If I Could Tell You...

If I Could Tell You What I Know...I'd tell you to cherish your children.  Always take the time to tell them that they are special.  Never miss an opportunity, because time slips away in the blink of an eye.  


If I Could Tell You What I Know...I'd tell you to talk to God, listen to Him, give Him your time--He wants that more than money.  Lean on God, He's big enough to carry you and never let's go.  God is the only one who is truly dependable.


If I Could Tell You What I Know...I'd tell you to take good care of yourself and don't stress so much.

My mother passed away:  October 18, 2014
My best friend Gloria passed away June 21, 2015




If I Could Tell You What I Know...Cherish your mother, spend time with her, talk to her everyday, because in a blink of an eye time sweeps on and she's gone.  When she calls pick up the phone and talk to her--make the time, even when your busy and dead tired make time for your mother.  Talk to her, laugh with her, and make memories that will keep safely in your heart when she is gone.  Those precious memories will help so much when your heart is breaking and she is gone. 


If I Could Tell You What I Know...I'd tell you that is okay to cry as long as you have to.  It's okay to hold your heart and cry until there are just no more tears.  I'd tell you that your heart will break, shatter, and hurt when you loose someone.  It's okay to have all these feelings, feelings of sadness, heartbreak, feeling lonely, feeling lost, grief, and with time it'll fade a little but your heart will always be broken--but the pain won't be so sharp and endless--it will fade a little each day, but it will never disappear.  You will learn to cope better, you may still cry at times, but it'll get easier--I think, I haven't reached that point yet. 

If I could tell you what I know, I'd tell you to be kinder to yourself.  Do something nice for your self.  Take time for you and talk to God everyday and every night.
If I could tell you what I know I'd end it with never stop living and never stop living and vow everyday to create your own happiness instead of depending on others for joy.  Depend on yourself and God.  And, that is what I know so far...

Another day....

09/22/10


I was blessed this morning, because I woke up to inhale another breath of fresh air. I was blessed this morning because I had water to wash my face and brush my teeth. I was blessed with clean clothes to wear, juice to drink, and breakfast to eat. I was blessed today with a car that started and took me to work. I was blessed today because I have a job that I really love and friends that I work with. I was blessed today to lead a group and teach them how to journal to help them to relieve stress and express themselves. I was blessed at noon because I had food to eat for lunch. I was blessed this afternoon to provide transportation to my clients and take them to their appointments and to the food pantry. I am blessed by the clients that I serve. I was blessed this evening to have a home to go to tonight, a television to watch, food to cook for dinner, family to talk to on the phone, and I was blessed to have hot water for a bath and cool air conditioning in my house. I was blessed today to have a bed to lie down in and a blanket to pull up over me. Today was just another full day of endless blessings that God in His mercy and love showered down on me. Remember your blessings, and don't forget to always thank God for just another day....

What I like....

What I like....

reading on rainy days with my cat on my lap
hearing the birds sing in the morning
playing around on my computer
snuggled in a warm blanket and watching the snow fall outside
cool days in the fall
lightly warm days in the spring
the smell of poporn popping
the scent of roses and carnations
seeing my grandchild smile
hearing my grandchild laugh
eating Chinese food
watching a thriller movie--but not too scary
reading a book so good it makes me cry
listening to Adam Lambert
listening to Praise Music
butterflies
puppies
the noises a baby makes
children
dreaming
watching so you think you can dance
laughing
talking on the phone
Steven Hanks art
window shopping
traveling
and laying down on cool clean sheets at the end of a day.  These are just a few of the things that I like....

June 4,2010

Well, if I were still married today would be my 33rd anniversary. That would have been amazing, but I have been divorced since 1997. I still miss Andy and wonder where we would be now if things had worked out differently. I am happy where I am today in my life. But, I do miss having someone to talk to , someone to just hold me. But, then I think of all the nonsense that goes with having a man and a relationship--and I know I'm good just where I am without the man drama. I am at peace and enjoy life, it's just sometimes you think about having someone beside you--just sometimes though.
All for now,
Kat
