their music or them click here to give a listen https youtu be nzqsxdfdcxc posted by bonnie at 6 53 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday may 21 2020 my simple daybook may 21 2020 our lives pass swiftly by we must find our own quiet place to discover who we are remembering and recording everyday moments are great gifts to leave behind the big things are important but it is in the details that our story is born the telling of the ordinary moments are the threads from which the bigger stories emerge these things are important links to the outcome of what our posterity will inherit from us these daybook posts are my attempt at it just for today may 21 2020 outside my window it is a lovely day birds are singing there s a cool breeze and our surroundings bring us great comfort in a difficult time the above photo is of our backyard and the beautiful raspberry colored umbrellas james got me for mother s day we have had various colors over the 42 years we have lived here but these are my favorite ones to date they just make me happy every time i look out the window or go outside spiritual thoughts we are in the middle of the virus covid 19 this pandemic that has rocked the entire world and brought much uncertainty to the future of all of us in many aspects we ve been sheltering in place now known as sip because everything needs an acronym right this has brought with it some really good things and some pretty life altering behaviors and practices the outbreak started in wuhan china and has pretty much spread all over the world we are only to leave our homes for absolute necessities and then we must wear masks etc all of that is known as ppe or personal protective equipment it has been frightening to see the stock market crash and the daily statistics on the deaths of many people all over the world it particularly ravages older people and causes major concerns for those with pre existing conditions like diabetes heart disease or asthma the reason i am writing things about what those of us alive already know all too well is that i want to leave some thoughts for future generations in our family my spiritual thoughts have centered around praying for protection for all of our loved ones and all those whom we don t know also gratitude for prayers that have been answered considering i have been recovering from five surgeries in the last 18 months and ill health for the entire calendar year of 2020 i could easily have been very distraught i have been sip since january 1 2020 the whole time i have felt a calmness that the lord will take care of us and protect us faith and hope are such wonderful protection against fear praying for all of us to be able to sort through the media reports with discerning eyes we are praying that we will do what is asked of us in terms of social distancing from others this is hard for me i love hugging my people we are still trying to find creative new ways to minister to others whose needs are greater than our own prayers have been bringing great comfort to jim and to me as we pray together throughout each day we have felt a comforting power in that what can i do to make a difference for people this is a good question and one i have given a lot of thought to recently ask yourself what are my gifts the things that come so very naturally to me how can i use those gifts to bless others for me the first thing that came to mind was writing i can lift and bless others through my writing like with social media posts on facebook my various blogs and of course one on one correspondence with people it just flows out of my fingers when i want to express something to someone that i care about when i write i can unjumble my thoughts and i love doing it people are needing friendship and reassurance now i can do that easily from home and it is so easy for me jim on the other hand is out helping some dear friends that are struggling with a life and death issue right now we can all find a way to serve in our own ways quotes i love i can shake off everything if i write my sorrows disappear and my courage is reborn anne frank and for my family history friends we work with names and places always the names but rarely faces sometimes it is easy to forget the face the heart the life and worth of the spirit of just one soul in the eyes of god author unknown these quotes remind us of the individual the one if we have neglected one of our gifts we need to start with ourselves and then quickly move on the others often what we see that we need has more than one purpose it is not just for me or just for them it is a way to lift us all what is your gift or purpose that may have been derailed because of life in general prettiest photo on pinterest today there are many gorgeous photos to choose from but i like this one today the babies our children are the hope of the future may we teach them all we can to make them happy healthy and productive may we teach them to have faith in the lord and to love and serve others thinking about how things can just turn on a dime in this life the only certain thing seems to be that change is always on the horizon sometimes things are boring with sameness and then out of nowhere something changes in a huge way then we long for that old familiar sameness but we may never see it again life is a journey with so much goodness and joy and also fraught with sorrow and pain and everything in between sometimes it s like a surfer riding a wave we just try to keep our strength and our balance and our agility as the waves crash down on us and hope we come out on the other side of it we usually do and that is the part we need to concentrate on and remember as we go forward worries have never helped us as much as preparing ourselves temporally and spiritually for what may come i am so pleased about the fact that we have been able to adapt to not seeing family and friends by using technology to keep us closer now we are using zoom to meet with our family twice a month where we can talk and celebrate various things and it has been fabulous every other sunday evening we meet with our kids and all the grandkids this is more than we have ever seen all of them with the milage between us all we have shared some great times and have even played some games that have been very entertaining we have felt closer to my brothers and our cousin as well with a dinner date every other tuesday via zoom also try it it is fun we are also texting more and calling each other more we have to find the silver linings in our troubles feeling excited about feeling better i must be getting old because i am still here my near future holds getting more of everything done now that i am feeling better movies we have seen lately the color purple so well done and worth revisiting very sad and thought provoking we also saw yentl a couple of weeks ago and you can see it free on youtube it was excellent we are watching the tv series madam secretary which is a 6 season great show we watch an episode or two every night that we can and it is almost friday night again not sure what movie we will see this week books i m reading i have a bunch of things going with audible i really like it and have a lot to finish before i get anything else that is new