May the 4th be with you...,

Good Morning Everyone,

My grandson woke me up this morning by putting his foot into my face, then climbing on me and finally by giving me kisses.....I was awake the whole time, but really wanted to see what he would do next. He didn't once cry. It was way too cute. He has his own little remote and I got to tell you, it's just one of the cutest things I've ever seen. He's also learned how to fight when getting his diaper changed. He is a strong child. He is almost 7 months old, does the army crawl, quickly, rocks on his hands and knees. He's just getting so big, so fast. So you can see why I needed to be strong, so that's why I'm glad the 4th was with me....If you're not a Star Trek fan you may not get what I'm trying to say and I'm not going to take credit for it either....my son is the one who said it to me in such a way that even I understood what he meant.

So what does this day hold in store for me? How about you? I'm getting a late start and for me, that's not bad either. My grandson is safely tucked away for his morning nap as I try to finish what I started here. I always enjoy Sundays because everybody slows down. Not in a big rush all the time.

My kids have a VUDU acct and have opened my heart to the movie "Frozen" as have much of the country. I don't know if it's the music or the lovable characters or what, but I can't seem to get enough of it. Even my grandson fell asleep drinking his bottle while watching it with me. You know, I feel a bit frozen lately, maybe that's why I've had such a difficult time with my exile here. My exile without car, money, job, insurance. It is necessary to go through this but it's not easy either.

I will leave you a piece of hope that I got out of the Bible. It's in the book of John 14:18 and in red, it reads " I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." This verse ministers to me because I kind of feel like an orphan these days. Be blessed and may you realize you're not alone, none of us are if we choose not to be. Please continue to pray for me and my depression and pain. And may the 4th be with you.... Love, Patty
