REAL 26 Oct 2026

Not much walking but took a short walk on Saturday. It was lovely. Sleep is not great, at all, though Friday night was lovely; a new pattern of a good night and a couple of horrible nights. Eating is good some days and awful others. Forgot to do PT. 

Thank Goodness It's Sunday

Brain Dump

Proverbs 9:9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.

A I is neither wise nor righteous. A I is a bottomless pit of knowledge. It also has no soul, no spirit, no touch of God. When will man learn that what he creates is a dim shadow of what God creates? Man is unable to provide the breath of life or a soul. What man creates is temporal, surface, shallow. People continue to ignore the harm A I has done, blowing it off as anomaly instead of heeding the warning. I'm gobsmacked by the number of people who believe that you can feed A I garbage, and it will somehow sift out what is good and discard the evil. A I has no concept of good or evil. These same people somehow fail to recognize that a lot of evil people are also feeding A I. It has already been proven that A I fed a diet of social media become dumber and is not reversible. Think of the correlation.

101. 'Tis the Season to Be Daring (All Hearts Come Home for Christmas anthology) by Esther Hatch Regency romance. I'm not usually a first person point of view fan, but it worked with this story. Sweet story with moments where I laughed out loud. A keeper. 

102. The Christmas Dress (All Hearts Come Home for Christmas anthology) by Joanna Barker Regency romance. A good story.

103. The Heart of a Vicar (Jonquil Brothers series Book 6) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. What a heartwarming story. I didn't expect to like Holy Harry, but then I read his story. Another keeper.

104. The Best Laid Plans (Huntress series Book 0.5) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. Delightful story of learning to be bold enough to be one's self and finding someone who accepts the real you.

105. Charming Artemis (Jonquil Brothers series Book 6/Lancaster Family Book 5) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. So many things tied up. A wonderful end to the two series. Love it.

REAL 19 Oct 2026

Sleeping hasn't been great. Walking not so much. Some bad eating days and some good days. I keep forgetting to do PT, but trying. I'm trying to enjoy the little moments, like watching the sunrise in glorious colors of pink, peach, and yellow.

How to prepare tofu for dinner: Toss in the trash and make something edible. 

Yep, not a fan of tofu.  

Found on the blog Nuggets of Gold

 

Found on Social Media

Them: "But it made you stronger." 

Me: "No. Jesus did."

The pain didn't make me stronger,

it brought me to my knees.

And there, Jesus met me,

held what was broken,

and rebuilt me piece by piece,

grace by grace.

I didn't survive because

I was strong. I survived because

He never let me go
