the best for him.
13. I wish I got more hugs and kisses; sometimes I don't feel loved, even though I am
14. I love food; chicken, turkey, hamburgers, shrimp, salad and pasta; it makes me feel good to cook for people and to eat what I made.
15. Hershey bars are the best candy, aside from Rosalind Candy Castle's candy.
16. One day I would like to have my own apartment and a Jeep Liberty in red.
17. Sometimes I don't want to do the right thing.
18. Sometimes I get tired of being the responsible person; I want to be taken care of
19. I love to smile, laugh and have a good time; it is vital to my life.
20. I enjoy being with my friends at lunch; I feel appreciated by them.
21. I love to spend money on other people.
22. I need to be accepted.
23. I wanted more children, at least two more.
24. I am looking forward to being a grandmother one day.
25. I am thankful for salvation;I love praise service and being in the Lord's presence.

That is my list for today; I actually feel better for writing it. I realize I have a lot to be thankful for and I AM Thankful.
I can continue;
26. I love to go for a long drive in the summer, windows down, wind blowing, music blaring, iced tea in the cup holder, peanut M&M's at my side and a fun destination in place; at that moment I feel blessed.
27. Red is my favorite color.
28. I hope to be as beautiful a person as my mom and grandmother.
29. I wish my teeth were straight and very white.
30. I want to retire to Ocean City, Maryland and go to the beach every day.

I had a wonderful Christmas with my family; it did my heart a world of good to be with my family this Christmas; the food was good and the company was even better. I got more gifts than I needed; I did not want anything, but I was blessed. We had great travel weather, thank you God for hearing and answering that prayer; I got a new van, thank you again God, because you heard that prayer also. You gave me what I wanted at the price I wanted and right on time.

I was blessed to see the inauguration of the first African-American president, Barack Obama, and I cried big ole tears thinking of what my ancestors would think of that moment. I am praying for his safety, his leadership and that he would accept Christ in his life so that he will be the best leader for this country.

I am anxiously awaiting summer; we have had a lot of snow this year and it is still coming. I would love to go to New York City this year, even if just for the day. I want to see the sights. With the help of the Lord, I will get there. This is all I have to say for today.....until the next time, I remain a child of God.
