Forty Love Nana

Okay, I am determined to blog!!!!  Big Bad (aka John aka Poppie) has the walking pneumonia thing and was up last night until after 2 - so, guess what, me too!!  Jackson (grandson) arrived this morning at 7:45 or so and from there the day was up and down and not really super wonderful.  I did get to put in some time on the tennis court but my game was about like the rest of my day - up and down!

I need to stop complaining and remember all I have and express my praise and gratitude - so, here goes

I have so many comforts in this life, a lovely home, air conditioning, plenty of food, two fun pets (Doodle and Buster) - these are my comfort that God has allowed me to have and I thank Him and praise Him!

I have a partner in life who provides for me and takes care of me.  Today he is not feeling well and actually, he is having some heart problems so this cold thing is taking a toll.  I pray God will touch John with his healing hand and give him the peace of His presence.  Thank you, Lord.

I am blessed to have two wonderful children, Kelly, my daughter and Charlie, my son.  In turn each of them has found a life partner who they love and who loves them.  To make all this even better I now have 3 beautiful grandchildren.  Two granddaughters, Macey and Mariana, and one grandson, Jackson.

My parents are in fairly good shape for their age and live near by.

I can still play tennis and play with my grands and enjoy Wii tennis, golf, Mariokart, etc.  I love puzzles and card games, too.

I have many friends.

This list is not long enough but at least some of my blessings are listed and I know that God has provided all these gifts, Praises to you , Lord.  May your kingdom be glorified here on this earth and may we stand solid to keep your name in our everyday lives and in the lives of our children and grandchildren!

Thanks for listening!

For a long time I have pretty much kept all of my thoughts to myself.  As of today I am making myself a promise to reveal more of me and to open myself  to others through this blog.  I am not much of a blogger but I am going to work toward becoming one.  So be looking for my daily updates, which will pretty much be of a personal nature, and if you are willing share your thoughts, too.

Today I am looking for song lyrics with guitar chords and in my search discover that Luke Bryan, from Leesburg, Ga., has song lyrics listed at cowboy lyrics. I believe he is seeking votes on CMT for top new male vocalist - so thought this might be good for some of you interested in seeing this young man prosper. The link for Luke’s web site is www.lukebryan.com - Check it out!!

Here is my first post.  I’m too tired to write much tonight, but I hope to dig in soon!
