Why…
When we have something traumatic rock our the world as we knew it, we always ask “why?” God must have had a good reason to allow this happen to His beloved child. (Take it from an expert,) our Heavenly Father does inexplicably know us down to every molecule. He is not punishing us with our…

Good Morning
I was watching the movie “The Hobbit” today. A confused Bilbo Baggins greeted Gandalf with a “Good morning?” The tall and haggard Gandalf with his rustic cane, floppy hat, and bushy grey eyebrows replied, “Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning, whether I want it or not;…

5 Ways to Be Miserable
Life is a rollercoaster of emotional highs and lows. (Even a few upside downs!) We hope to be on the upward climb more than the down, but odds are, there will definitely be downs. (Either from our own stupid decisions, or through no fault of our own.) How we react to the difficult down times…

Knowledge
Depending on what type of stroke one experiences, some people have much or parts of their brain function affected. The stroke I went through didn’t touch the thought or memory section of my brain. I was foggy for awhile, due to fatigue, but I don’t have any trouble recalling currently. (If you ask my husband,…

Prerogative – 7/7/17
Prerogative is an interesting word. I thought I knew what it’s definition was, but when I googled it I found much more. (In my day, ohhhh I sound old, we looked it up in the dictionary or encyclopedia to learn more. Kids don’t even comprehend what an encyclopedia is! They were a set of books…

All By Myself – 6/30/17
I’ve had a lot of time on my own lately. For the first time in a long while, (before the stroke, I’ve had kids in my presence for a good twenty-five years!) I am essentially alone in this rehab home. Yeah, I have visitors (that’s great) but many hours of the day I’m solitary. Throughout…

Invincible – 6/23/17
“It’s a bird, it’s a plane,” it’s Kim! I had a dream last night I could fly. (Like a superhero.) My dreams usually involve something extraordinary, but extraordinary for me would be doing normal stuff lately! Some people have called me a superhero, but seriously, you’d do the same if you were in my shoes.…
-
Busy-ness – 6/16/17
My new word: Busy-ness, means a lot more than meets the eye. I spelled it like that so you would understand my inherent meaning. Filling your life with the same old: wake up, groan (since another day is here too quickly,) shower, rinse, repeat, eat breakfast (or skip it altogether,) yell at kids for not…
-
Peace – 6/9/17
We all wish for peace in our lives. No worries, no cares, just a mind settled and content. Free of cares and fears, a snippet of heaven is what we yearn for. Now back to reality… Its impossible to be completely carefree. (Like that innocent child.) We will continually have worries in the back of…

Comedy in Life – 6/2/17
Sometimes in life, you just gotta laugh. If you don’t, all that’s left is crying. (Don’t you agree?) When your day throws you a curve ball, have a hilarious ball! Look on the bright side, and seek for the laugh. It might seem a bit juvenile, but look for a connection in the conversation to…

The Monotony Funk – Feelings Friday 5/26/17
Times present themselves when the same-old monotonous days of your life become extremely tedious. You’re looped in a continuous funk. Drearily you think, “I can’t take much more of this.” Wondering to yourself, “How will I survive?” Each humdrum day runs into the next. I am neck-deep into that feeling right now. Here at Sunshine…
-
Hope – Feelings Friday 5/19/17
When you say the word hope, you’ve got to add faith. (They are synonymous.) Hope entails that you have a positive attitude. One must wish positively for what they truly desire. That’s one of the joys in life. But as you look forward to something, you must enjoy the journey. Like the seed that is…

Blame – Feelings Friday 5/12/17
After my stroke, I could be bitter with life in general. I could be moping around feeling all depressed. I could shake one fist at the heavens, and say, “Why me?” But I know a pint can only hold a pint not a quart. Meaning we are only given what we can handle. (Wow, that’s…

Anticipation – Feelings Friday 5/5/17
We all require something to look forward to. That’s what life consists of. We must have a string of exciting memory making spurts connected together by the same muddle-through routine days like a curvy line. A neighbor of mine once said, “You always need tickets on the shelf.”

Depression – Feelings Friday 4/28/17
This is a hard one to write about. I’ve been through a lot. My emotions are still as raw as the day I woke up in the hospital bed. I feel like my life came to a screeching halt, and I can’t get the engine started. (I think it’s flooded. Technical term.) I know many…

Hyperemotionaldysfunction – Feelings Friday 4/21/17
Hyper-emotional-dysfunction (my new made-up word) noun 1. Crying that is uncontrollable. 2. Crying that onsets for no reason. 3. Emotion, happy or sad, that goes on longer than normal. I am plagued with this problem. Ever since the stroke (on Prozac or not, it doesn’t matter) I possess way…

Gratitude for the Tender Mercies – Feelings Friday 4/7/17
“Genuine discipleship is a state of being.” Robert D. Hales told us in the October 2012 conference. I found this very insightful. It means to have the true light of Christ as shown in your countenance and acts. (We don’t just talk the talk, but we walk the walk.) You know those people who are…

Frustration – Feelings Friday 4/14/17
There are times in our lives that we so get so hair-pulling, eye-rolling, screaming mad. It can happen because of irresponsible kids, stupid drivers, or annoying operators. (Just to name a few.) I will leave out the expletives. Before we loss it, we need to count to ten while thinking about what their situation might…
