A Busy Month
November was a rather busy month. Or Anniversary was in this month. We had to pay property taxes, due right after our anniversary. I had a wellness visit and then a follow-up medical check-up and our church had it’s Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner, Thanksgiving, and our son was planning coming in on the weekend immediately following the holiday.
I had a goal of getting my house cleaned up. I operate under the thought that it will wait for me when I get around to it. I really did want to get things looking better. I hope to do better with this issue of my life.
Thinking about 2025
I have chosen to plan for 2025 somewhat early this fall, but not really. This is December and that means we have a few weeks to get ready for Christmas and then the upcoming year. I hae already chosen my word for the year. ( I will reveal it in early January,)
Thanksgiving Plans
Our Thanksgiving plans got changed and then changed back and changed again. Long story short- the weather was not our friend. On Thanksgiving Day, Hubby and I were by ourselves, as planned. We decided to have spaghetti for our meal. The night before,I had made taco meat. We used the left-over meat in our sauce and it made a very tasty meal.
The weather here was more like the end of January than the end of November. He had purchased a big ham. On Saturday, we had ham, roma green beans, whole kernel corn, and candied sweet potatoes. Roger decided not to venture out on the roads de to the weather forecast. He has said he would be here this next weekend.
Prayers Please
I feel the need to truly search for outlets for my writing. I get discouraged so easily when I search for Christian markets. I believe I am conservative and traditional in my outlook. I want to do what God wants for me.
Our Thanksgiving certainly wasn't anything like we've had in the past, but sometimes, keeping with tradition isn't possible. Don't get discouraged about the writing/publishing. It will happen all in God's good time. Blessings, Cecelia!
ReplyDeleteMartha Jane: God has been good to us. Let's look at it that way. He kept us safe and warm. I am reminded daily that God has a plan for me. I know He has one for you, as well. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your personal reflections Cecelia, always enjoy reading about your life! It is easy indeed to become discouraged when it comes to writing for the public interest, but I have decided to do it anyway, even if no one would read it. I believe it is my God-given gift and if I can bless one person with my musings, so be it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marja. I find I am not as I need to be with all that is going on around me. Please pray for our world and for our various nations. Also, please pray for me. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
