A Winter Day(The 5 Senses Of January)

 

The Sense of SIGHT beckons me out the kitchen door window to the back acreage of our little Homestead...the different hues of browns from the earth as the grasses that make up our pasture is in complete dormant, the greys of the bark on trees that have long since passed in days gone bye through drought and fire, the faded green paint of our riding lawn mower as it sits cold next to the red shed.

I can FEEL(Touch) the smoothness of the keyboard as I touch each letter to make up the words I am trying to express here. I feel the coolness of my ceramic mug when I reach to take a sip in what was once a hot cuppa coffee. The roughness of my makeshift computer desk, reminds me that a functional work space doesn't have to be perfect..

I can HEAR my 2 year old little girl, the youngest daughter of my womb whispering to her baby brother in between the sipping of her cup and him responding to her with the babbling I am sure she can only understand. 

I can still SMELL the burnt oatmeal from yesterdays breakfast that the 16 year old attempted to cook and forgot to add the water, while the whiff of a dirty diaper sends my nostrils to turn up my nose.. 

I can TASTE the Coffee I am drinking as I prefer to take it black or with creme..

Wordless Wednesday: Oklahoma Sunrise

 

Cheers To New Beginings

 

   

Howdy Friends and Online Stalkers ☺

Crazy to think that we are already several days into the Month of January and its the year 2022!

I dont know about you, but it feels like the past 2-3 years have been a mix of a bad cocktail and you wake up with a what in the world did I just do?! 

Fall 2020 we bought this Little Red House on the Plains, and just jumped right in(immaturely) as I shared in a previous post, with all the hopes, dreams and goals of turning our little homestead into something functional for us. Did I attempt to tackle goals and dreams.. Yes, did I anticipate the hardships of emotional,physical and spiritual anguish that 2021 brought me and my husband and our family.. a resounding NO! Sure we know that life is not perfect and it comes with its ups and downs..Just did not think that 2021 would have been as rough as it turned out to be. So I am glad it is over.

As 2021 was winding down, I felt the LoRd revealing to me a few bits in my shortcomings and a whisper on my soul of other things. In those things He reminded me where I need to be with HIM and where I had been limited with or with out HIM in my life. For the first time in a few years.. I can honestly say I have a Word(s) Placed On My Heart.. 

S I M P L Y ♥ R E T U R N

So this year I am doing things differently, My husband and I are doing things differently, The family and I will be doing things differently. All of Us will be doing things differently in the will of  Simply Returning.. I have plenty of thoughts and ideas of what that is going to be meaning for myself and the crew, like date nights again, baking, learning new things, or the reestablishing of healthy and happy traditions and routines. The very stuff we did and yet some how allowed the trials of life's hurts and hangups over the past couple of years override what was working positively in our f♥mily. 

I am sure things will get messy and mistakes will happen along the way of following Gods Will to 

SIMPLY ♥ RETURN, and I hope with each mistake and mess, I can learn from it and make the necessary corrections to get Myself, and the Family back on track.

Lets Say You?

Do You Have A Word or Two That Has Been Laid Upon Your ♥Heart♥ For 2022?

HaPpY NeW Year

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR YALL.. 

New Years is like a unwritten book, with its blank pages awaiting to be filled, and you my dear friend are the Author. What kind of book will you be writing this year? Adventure, Drama,Suspense,or Romance. Whatever you choose to fill your chapters with, it is my wish that it will be one of the greatest stories you have ever set to live. 

If you need a Publisher, I highly recommend going with Yahweh Publishing, HE seems to know ALOT about Books on LIFE☺
