Wow it has been awhile, life has been very busy, with doctor appointments, dentist, and company and to top it off my old energy level has dropped to almost zero. Tomorrow is another day and it will be better. My son Steven has been staying with us and what a joy to have him around you know when they grow up and move out life changes, to have him back just for a few weeks is wonderful, he is recovering from a full shoulder replacement and he has three more weeks before he can actually move or do anything with his arm other than lifting it three times a day, physical therapy will start in three weeks and for him that is getting his life back. For Mom it means I will have to let him go again, being a mother is and always has been my sacred duty my life changed the moment I first set
eyes on him my first born I was no longer a young woman I was a mother and I always will be, so for me having him here under my roof captive and willing to play cribbage with me is such a Koo. I might add he is the luckiest cribbage player I have ever seen I win maybe one out of five or is that ten anyway I love the game win or lose, but I would like to win once in awhile. Now that he is fifty he looks so much like my Dad, that just adds to my pleasure of having another handson man
around the house. What a lucky lady I am. Now if I could just figure out a way to get my girls to come stay for awhile, I really can not complain about the girls they love to go to Palm Desert and we do spend some real quality time down in the sun. Steven has never gone to Palm Desert so this visit is a real treat.[

Finally finished
Yes I have been very busy and I am so happy to finally get a few projects finished.....I have so much to do to clean out my sewing room, I want to get my ducks in a row so to speak. So Here they are, the first one is a challenge, the quilt has already found a new home at the St Anthony's auction. Now I have to finish the quilt I am making for my son who will have surgery next month I hope I get it finished before he has to go to the hospital...
Our lives are so Fragil
We hurry through life day after day and hardly take time to stop and look at those around us. Not just family we always have time for them but I am talking about everybody we meet along the way; the clerk in the store, and the multitude of other people who touch our lives day by day. We hardly look up to see who they are. I have started a new thing. I have been actually looking and trying to get eye contact, and I see so many worried, lonely and blank stares. I am taking a step forward and I tell the lady in the red jacket "you look very nice today" it is amazing how quickly her demeanor changes and a smile comes to her face. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER, it is amazing how good it feels to compliment someone and I mean sincere compliments. "Your hair is so shiny", "you look very nice today", 'I enjoy your waiting on me", "thank you for taking the time to help me" and on and on. It is so easy to do and it seems to make such a difference in the hour by hour workers day, including mine...
It is so easy and so often forgotten, I have to admit I love it when someone compliments me...I learned a secret a long time ago and that was to just say "thank you" not "oh this old thing"? Accept the compliment, you are worthy to be praised, I am worthy of a compliment right? of course I am and so are you and everybody else for that matter....The gift of a smile or a compliment is free and it feels so good. It is so easy why do we get so busy that we forget this simple gesture.

Do we really need to be connected every minute?
My first reaction would say no, but let my system go down and I feel deprived, isolated and there is something missing in my day....Actually I get very few emails or comments on my blog so I really do not understand this sudden void in my life when my system is down.
When my husband goes out to the barn everyday and I do not hear from him until lunch or nap time, I am not at a loss, I am not lonely I know he is with me in spirit even if he does not remember my name...He always comes home for dinner and bed. I also know he loves me, but my computer does not, I know it does not love me...it seems every day lately there is some sort of glitch going on it is a mystery to me how I loose stuff or can not log in or forget my password or my printer is not working; now that really annoys me. It was down for a week I do not know why, but I did fix it, after a two and a half hour session with a Centurylink tech at three in the morning we completely disconnect my system and re-installed it...Yes I did that, did I learn anything, NO, well maybe a few things but I do not know how to put them to uses; still I am happy to say my printer is working again, why it stopped I have no idea. I have to say I have had several late night work sessions with Centurylink's techs and they are helpful and patient with old ladies who can not see where to reconnect the thingamajig. with questions like how do I tell which yellow wire goes where? and which one is which?I was actually on my belly trying to read something believe me it was not easy but I did it and my son-in-law would be proud he did not have to come over to get me out of my jam, but then again, he will miss my pie, I always bake him a pie for his being my knight in shining armour, he really does love my pies. Anyway everything is up and running for now I am a happy camper but I fear it is only temporary...
Yesterday I saw a very old lady, much older than I am trying to talk on her cell phone she was in the roundabout no less now that is scary, I am proud to say I will nor use my cell phone while behind the wheel it is dicey enough without any distractions...On that Happy note I say good night and be Happy.

