Climate Change?

THIS MORNING:

I had a feeling that everything was fine with me: physically, spiritually, emotionally, and financially. It was blissful. Then I woke up! 😅😂🤣

I said to my husband, “Hey, it’s 24 (F) degrees out; not too bad.” He was amazed that I would say that. Actually, if it’s sunny, no wind, and you have the right clothes, that’s true. This ex-San Francisco Bay Area girl has come a long way! 🥶🥶🥶❄️❄️❄️

On Turning 70

By God’s grace, I’ve made it thus far.

Parents who first pointed me to God.

Mentors, who shared their wisdom with me.

Rescued from the Moonie cult after two weeks.

Two times had cancer, caught early. Two times in hospital with kidney stones. Doctors and nurses who cared.

Two wonderful children, and three grandchildren so far.

33 years of marriage.

Depression, anxiety, handled with faith, prayer, and therapy.

Friends and family who’ve stood by me.

All grace.
