Christmas is here,
a new year so near-
and life is so dear
look forward, no fear!
While strangers we~through life go
the trees are tight, the forest thick
True family we surely know
When to love our friends stick!
All is good to God’s own eyes
and heaven knows only just~
he hears all joys and cries
how good he is to those who trust.
Who can tell where the path leads
over mountains and under hills
through both glad and difficult deeds
but let us walk with joy
where Jesus wills. <3
I played with iMovie on my mac mini and my iSight camera for fun – took me about an hour or a little more to do this little video. Hope you like it!
Playing with the balls
Wheeew, I’m really tired! I got home safe and sound though, and my Christmas was sweet, if simple and short.
More on it when I get a chance to write about it.
I wanted to share a small clip of the music I have running from our CD collection though. Mike and I are great fans of an English musician, Mike Oldfield, and one of his latest albums just really catches my moods so well…
Here’s the short clip, anyways – there’s very little to compare it to.
Tears of an Angel
Well, it’s been a pretty few days since I last wrote my blog entry. Lovely how time goes by even when you’re up to your teeth in being busy, isn’t it? I’ve been out for foot massage three times, been to see my doctor once, been to the diabetes school twice (well, since the beginning of the month), made two beaded bracelets and ten.. no, eleven beaded snowflakes to date, and I still have four others planned.
Even all around this funky business of having much interrupted sleep and periods of really annoying blood sugar highs in the mornings.. (it has to be really, really simple, I swear. No long-acting carbs at night. Long rice,…
Ok, I’m learning I HATE mood-effecting pills. Things have been going much better since my last blog entry, but I do have more than usual to juggle because of the issues with stress/emotions/weather. I’m finally on a sleep-inducing pill to trigger proper sleep (of course, it leaves my mouth tasting like I just licked the biggest, nastiest pesticide-sprayed lemon this side of the world), Oxepax to depress racing thoughts and moodswings, and my normal antidepressant.
This IS getting ANNOYING even though everything’s on the Up-and-Up. Heck, I’m even going to get a new insulin pump!
Now I go Cleaning windows, to make an honest bob…
2663Here’s the music: Now I go cleaning windows…
The song is by 2 in a Tent, and here you can find out more about the music or buy their albums.
Maybe you read my last blog post? It’s full of memories and emotions about my dad and how troubled I was in the past about my diabetes. It’s still not – something I’m ok with, or even proud of, as my control over my blood sugar isn’t all that great.
I did get some time to chat with hubby this past evening though. He knows I’ve been under stress lately and having troubles with sleeping, and when I finally fell to sleep in the afternoon, he went down in to town to buy us some dinner. He knows by now just what sorts of things are the signs of my mind becoming overrun with worries, and he always lets me…
Oh, God, I know how much of what I write in here is difficult, dealing with negative emotions, or thoughts resulting from moments of sadness, but in all honesty, this page functions as a diary for me. One at times just needs to dispense of thoughts – and for me, it’s at times here.
Back in ’97, around the springtime, my family had just moved from Maryland to Georgia, following a job transfer from department to department for my dad in his career. Transplanting from one school and community was of course difficult at 16, and after that my real connection with friends and any leisure activities was really on the internet.
In one way you might say that from…
