October Weather

October weather this year has been a gift from God. Bright colored leaves and warm days. A lady from church and I were talking one night, and she declared that this season is her favorite. She also said it was a short one. We have had frost warnings and freeze warnings already.

Our area has not received any rain to speak of. Our area and where our son lives have been under “Red Flag” warnings, (high chance of fire outbreaks.)

Kitchen Project

The painting came along slowly. First painter walked away from the job and could not be reached. With the doors off the cabinets, I saw the need to organize the shelves and get rid of some excess items. Thus far I have re-organized the shelves in our island. I have not started on the other cabinets yet. As of the last week of October, our kitchen has been torn up for five weeks.

Kitchen Decor

We finally decided what to put in my Home Interior ladle. It happens to be burgundy-a redo from when my dad and stepmother moved to a new house. I received it back when we had to clear out my dad’s house when he went to a nursing home.

The ladle now has artificial fruit in the bowl. I have placed some pieces in the bowl and hung it on the wall. It looks nice. I may choose to put something under the fruit to raise the level of the arrangement.

Word for 2023

My word for the year 2023 has two forms. I will be studying the scriptures for how God’s word instructs us on both.

Monthly Themes

I believe I have selected the themes for each month in 2023. Each year, certain months have a special significance attached to them.

Sleepless Night, Direction From God

One Sunday night, I could not sleep at all. I had these children’s songs playing in my mind. I had this happen at least one night before. I believe God was speaking to my heart as a result from somethings I recently said. (These things I said were not bad.) This experience has led me to write in another area. Please pray for me as I pursue this new area.

Balance Class

I am attending a class called,” A Matter of Balance” its purpose is to learn ways to teach us ways to be mindful of and help us prevent falling. It is a class offered by LifeStream (LifeStream Services – For the Young at Heart (lifestreaminc.org) ). Their mission is to help the aging population and those who are their caregivers. As I was looking this web site up, I noticed it is a central Indiana service. Maybe there is something similar where you live.

This is all I have to share with you until next time.