Our Heart is crushed from this Godless act.
I need to vent, this of course is not politically correct but it is how I see it and I can not hold this in I have watched how our society has deteriorated and how God's principles are denied everyday in our media, now we are all shocked and dismayed about this horrendous act and we all ask why? how did we get to this?
Knowing that there is evil walking shoulder to shoulder with our children everyday, has become so real to each of us; what do we do to protect ourselves and the innocent? How do we stop it from exploding and doing it's evil on innocent people who are doing their everyday activities?
Who knew in their gut that this boy was dangerous surely someone knew he was a menus and was dangerous to those around him. Did the mother turn her head, and not face the reality of who her son was. So many questions, so many warning signs ignored, how do we become more pro-active?
At this point in America the young criminal's rights are more important than the law abiding innocent citizens and their children's.
In this society that does not acknowledge evil, but blames the actions of a young predators, on other influences, stating that he has been injured by others. Personal responsibility is not required, Citizens in this progressive society do not acknowledge sin, evil or possible possession by demeans, Satan or even Hell; because they are not connected to God's principles. Any thought of God in our schools inspires law suits that are judged in favor of the lawless who deny the presence of God or the mention of God in our schools.
Mental illness is blamed on additions, parents and everything other than the fact that there are people who are not socially adjusted and are not able to function in society without endangering the lives of others. They must be held and restrained for the protection of others, but no their rights supersede the rights of the innocent victims of their wrath.
We need to teach Godly principles in the schools along with personal responsibility for our actions. Judges who turn the other cheek and ignore the reality of the violent nature of the young perpetrator's actions and they release them back into society. Sending them back into the school system because it is their right to go to school, ignores the fact that they will hurt others sooner or later. They are releasing these dangerous people back into our communities and neighborhoods, they always give the young criminals a slap on the hand and turn them loose on society to work out their problems without any acknowledgement of the need to change the hearts of these young criminal's. Spiritual teaching is a tool that changes the hearts of the cruel and mean spirited people, whether they are young and old. but it is not allowed in our schools.
God's word changes the heart and gives a meaning to kindness to others, it teaches the lessons of the bible, it teaches personal responsibility.
There are thousands of non-union teachers, mentor's Godly members in our communities that could take up the slack and become mentors to these young heathens. It is not allowed, "no" Christian principles, the Jewish teachings of the Torah and other religious leaders are banded from schools not allowing them to teach the principles of God. The children who are members of families who do not attend church never hear, "Thou shall not kill","Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" or "thou shall not steal" "turn the other cheek" and that "God will punish those who sin and do harm to others" no everything must be politically correct.
The Godless rule over faith and goodness and there is no punishment for bad behavior...The mean and cruel kids are put back into the class rooms with innocent children, because it is the "law". This leaves the innocent venerable to the influence of the bad seed.
This is crazy these children need to separated from the innocent and given in depth training or containment before they can return to the class rooms.. The troubled child must not be allowed to continue to develop into a killer. If they continue to develop these criminal behaviors then they must be institutionalized to protect the innocent people who live their lives as law abiding citizens in our society. They must not be released into our communities to do their Godless deeds, our innocent and aged citizens must be protected. That means we have to change our ways and acknowledge evil when we see it and take action against it to protect the innocent.
My heart breaks when I think of the empty beds these little ones once filled with joy and giggles and their parents and families who are now struggling to cope. You never get over the lose of a child, a mother carries that grief to her grave, as well as those fathers and siblings, their lives will never be the same. Will yours?
Will you remember these innocent defenceless souls? Are you going to fight for or against gun rights? "Guns are not the problem". Will you speak up and get our school regulations changed so that troubled children are not put in with innocent children, did you know that when a young sex offender is transferred to another school his or her records are kept secret, the offenders rights supersede the rights of the other children and their parents.
You do not house wolves with the lambs, today the rights of wolves are more important then our lambs. If a child is incorrigible why should we be forced to have that child be in the same room as the well behaved child. Oh my goodness I could go on and on but the bottom line is we can no longer turn our backs when we see a problem child; somebody knew that young man was dangerous and they did nothing. Or was it that they could do nothing, that is what has to be changed, we have to change the way we think about evil and the mentally ill. We must act accordingly to protect our society, it was not the guns that killed these people it was a mentally deranged young man, a Godless man, an evil man, a coward of a man who choose to attack the defenceless. He went into a school where guns were not allowed knowing there would be no one armed to protect the innocent he knew he would be able to do his deed without resistance and when there was resistance he like the coward he was killed himself. It was too late to save those little angels to late to save the innocent.
Are we going to just put this aside and forget or are we going to stand up and say no more, no more.
