This story might not be what you expect by the title. Getting what you want almost never comes the way you thought it would. Getting what you want almost always comes with the element of the unexpected! Most certainly, getting what you want comes with a lesson or two! Here's my story. The thing I wanted most was to move from city living to the country. I have many, many reasons for wanting to move to the country. It had been in my thoughts and prayers for years. And just like most people I had all kinds of obligations and responsibilities that made moving out of reach! I never gave up on my dream of country living, even though it looked impossible. I did the usual bargining with God! I knew I could be and would be better off in the country. If I could just get my chance! That chance finally came! Nobody could be happier to finally have a dream realized! Yes, moving to the country! This will be great, or so I thought! Everyone would be happy for me, I thought. All of the pie...

Watching the skies..  Yep, we had a category 4 hurricane hit the southeastern tip of Texas last night! Harvey came in around 10pm central time last night! We'd been expecting Harvey to hit on Friday. The weather channel and our local news has had coverage and talking about the weather impact all day long. We've known about it since early this week. On Monday we had a solar eclipse then by Friday we had a hurricane.. All in one week! We live north east of the tropical storms landfall, but it's expected to move up this way and give us inches and inches of rain. Right now it's still down south east of us. We've been getting bands of rain come through since daybreak. All this rain and clouds has made for cooler temperatures! #Yay! It's been hot and humid most of the summer. Although we never did hit 100 ℉ it's been over 100 ℉ with the heat index! So August leaves with a bang! Texas weather can be so unpredictable! Texas is like it's own country! It's...

It is said that there is a "price to pay for having it all"! What does that mean? Does it mean that once you get everything you wanted there's something (negative) waiting for you? Does it mean that getting everything you've ever wanted has consequences? What does that statement really mean? Let's take a minute to consider the other side to that coin! What's the price you pay for not having it all? What about the price you pay for letting your goals and dreams fade like you're ole favorite blue jeans? Is there a price you pay for not having it all? It's something to think about. I've given it some thought and looking back over my life, I can see where it applies!  As I get older, I'm starting to look back and see that there are many times in which I've paid a price for not chasing certain goals and dreams I once had. Yes, there were times that I should have pursued my goals, yet I gave up along the way or never even tried. This has happ...

When I first thought about starting a blog, I checked with a few friends and family members. I received mixed opinions about the whole things. Most of my friends and family thought it would be a waste of time. Most felt I wouldn't be able to reach anyone because of the volume of bloggers/vloggers out there right now. I wanted to help people in some way! I've had many life experiences and situations. I thought my life could be a lesson to some of what "not" to do with your life! Or maybe it would show someone that no matter what the circumstance we live on.. I also thought that those who read my blogs would maybe see a little bit of themselves through my stories. Mainly, I just wanted to reach as many people as possible and maybe through my stories I could help. Sometimes people feel alone in situations. They feel like nobody knows what they are going through.  As I was doing my research before starting my blog, I almost got discouraged! Why? The blogging market is...

Life can change in the blink of an eye. Then again, some things take time before change occurs! One thing I've learned is you just can't tell what life will hand you next. We never know who will come into our lives and for what reason. Things can happen so unexpectedly! Let me tell you a story that is 100% true! The events that takes place in this story is a real life experience! My story starts off searching for a place to rent. Hubby and I were looking for a rental property to lease. We were relatively new to the area we were living. We moved to this town two years prior. For some reason we had problems finding a house big enough for our family! We needed a three bedroom home to rent. Since we were new to the area, we wasn't really thinking about buying a home at the time. We thought we'd wait and get more established in the area and see if we still wanted to live there or move somewhere else! We looked all over town for a place to live. My lease at the old place ...

My goodness, today's world looks like nothing I've seen before! Right before my eyes I am witnessing a movement like nothing I've ever seen! The movement of meanness! Why is everybody so angry, upset, or pissed off about something or another? This seems to be running rampant in our society today. People do not hold back their thoughts or feelings about anything! What ever happen to discretion? Do you have to say everything you think? Apparently so because today's world is all about somebody make me mad, I make them mad back! If you push, I push harder! What's up with that? You can't even walk down the street or go to the store without seeing somebody upset or angry about something.  I know these are hard times we live in. People are having a hard time just trying to get by! But guess what? So did the generations before us! Struggles are part of life. And while everybody is mad and angry, just think about how much of life they are missing out on. Life is abo...
