she cannot

but maybe she will anyway.....

Dear World

 

 

Do you think things will be all right? How long does the world have till it is done? Will it ever be a happy, safe place to live? Is God tired of this mess? Why do we still have so many Haves and Have Nots? Where can we go to find peace? What if I just give up? Was it ever worth it?

 

I get so angry when I watch the news or read the paper. I get so sad when I see how people treat people. I get so confused when I think of all the good God has for us and how much we waste and ignore our blessings.

 

Oh, my dear world, you are so different from what I remember as a child. You are so not what I hoped to find by this time in my life. You are so close to being extinct.

 

What can I do to help but PRAY?

snow gives creative time

God can mold us into a wonderful vessel!

if we allow him

when

will I be able to create full time every day? will it make a difference to anyone but me?
I need time to create. it heals my hurting broken lost soul.

the simple message of Lent

count your blessings many times a day

clarity at the speed of color

we all have two or more stories

and the most interesting ones are between the lines of the public story.

my Valentine

slow down and enjoy every minute with those you love

It's all gone too fast.

invite your creativity out to play

An artist must take time to play, explore, experiment, and let the imagination flow.

try to smile anyway

a woman's heart is

always big enough...

It is what it is

 

 

art and writing beckons me

calls come and go

hopes float by

dreams sustain me

fears linger

but

pray I do

 

life happens to me

family and friends need me

joy is a goal

struggles cause conflict

worries consume me

but

pray I still do

 

the sun is my brother

the moon my sister

the trees are my monuments

the flowers my awards

grace is my home

but

prayers I lift

 

alone I am free

smothered I falter

love strengthens me

hatred weakens me

mercy is my support

but

prayers I make

                                  

Devotionals give us words to consider and focus on for our needs

this devotional page is 4 1/2 years old but it spoke to me then and it still does today...

recognize your blessings and gifts and talents and SHARE THEM

where did her life go

Life has a way of getting past before we live in the present. Alzheimer's Disease speeds up the process. As a person's memories are twisted and confused and worse, taken completely, we wonder where did the life go?

cut up and have fun

one way to make it through this life

there is a time for ugly art

Alzheimer is a cruel thing....

 

 

dementia is cruel, it robs loved ones as they were and the rest of us as we are...

memories fade and reverse and confuse.....

 

 

if only there was a cure

use what you have
