That I look young and I would be glad when I get older. I have never forgotten that, it was
a lady at a gas station. I was buying some alcohol and she carded me. I asked her how old
she thought I was and she said 16. It has been that way my whole life. I am 50 now.
The other day a student asked me if I was married...I said yes and she said...you don't
look old enough to be married...hahahaha...I love kids.

5. Post words of wisdom that speak to you. I live by this Bible verse.
6. Something you always think “what if....?” about

out worrying about him.

Lots of pictures today. Hope you didn't mind.
I am with you on stating things more clearly! I also love the colors of fall. I wish autumn was longer than 3 months!!
ReplyDeleteI never mind lots of pictures. The fall color is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love the fall colors too. Much to my surprise, I noticed a lot of fall colors happening here. Keeping Josh in prayer.
ReplyDeleteI think you express yourself very well. I hope your son feels better.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers and pictures today.
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday my friend.
I was asked my age in a pub once, i.e. "are you over 18?" - "Yes - I'm 31," I replied.
ReplyDeleteIt's good looking young for your age.
:o)
Cheers

We're almost at peak foliage here in Northern Maine--about two weeks early due to drought.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about Sweet Home Alabama. I love that one, too!! Fun questions today and I enjoyed your answers! Have a good week and let go of some of that stress!! xo
ReplyDeleteIt isn't that easy to just let go of stress when your kid tells you he thought about stepping in front of a car. :(
DeleteI love your words of wisdom. It's so hard to explain faith to someone who doesn't believe. My friend Reg always says, "If there's a God, how do you explain ..." My response is always the same: I don't have to explain. I don't expect to be able to explain it. I trust Him, and know it will all make sense to me when I'm on the other side.
ReplyDeleteBTW: The Cubs clinched a playoff berth before, but last night my guys got a lock on 1st place. I can't stop grinning!
I really love that Trust in the Lord sign. Like you, I really miss a parent, my Mom.
ReplyDeleteThe school and area thing really resonates. I regret with all my heart, moving away from our old neighborhood. I hope your son finds friends where you are.
Lori,
ReplyDeleteI was always thought to be younger than I am. I remember one time I was in the mall shopping when some young sales gals commented on my age. They thought I was in my mid-20s. They nearly fell over when I told them I was 40-something. That really made my day! I'm not sure what others think now. I hope I still have that same youthful appearance. :) Proverbs 3:5-6 I recite often. Those words uplift me in difficult times. Online friends are just that online. I hope Josh doesn't allow people who live inside his computer affect him negatively. Social media is anything except being social. For many it's a very toxic environment. The beautiful thing about the Internet is if you don't like what someone is saying or doing then you can leave the conversation with a click of a button. No one needs to subject his/herself to harassment. Saying prayers for Josh to deal with these online people. Have a great day!
