Saturday

The in between. The Apostles and disciples are in mourning. Their Lord was killed for telling the truth. They don't comprehend the significance of the fact that Sunday is coming.

Welcome Good Friday

Jesus endured suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, an unjust trial, beating, flogging, a crown of thorns, a grueling walk carrying the cross, and then crucifixion. He died for each and every person who ever lived or ever would live. The choice is ours to accept the gift. He was laid in a tomb. It was a truly awful day, but Sunday is coming.

The Blessing Basket

The thirteenth novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Cici, Candy Crothers, lies to everyone, except her Holiday Diner boss, only because he informed her if she lied to him he'd fire her. She ran away from an ugly past and still worries it might catch up to her. Sharing her nightmares is nowhere on her list of things to do, ever.

Trace Brown left the Army honorably but not unscathed. Anger controls his life, holding him back from pretty much everything, including becoming a chef at Holiday Diner. The diner's head hostess intrigues him, but not enough to risk sharing his day-to-day battle with PTSD.

Nothing can drive God away. His hand is stretched out still. He is always there, waiting...

This week's bit of extra was a bit of spring cleaning, dusting, including baseboards and hard to reach spots on the floor, along with other chores in the house. Pulled a few weeds. Eating better and improving my sleeping habits, earlier to bed and using lavender.

REAL Feb Mar 4-9

REAL - Reduce stress Exercise Adequate sleep Lower caloric intake

Walks and physical therapy are tougher when it rains, but what a relief to not beat myself up for missing a day or two. It's easier to just pick up where I left off on a better day. Sleeping is good some nights and not others but improving, I think. Eating healthy is a daily challenge, but I keep trying to improve.

Brain Dump

Solar power is great, when it works. I thought about obtaining a solar-powered generator for the few times the power goes out. Nope, nope, nope. It usually goest out during a storm. What would be the point? My little rabbit holding a solar powered lantern is adorable and a great nightlight, when it works. Sunny days are awesome, and the lantern lasts all night. Rainy days prove the problem with solar. The lantern dims to useless before the sun rises. And yet "they" say that solar is reliable. Where do "they" live? Or are they telling tales to sale a product in which they've invested? Things that make you go hmmm.
