What About Me?

Now there is a good question to ponder

What About Me?

I recently celebrated my birthday.  

If you have not figured it out yet 

I am not a youngin . .

I am old more mature.

I have traveled the road of life. . 

 I can tell you it has not been a

fully paved, super highway.

It has been a bumpy, dusty road, 

full of potholes and dangerous switch-back curves.

Now where am I going with this?

Well let me tell you. . . .

Along this journey I have pretty much 

taken care, to make sure everyone that

traveled with me, was safe, happy and comfortable.

From the time I was a young child

it seems I have had the responsibility to

take care of someone.  Just make sure

things are ok.

Now at this time in my life, after

70 plus 1 years- - - I am

beginning to wonder

What about me?

Who is going to make sure I am ok?

Oh, sure I have a wonderful family

friends who care and a church full of

good "intentions" people.

But

When I come to one of those dangerous

switch back curves that could possibly 

take me over the edge. . . or

Sometimes it  is not something so

dramatic and terrifying. 

It could be a "bump"

that knocks my breath away.

Who is going to take care me?

Many years ago a doctor ask me

"Who takes care of Karie?"

Well, I still wonder and I am still asking . . .

What About Me?

January Ramblings

Well, hello!

I hope you are all doing well.

I have a few January ramblings.

Just me, and my life, and the

way I see things.

Isn't January lovely?

It has it's own unique beauty and feel.

I am one of the few who really likes this

month of JANUARY.

Well why wouldn't I?

I celebrate the whole month.

I have my brother's birthday

I have my son's birthday

I have 2 grandson's birthdays

I have a granddaughter who has a birthday also

And I celebrate my BIRTHDAY!

Yes, I like birthdays. . . I like growing older.

I know too many people who never grew old.

I am thankful the good Lord blesses me with life.

After all the totes are put away from Christmas

A little January decorating takes place.

Although it is about time to bring out a few

Valentine decorations.

I changed the grouping a little. 

My daughter and family gave me this

beautiful picture of the Savior

Jesus Christ.

The frames in the grouping are all white or cream

So I needed to balance the grouping when I

added the darker frame picture of Jesus.

No worries!!

I already had a picture with a dark frame of

The Salt Lake Temple.

It went perfect on the opposite side of the

grouping.  I like it.

Sometimes I wonder about all this changing and fussing.

Does anyone care but me?

Well, who knows, but I care

And I am important.

As long as I keep having those January birthdays

I will be changing and fussing about my house.

I live in a small condo, and I am happy.

I want to have an inviting cozy feeling,

So others can feel welcome and at peace.

I wanted the picture of the Savior

for me to enjoy, to remind me of

His constant presence in my life.  And to

let those who enter my home know that

He, Jesus Christ is at the center of my life.

He is at the center of my home.

Now I know that a picture does not give the peace

His peace comes from Him as we

live our lives the best we can to honor and love Him.

I hope you have the most enjoyable

 days with abounding kindness and peace.

Greetings To A New Year 2019

Well Hello

2019!

Welcome to this beautiful life.

It is a cold winter day on January 1, 2019.

Usually it is on the arrival of a new year.

It is January in Utah

It is Cold!

I have been trying to get my 

Home back to order

After Christmas it seems good to

try and get things back to normal.

The problem is. . .

Everything looks so bare.

Every table top and shelf looks

Dull and bare.

So New Years Day

I will spend time trying to liven the

winter decor to not look so bare.

Arrange and rearrange.

Welcome to my world

2019
