<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Life is funny.
When you think you are taking steps toward something, sometimes you want
to run. I always start projects with a
vengeance. Trouble is sometimes I fizzle
out like that soda I left sit in the glass. I have six (hmmm maybe seven) books started
but not one completed. I am trying to
change this. Today I am going to pick
one of the books I have almost completed and put it on my desktop. Then every day, I am going to spend at
fifteen minutes or more writing the next few lines. I also will take some time to go over page by
page that I have written so far. I promise myself that I will not move on to
another book until this one is completely finished. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As I read over what I wrote, I wonder if that is a
good choice or not. What if I get an
idea for one of the other books? Should
I go to it and write the ideas down while they are fresh in my mind? I wonder if it would be better to just get an
amazing idea for one book and follow it through. See how I am second guessing myself already. I
think the fact that I wrote so many books (although unfinished) explains me as
a person. I love creating things which I
did many years in crafts. I hate doing anything
more than once. Once I create a project,
I want to put it aside and go on to my next brainstorm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I had a trying day yesterday where I hit a pothole
and ran into the curb and “broke” a tire yesterday which we are getting fixed
today. Since that happened on top of
things, I spent some of my day in our bedroom crying much to my husband’s
discomfort. Then I got up and wrote a
simple poem to help me through (which is what I do when things go wrong). I will
sign off with the poem I wrote yesterday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What is a blog? I have no clue. Why start one at my age? I really don't know. Will anyone ever see this? I am not sure. I am a 69 year old mother of 7, grandmother of 18, and great grandmother of 4 so far. I believe that age is not a factor when trying something new. I love my faith, family, to write, musicals and bingo. My blog will have some of my writings but hopefully also be spiritual and maybe even some weight loss information. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Taken from a poem I wrote a lot of years ago <u>No Footprints </u>by Ruth Crowell Shevock<u>,</u> my favorite saying is "When you see no footprints in the sand, remember God is still there holding your hand." That is how I try to live my life. Of course, I don't always succeed because let's face it, we all have our up and down days. I thought I would share this poem on my first block since I think it defines me as a writer.</div>

<div>
No Footprints</div>
<div>
by Ruth Crowell Shevock</div>
<div>
I've listened to the "footprints" poem a million times or more</div>
<div>
Of how when only one sets shows upon the sandy shore</div>
<div>
It is the Lord carrying us and taking on our load</div>
<div>
which is why only one set of footprints in the sand showed</div>
<div>
but what if when we look there are no footprints to be found</div>
<div>
all we see is plain and simple sand upon the ground</div>
<div>
no imprints showing that our Lord is carrying us through life</div>
<div>
Helping us when we feel we cannot handle all this strife</div>
<div>
Where is my Lord now I've fallend and can't get back up</div>
<div>
so tired and lonely trying to deal with my overflowing cup</div>
<div>
Where are those footprints in the sand to tell me He's right there</div>
<div>
Helping me with problems showing me that He really does care</div>
<div>
Does He have favorites, Oh No, please tell me that's not so</div>
<div>
But why does life seem easier for some people that I know</div>
<div>
Sometimes I just scream out loud although it seems in vain</div>
<div>
And often it gets harder each day to deal with all this pain</div>
<div>
And then it dawned on me as I realized how simple it could be</div>
<div>
I wonder why I was so blind that I honestly could not see</div>
<div>
It must have been a lightning bolt that finally gave me light</div>
<div>
Cause of of the clear blue sky, I finally regained my sight</div>
<div>
I saw a fluffy white cloud shaped like an angel dear</div>
<div>
That when I saw no footprints and so often wondered why</div>
<div>
My Lord carried me on angel's wings, when He decided to fly</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until next time Angelhuggz from me to you.</div>
