Song:
Lord Make My Life a Miracle

These hands, just ordinary hands
Are called upon to meet life's extraordinary demands
These lips could speak the truth in love
But all would be in vain unless empowered from above
How could I ever hope to make a difference
Unless you work a wonder deep within?

CHORUS
Lord make my life, make my life a miracle
May your Spirit be the difference in me
I want to live supernaturally
Make my life a miracle, Lord, a miracle

This mind, teach it through your word
I need the mind of Christ in this world so distorted and blurred
These feet will run to win the prize
No stopping on the way for some enticing compromise
Jesus in me can make a world of difference
Jesus in me - the power of the Lord

KatieKate....I will second ladybug's sentiments....and add, from firsthand experience, nothing is more wonderful than experiencing/getting to know another culture firsthand....my little avatar pic is me, Mom and lil sis from 8 years ago. We were visiting sis in Ireland (where she lives). Mom was 87 YO and hearty as h**l 😀....literally she was hiking w/us over hill and dale.
So.....don't just dream it.....you can do it....Power on!

Wish I had a river, that I could skate away on....(Joni Mitchell)
But a little slab of ice will do....

Styx:
I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on
I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They said come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail…

Away on a slab of ice.

I want to spend the rest of my days enjoying life without stresses. I want give and make things for both my children and just have pleasant time together. That does not mean constant time together because I respect their private time as such as I want I nh private time.

I have a plan. I will spend the rest of my days traveling. I've laid out how exactly I will do it. I have planned out all the logistics. I measure my progress on the plan every week. I dream and research every week. It is my lifeboat. It is my favorite thing to think about...read about...dream about.

When my obligation here is done, I will hit the road and not just see North American...but travel and live in all the places that I have read about. I figure about 3-6 months in any one place would be a fair time to really know a place...then move on again. I even have the travel plan itself....but, it is constantly being updated to add more detail and places.

I am going to "do" it all. Or as much as I can before I kick the bucket.

The grandies are the best, sure that others will agree. Wouldn't want anyone to miss that all too brief time in a grand-parent's life. Blessings abound.

Sharyn,
Thanks for the reminder-retrieving a top round slow cook candidate from the fridge, flour, browned, then slow cooked , add potatoes and carrots later for dinner will actually save me time!
Getting out the new supply of sub-lingual B-12 for my dH, taking some myself will also help. It will help me to help him too!
A yay! day if ever there was one.

The aroma of good food slow roasting in the oven as I relax a little as I get ready to craft a gift for my grandies. Boxes I am covering in batman and superman fabric, then I will fill these small boxes with little toys like matchbox cars etc!!! It will be such great fun to just put something together for the boys!!!

Just because I am good at balancing checkbook, paying bills, budgeting very little income doesn't mean that it doesn't cause me stress, and it gets harder. I am thankful it is not high finance.!! The pressure to give money to dH to repair his computer is real pressure. He will have to wait. I will have to say no. No. NO.
So, when bills are paid, that time is my favorite time.

Oh, the original phenomenon was the christian rock, by Skillet.
Then, the beard subject came up.
No insults meant towards people who wear beards, especially Captain.

Goodnight Veronica. Did not know that it was that late.
I am not sure there is a beard phenomenon, it may have been pure speculation.

8/29/16 23.07 EST There I did it must be time to put the computer away. I did not know there was a beard phenomenon. My 46 year old son turned up last Christmas with one. I hope he has shaved it off this year. Luckily he's blonde and keeps his hair short so does not look like a terrorist. Night all.

Looking at Cesar Milan's website, it was his birthday and his own dog, Junior's birthday. When I first saw the picture of his beautiful dog, I had to ask myself is the dog's name Cesar, or Junior, because pictures also showed Junior's predecessor, Daddy, and Cesar's dad, (with Cesar being the junior to his Dad.)
Now, are you confused too?
The favorite part was the beautiful Staffordshire Terrier, grey in color.

Send I love Wayne Dryer. He is so smart. Although most of what he writes and says you can find in the Bible. Dare I say that I read the bible or will I be excommunicated from this site or even worse offend someone. :P

One of my pet peeves is to ask a question, and then have someone answer with another question. My husband does this all the time, but I did not mind it when you did it Churchmouse. But I'm not sure I got the joke. Is your comment a reference to Ebenezer Scrooge?
