Friday Cowboy Face

There's a new sheriff in town...

My father-in-law surprised me with a unique Christmas gift this year...a vintage Stetson hat. Yeehaw! I am having so much fun with it. It reminds me of the days when all the kids in the neighborhood would gather together and sneak off with their mom's brooms (or their dad's rakes), to ride away to a "cattle roundup." We galloped up and down the street, lassoing doggies and singing cowboy tunes.

When you're a child, the future rolls out in front of you like a super-highway, with a million different off-ramps, each one more exciting than the last. You can try on all the hats you want, and be a cowboy, astronaut, flight attendant, traveling nurse, Navy Seal, or just a crazy lady blogger. What hats did you try on?

***

 Glorious One, as the New Year spreads out before us, we are filled with hope for blessings and good things. We also are prepared for trials and hard times, because we know that You will be right beside us, every step of the way. Whatever befall me in 2013, Lord, I give it all over to You, and I will deliver to You all the glory. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

Oh, I love it! My problem would be that then I would want cowboy boots to go with my cowboy hat!

Have a wonderful week, Carol! :D

Female in Motion Health Update

I am at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL, tonight. I flew in last night, spent all day in the waiting room and appointments. I have a headache, my feet hurt, my burns hurt and I'm exhausted. Man, I hate it when I'm whiny. The good news is, I'm doing well. As Dr. Citrin put it, I'm one tough woman. He was shocked that I was able to travel so soon after finishing radiation. He took one look at the burns under my arm and prescribed some aloe vera gel with lidocaine and some pain meds to help me sleep.  I will start Arimidex this week, too. In the bad news department, I am not in any state of mind to write tonight. I have to be up early in the morning to catch a flight home, so I will say good night and God bless each and every one of you: for your prayers, for your support, for being you. As I promised, I will post the piece I've been working on very soon. Thanks for understanding. *** Notable Quote:  " John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave w...

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Too much of a good thing is not good at all!  When I was a kid of six or eight, I had an obsession. It was a food obsession, particularly with Chicken in a Biskit crackers. It was a doomed relationship from the start, because even at that tender age, I realized the glaring spelling error. I found a box of those crackers in the cabinet one day, quietly put them under my shirt, and slipped downstairs to the family room, where I proceeded to watch Major Astro and eat the entire box . It wasn't much later when my tummy started to protest. Too much of a good thing was definitely not a good thing. After spending several hours in the bathroom that evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Even the best food doesn't taste good in reverse. Since that day, even the sight of one of those crackers makes me  slightly nauseated. I can't go near them. Seems like a lot of us are looking for something to fill in the nooks and crannies of our lives. The temporary satisfaction that an...
