Time to get started!

I have delayed getting started on this for way too long and i have no excuses except that i seem to have alot of excuses for not doing the things i should and getting distracted with the little things that hold such little meaning. I think that i have finally reached a time in my life when i can see that it has a termination point and yet, there is so much i want to do. Im feeling a certain amount of anxiety in that i may not get to it all and i dont want that to happen.

Life for the past few years has been very unsettled and disorganized - something im not good at! The perfectionist in me always wants things to be done on time, thoroughly and neatly, and without stress. The people around me dont seem to want that for me . . . and so goes the battle. Yet i feel that soon i will be organized and well directed once again so that i can get back to the things of importance.

So whats important to me? Well my walk with the Lord is first and formost, but like everything else it hasnt been put in its proper priorty spot in my life. I know i need to work on it and i know that its something i should be living daily. I try . . . but im so human. I guess thats why i need my Jesus so much in my life - because my human-ness would be my demise. I am nothing without Him and i need to start living every day with that highest regard.

My daughter, RandiLyn is next. She is the joy of my life and i am so very proud of her. We have been the best of friends and there are days i would not have gotten through without her. She is the reason i have made it through so much - just knowing that i need to be here for her. She is vibrant, and goofy, and loving, and talented. She is also beautiful. I know i will share more about her as i continue with this blog.

My husband, Walt. He has been the love of my life for 6 years. Its a tough one - this relationship! It always has been and believe me, there are days i wonder why i love him. But i do. You take two people, almost 50 years old - put them into a new relationship after they both have battle scars from their past relationships, and you cant expect smooth sailing. But we have a bond and its a forever bond. My God tells me that i have to work hard to be a good wife and to always honor my husband. He is absolutely right and that is my goal. No one said it would be easy.

Then there is my new puppy, Tobie Mac. Well, he is just a riot and im so glad he came to live with us.

Time doesnt allow me any more freedom to write at the moment, but there has to be a starting point so let this be it. The sun is out, its supposed to be a fantastic spring day in Buffalo, and i cant wait to get out in my gardens. Blessings and joy to you .
