2 be Bliss, as I dance along the road to Nirvana...

Why'd you have to go make things so complicated? (You know who you are!) .

Dear God, Thank you for giving me the free will to make the choices that I know are necessary for my life, even when they are painful. I know in the long run, all is for the best. Thank you in advance for the patience required to wait for the "long run" to arrive. Amen.  - me

Dear God, I am so thankful for every breath. Every moment I am alive is an experience in... living!  :-) Amen.  - me

On another note, it's time to replace my laptop. *sigh* If she can hold on until Christmas (or maybe Thanksgiving), I can probably get a good deal on a Windows OS. But thoughts of getting a MacBook Air have me salivating. I've used a Mac desktop but it's been almost 20 years. The learning curve might be a little steep but I'm up for the challenge. My current laptop (an HP that is surprising me with its resilience with each passing hour, literally) is being held together with binder clips and prayer. The binder clips are keeping the frame  attached to the monitor as well as providing a jerry-rig for holding the lid open. The hinge that should hold it open is gone. Well, not gone but the monitor has separated from the  hinge (after the hinge broke) and it's hanging on by the cables and other innards. A big piece on the back edge of the component that houses the keyboard popped off a few weeks ago. Other small pieces of black... stuff falls off periodic...

Life continues to move forward. Sometimes slowly, sometimes swiftly. Always amazingly... I have had many happy days in the past few months, as well as a few lessons. It's all good because it's all God. And I am thankful for every experience that leads to my higher good. Amen.
