Jumping The Gun

I didn't really want to put Christmas on so early but here it is. I am trying to change colors and such on the blog and it is not working so well. I can't seem to find all the places I want to change. It has been two years since I have done much of anything on here. Please bare with me as I re-learn how to navigate doing things on the blog. Speaking of two years passing since I have been on here to write, I was surprised. I am surprised every day that I have made it this long since my husband passed. I am just now beginning to feel as if I am okay. I can do this. I can live, breath, eat, enjoy, and be who I am with out my husband. I know more than ever that I never would have made it three plus years without my savior. He has been with me every moment of every day. The Holy Spirit has helped me to think clearly, to remember things when I need them, and to understand things that normally I would have relied on my husband to read though and then follow through on. I am so grateful for the clarity and comfort God has given me over these past years. So I am going to begin again and try to be back and engaged in writing again. I hope you have a great weekend and a wonderful Thankgiving next week, if you live in the United States. Take care. ~Susan

Friday's Fave Five:

1. I am glad the vet was able to get my puppy, Ruthe, in so quickly to be spayed. Everything went well and she is doing fine. 2. I love the new invention of the donut instead of the, Cone Of Shame. It is so much easier for Ruthie to get around, eat, and see with the donut.

3. I am excited that either tomorrow or next week, I am putting up my Christmas decor. This picture is from 2014. Dan was still with me and He was so great. He would bring all the Christmas boxes in from the garage the week of Thanksgiving. He would also set up our tree. I did it last year for the first time since he went home and it took a long time to put that tree together. Then I had to decorate it. I think tomorrow I will put the tree together and the next day I will bring all the other boxes in and slowly put all the decor up and the ornaments on the tree.

4. I am grateful that I have so many things, not mentioned here, that I am grateful for. I have a wonderful book that I write in most days and I list what I am grateful for that day. Some days there are only about ten things on the page and other days there are over twenty. 5. I am grateful for God's love. There is nothing better than God's love. I never would have made it without Him in my life.