i have a crazy variety of things all cued up depending on my mood at the moment a photo i am sharing our neighbor s front yard our birdhouse on our porch banister two little wrens have featured it for their babies posted by bonnie at 2 42 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday february 12 2020 derailed but trying to jump back on track a very special day when we were here with jim s mom and our dear cousins jim took this photo and i love it san francisco our home base our lives pass swiftly by we must find our own quiet place to discover who we are remembering and recording everyday moments are great gifts to leave behind the big things are important but it is in the details that our story is born the telling of the ordinary moments are the threads from which the bigger stories emerge these things are important links to the outcome of what our posterity will inherit from us these daybook posts are my attempt at it just for today february 12 2020 outside my window it is a beautiful february morning sunny bright blue sky and no wind we had a huge wind storm the other day that blew over a huge tree in our neighbor s yard it fell right across the road that is the path i take to get out of our neighborhood it happened while we were at church before i left i was praying about the wind and asked that if anything fell it would be while we were gone it has been a worry for many years with all the huge trees we have fortunately we don t get wind storms very often this past year we have some cut down and i am so glad we did as much as we miss each of them it was the wise thing to do i am so grateful that no one was hurt in the process of it falling sunday morning and that our neighbors had no property damage either jim was all set to go and help remove it from the road and then the city maintenance workers arrived to do it it was cleaned up by sundown our tax dollars at work for a great cause spiritual thoughts god is in the details of our lives i have never known this so well as in the ls 16 months of my life the closer i have gotten to him the more clearly i see when you spend 18 months getting your body repaired with five surgeries and then a devastating reaction to an iv medication the first part of the the new year that lasted over 40 days you have a lot of time to ponder and pray lesson learned my spiritual growth is now my first priority nothing else is more important than all aspects of our health both spiritual and physical the whole package is the only way we can do the work the lord has for us to do praying for all of our family and dear friends that are facing many trials of their own when we open our eyes and hearts to others we can genuinely be a help and a comfort to them i really believe that the lord allows us some trials of our own to gain more sympathy and compassion for others it works is my testimony what can i do to make a difference for people this is a good question and one i have given a lot of thought to recently ask yourself what are my gifts the things that come so very naturally to me how can i use those gifts to bless others for me the first thing that came to mind was writing i can lift and bless others through my writing like with social media posts on facebook my various blogs and of course one on one correspondence with people it just flows out of my fingers when i want to express something to someone that i care about when i write i can unjumble my thoughts and i love doing it so why after many years did i quit blogging well i have had a lot of intervening crazy things and i lost my focus i had a personal revelation recently i woke up one morning and the thought came to me what if i laid in bed for some time with all these thoughts of how i could bless individuals every day with my writing a thank you note for something gracious they did for me or someone else a letter pointing out what i admire about them a talk that inspired me at church or in a class would be nice celebrating the individual in some way like a birthday comment about them on facebook or an actual card admiring a talent that someone so freely shared with others the list was endless and long i realized that when i bless someones it blesses me too so therefore i am back and hoping to revive my love for writing and for people to be my new quest quotes i love i can shake off everything if i write my sorrows disappear and my courage is reborn anne frank and for my family history friends we work with names and places always the names but rarely faces sometimes it is easy to forget the face the heart the life and worth of the spirit of just one soul in the eyes of god author unknown these quotes remind us of the individual the one if we have neglected one of our gifts we need to start with ourselves and then quickly move on the others often what we see that we need has more than one purpose it is not just for me or just for them it is a way to lift us all what is your gift or purpose that may have been derailed because of life in general prettiest photo on pinterest today thinking about so many of you that have blessed me and how i want to express that to you one at a time you are so important to me i don t want to leave this world without you knowing that even if you are a reader i have never met you are important to me i am so pleased about getting back to my keyboard my passion and my very purpose derailing is not a good thing feeling excited about the days ahead and hopefully no more illnesses so that i can catch my breath and recenter myself jim will be going to brazil this month and laura will come out here to stay with me can i tell you this is something that i cannot wait to have her come we have wanted this opportunity for over 22 years just the two of us it should be a wonderful and much needed visit i must be getting old because i look it haha and also because i feel it but yesterday i felt like 50 for a few hours and that was quite remarkable it gave me a little window of hope and promise that i can feel that way actually it goes back farther than that to when i was actually 50 and didn t have knee pain constantly medical problems can be such a deterrent to your plan i am so much more aware of that now and for this i am thankful for it my near future holds putting my authentic self back to work through my writing and connecting with those that i want to uplift through my own unique gifts this will be a win win movies we have seen lately the two popes it was excellent and we both enjoyed it very much we also have recently gotten season tickets to a little theater near by and we absolutely love it it has been years since we have done this and something i had missed for a long time we saw the glass menagerie last month and this month we will go to the theater on valentine s day for a special valentine s day show i ll report back i have always loved the theater and one of my secret passions is wanting to be involved it that some way like set design or something like that books i m reading some good things actually came of these months of being out of commission i have been reading a lot more and i have gotten audible through amazon and i love it i have read listened to several books already i read i know why the caged...
