Life is good!

It has been a few days since I have had a chance to write. I have really missed it. I just have GOT to get a computer for the new home. That is all there is to it.

So I am expecting my son to tell me what to get so that I will get the right one. I don't think I want a lap top, but right now I don't have a desk to put a comp and all the stuff that goes with it. I really miss not doing the blog and all the other stuff that I do on the comp.

I could use the one at the complex but I want the privacy of my own home when I do it. Help me out, Son, please.

I thought I would be bored and have lots of time on my hands when I was in the new home....just down for those few days each week....but that ain't the way it is. Man! Do I stay busy! I really have to come home to get some rest. I've never been connected with so many "older"people in a church that do so many things. They lead exciting lives...busy with the Lord.

These friends in the old home are not as vivacious and energetic as the new ones in the new home. It is amazing at the places they go and the things they do. Never a dull moment.

I am making lots of new friends, now if I could just remember all their names, but I am learning some of them. And the neighbor right across the street is a widow, so we have kind of struck it up nicely together. She even went to breakfast with me and a bunch of the church ladies. By the way, we meet at the TRUCK STOP. That is so funny. When I tell my friends here about that, I have to explain that it is the only place in town that has breakfast. But it is very enjoyable, and we have nice togetherness, sharing, and devotion.

I take my cat with me when I go to the new place and he absolutely loves the house. he is even getting really good at traveling in his cage back and forth from town to town.

It's all so new to me. It is much easier than I ever dreamed it would be. Each time I go down, i take a suitcase of clothes with me and leave them. The first thing you know I will not have the right clothes to wear here at this house. That would be a hoot, wouldn't it?

It is a joy to be so close to my daughter and her family. Really am enjoying being with them so easily and so "impromtu". No biggee thing, but ever present and able to do it. Seems nice. A blessing.

It is still a learning experience for me. I am having to get out of my "comfort zone" and reach out to people around me, but they have been very accepting of me, and it always amazes me. I am truly blessed.

I go to the new place for 2-3 days at the time, and try to get things accomplished. Then I come back home and wonder what else I should take down there without messing up the look of my home here. There is no hurry and I feel great in knowing that and feeling no pressure.

Actually, the bed down there is in much better shape than the bed I have at home here and it makes me wonder if I should buy a new set for here, but then I think about the money and wonder if it would be the thing to do. Have to pray about it.

That's what all this boils down to, isn't it? Praying about it. About the new friends, about the move (when it happens), about what to take down there and what to leave here, the friends I am making and the friends I am leaving behind, my life in general. I know you don't really leave friends behind but I know, too, that I will not see them so often as I do now. I really know that they will not often come down to see me at the new place...after all it is an hour's drive away. But I know that God is in control and I praise Him for what He is going to bring into my life, here and there. I am thanking Him in advance for the growth and the adventures He is going to bring my way, the way He has already planned my life and I just have to have faith and open up the doors for what He is planning for me. It is an exciting time.

But I still need your prayers. Love, me
