What makes one happy? At 44 I still don't have an answer to that. It certainly isn't my job. I need a new one desperately, but have no idea what to even look for. Need happiness, need enough money to make ends meet. I like to sew and do crafts, but run out of ideas and energy, and truthfully it just isn't feasible to make a living doing such things.
I want to provide for my children, I want to travel, I want, I want, I want. I think that is the problem. It is so hard to concentrate on what God wants versus what I want. Why can't I just give it to God and know it will all be fine. I just can't let go of the idea that it won't be fine. I am scared to end up like my parents. I have to pay my bills, they are obligations that I made and I have to meet those. Nothing is simple.
Peace is a true commodity that is rare to find in everyday life.
Such ramblings, all jumbled up in my mind. I can't even keep it all straight. Anxiety overload. There is only one place for the answers.
Mathew 5:44
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.
Make it a better day!

Last week my family and I, along with the min pin, went to S Padre Island. It was a 12 1/2 hour trip, one way. We had a great week.
The kids, and I, loved playing in the ocean and sunning on the beach. My son, who is 12, picked up shells, found fish in the seaweed and hunted crabs at night. It was a great relaxing time together and ended much too soon.
Matthew 5:16 (NLT)
In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everone will praise your heavenly Father.
Have a great weekend.

So, it has been a couple of weeks since I made my first, and only post. Here I am back today.
I have decided that I need to be more positive. Look at the positive instead of the negative. It is a great struggle though, with just every day life events, such as these two.
Our pastor resigned this weekend. Not sure what happened. Apparently someone was disgruntled and asked him to leave. I am sure there is much I will never know and there hopefully is more to it than just that. Anyway, I only hope the best for him and his family and our church as well.
My hairdressers two boston terriers were shot in her backyard this weekend. She does not know who did this and her children found one of the dogs, but the other cannot be found. Again, people who do not give any consideration to others.
These types of things make it difficult to focus on the positive, but I am going to try my best.
Some positive things: My family and I are leaving on Sunday to go to the coast for 5 days. I cannot wait. Some sun and fun on the beach. My husband and son are going to go deep sea fishing one day, while my daughter and I go for some much needed mani/Pedi's. The rest of the time we hope to just lounge around on the beach and have some good food.
Well that is all for now.
Have a great day!
James 1:5 (NIV)
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

So, I am not really sure what I have in mind with this blog, but it is something I have been wanting to do for a while. Some days, like today will be random ramblings.
Today I received my paystub and my PTO was incorrect. We have a new owner here at work, who is young, compared to me anyway, and thinks she knows how to do everything, even though she has never done any of it before. She is a therapist, not an HR rep. or payroll coordinator.
I don't have much tolerance for that sort of thing, in my opinion if you can't do it correctly then hire someone who can. This is the second time since February she has done it incorrectly. I don't think those are very good odds. She should stick to therapy.
Anyhow, like I said many days will just be rambling, but I hope I can brighten someone's day on occasion.
2 Timothy 2:24 (NIV)
And the Lord's servan tmust not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
This is something I must work on.
Have a great day!
