Energy ...

I haven't had any! I think I completely wore myself down to the point of exhaustion and sickness. I spent the last two days at home from work with a major headache, sore throat, a bit of dizziness, and a head that felt completely full. I've been battling the headache for at least a week ... I have chronic headaches, and take medication for them, but it hadn't been helping. That's when I know I have to just stop for a bit. So I did. Part of it is stress; part of it is the fact that the farmers have begun harvesting. (Today they started with the corn fields directly across from our house.) The headache seems to always be a combination of worry, fret, allergies, sinus.

Today has been a bit better. Haven't had to take a nap at all, though I didn't get up until 7:30. My throat hasn't been hurting as much today, only occasionally. My headache comes and goes. I think I'm on the mend! YAY!!

I've got writing projects to do and plan to complete a couple tonight time permitting. Working on my book proposal for Jane's story, and I have a Business Scene to write for Springfield Scene.

So, I'll close for now so I can move on to my projects!

Wishing all an evening of roses and rainbows!

Thanksgiving ...

This is my favorite holiday ... a time to give thanks, share fellowship and food with friends and family, with no other expectations. And as I look back on 2009 and reflect I have so much for which I am thankful! God is good, indeed!

Sunday's Message is on Patience ...

I really need to pay attention to this one. I tend to work hard at not asking God for patience. Just as sure as I ask, He gives me reason to need it! The contemporary services tomorrow, I think are going to be strong ... there is special music, drama, praise and reflection songs and, of course, a sermon. I think it's a topic (Patience) that we all need to hear about in our "busy hurry up and wait" lives. I'm sure God will be speaking to me ... come and listen to see what He has to say to you, too!

Services are 8:15 a.m., 9:30 a.m. (both contemporary) and 11 a.m. (traditional), Chatham Presbyterian Church, 1835 East Gordon, Chatham, IL!

Wishing you roses and rainbows today!

Beautiful day ...

The sun is shining bright and the crisp, orange, yellow and red leaves are gently falling from the trees, landing on the grass just waiting to be run through!

As soon as I leave the office, I'm gonna go to the grocery store and then for a long walk outside, I think ... kick some crunchy leaves along the way.

What do you do with your beautiful days?

Blessings!
