A sore throat is going around a bit here and my daughter is being blamed for it, lol. She and Logan did, kinda sorta, share the same space:/ At the worst point, she was not able to eat anything nor digest it. The pain was not worth a tasty reward she determined.........

Many years ago, a certain man was told to go to a land where the population was rebellious, restrictive, and constrictive. Upon partaking of this place by divine order, he was carefully warned not to becomecareless or infected by a callus culture where he easily could have compromised............

I have learned a lot as it relates to what IS really important to me in life. It's been a lengthy process, having come out of 25 years of living in a life that at times, I didn't have much control over. After almost 18 months of having my life in SoCal feel much like that past, I believe I am finally ready to turn the page........

I continue to try to help guide my kids the best I can, as they process the ills of adulthood or adolescent lifestyles without a husband here. I was in tears last night over it but, I am however, blessed to have a new "partner" in John, to bounce ideas off of and gain wisdom from...... and talk football with

During this experience, this certain man was asked to chew on and then digest words that would cause him sadness and lament. As he did so, the taste in his mouth would turn from bitter to sweet....... He had a lot to process and I'm sure he wondered if his whole experience even had a point, but the bitterness that could have broken his heart served to make his will as firm as flint........ and he was stronger for it.

Knowing what you want in life or need out of life is a very personal matter and one I've wrestled with. After chewing on the bitter for a bit, I think I continue to digest the harsh taste its left in my mouth, in a land of careless thought and ill intent.
I am now craving the sweets........
