SILENCE CAN BE GOLDEN

The past couple of weeks have been a vague meshing of thoughts, highs and lows, energy and exhaustion.  Mix in a measure of illness and thoughts of spending your last moments of life and you have a concoction of poison which would destroy even the strongest of heart.  For the past week, this has been my walk.  Whenever we work hard to achieve something good there are bound to be moments of doubt – fear – helplessness – failure – but on the other hand, a job well done – instilling some learning into young minds – building others up – finally accomplishing your goal.

During this past week, my mind has been far from putting words on paper.  All I could do was think about getting physically well again.  As I age, I should know I can’t do the things I was capable of years ago.  I should accept that fact and try not to bite off more than I can chew.  There is something within me that has a hard time with that.  Maybe it’s a strong work ethic – maybe it’s wanting to be useful – maybe it’s insanity.  Whatever the case, I felt it best to keep my pen dry for a while.  Sometimes when we don’t feel well or are overwhelmed, it’s best to be quiet.

My mind is working on some new ideas for my blog and hopefully this time off will allow me to formulate that.  In the meantime, I’m re-posting a few and sharing some of Paul’s art.  No winter funnies for the moment.  The snow is flying up here and it isn’t the least bit funny anymore.

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

    God’s blessings to you–as he knows what is best, and I don’t know what to ask on your behalf. J.

    This sounds like something my parents would say i was growing up. I was a quiet girl, and so quiet I went walking with my dog in my early childhood years and we got lost. A friend saw me and helped me get home. Now unless you see me, you would never know i am in the room.

    Glad you are on the mend, Kathy, and prayers for full recovery. Hate to say it, but sometimes you have to slow down.

      I know how true I that is. I always take a physical hit after a show and especially as I get closer to 76. Such a stubborn work in progress I am😜
