brenda’s thoughts, watch out I’m Christian

This morning
I’m painting
pictures
but I can’t find the bottom of my easel

Last night’s thoughts
I feel great

My health/energy is coming back

I feel like…

You know when the Silver Surfer is separated from his board or when Superman gets near kryptonite

When they finally get their strength back they always make that pose

You know

Legs apart, fists clenched at their sides, head held high, look of determination on their face

You know, ‘the pose’

I feel like I could do that now

Make the pose

I could be a super…hero

kinda

I could

Line all the cabinets and bake cookies too

Or

Trim all the bushes and cut the grass without breaking a sweat

I could be…

The Amazing Mom

Or the Amazingly Single Mom

Ha!

Now I’m just being silly

It is good to feel better

When I drive to and from work every day

(30 minutes each way)

I tend to think of it as a kind of competition

Who can get their first

And all the other cars are the obstacle course

I try to listen to talk radio

Cause it makes me drive slower

Do you know that my little boy

My doodlebug

Will be 18 years old in nine days

I love that picture

He was trying so hard to be good

Cause he knew there was a cake on that table

And he was about to get a piece

He was a big boy

He’s an even bigger boy now

6’3”

My new student is working hard

Bless her heart

I tell her,

“Everyone makes mistakes. It’s what you do after the mistake that determines your character”

Fred has adjusted well

He’s a spoiled bum

He’s a happy kitty

He’s asleep next to me right now

He’s always asleep next to me

Or fussing to be fed

Or held

Or let out

Or let in

Spoiled

Hey, today was great

I had a terrible morning

Everything went wrong

I had no idea how to fix it all

So

I cried out to God

And it was amazing

The great and perfect things that happened weren’t anything that could have been planned or made to happen

It was like good luck all day for my students

It was God

It was really neat because several of the things that happened we had prayed about in our morning prayer

So the kids got to see the power of prayer and the blessings of God first hand

Very cool
