Happy Thursday!!! :D

Or it would be, if I could seem to get anything done. Why, oh WHY, can't I get my desk clean???? It's to the point where the only space cleared is right there in front of my keyboard! See it? That's IT. And if you look below, my stamping table isn't any better - although a lot of that will be taken care of before Kenn leaves today. Right, darling? :D

ANYWAY. Today is being spent trying to catch up even a little more. Kenn has to work tonight, so I have to run rehearsal. However, HE is having to do one of the main male roles, so we're going to have to skip over two scenes tonight. It's going to get MORE difficult, I'm afraid, because he's going to be working more the next few weeks. We've GOT to find someone to do this role! Anyone in the area know a middle-aged man who would love to act with us????

I really need to work on my Stampin' Up! business stuff today; my newsletter is scheduled to go out tomorrow, and I need to do my class schedule for February and maybe some of March. I just am not feeling like doing anything! :D

Here's my table. I guess I'm off to get busy - to uncover my calendar, which is on my desk, so I can plan those classes. :) I hope you're able to get motivated today, to do whatever you need to! May you be richly, abundantly blessed today!

Psalm 112:1-3

Praise the LORD.

Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,

who finds great delight in his commands.
His children will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house,

and his righteousness endures forever.

Wednesday: Introduction Day!

Good morning, dear friend! Today's an easy day for me; I'm going to let Karen - aka Karna - tell you about herself.

I am Karen, old blonde woman going on Medicare this year WAAA WAAAA - it is hard to think I will be 65 years old next month. I feel like I'm 19 except when I go to get up off my sofa and the bones creak a bit or the body wants to stay in that position and not jump right up. I had two children, and two grandchildren. I was married for 35 years and divorced in 1999...so wow thats 9 years already.

Our family was fractured and blown apart in 1997 when my daughter accused my husband of molesting our granddaughter. That's like a time bomb going off and you hadn't read the book on how to survive.

So its been a long 10 years and a sad journey to say the least. In the midst of it all my son was diagnosed with MS - his wife left with their baby, and I was asked to come and be his caregiver. It was my joy and we spent 5 years together - he was brave and wonderful and passed away in June of 1996. He is safe with Jesus and I am left sad and lonely without him in my life. They say the second year after a loss is worse than the first one and I think I can attest to that.

Meanwhile I am remodeling his home and need to sell it pronto - of course I always buy in a high market and sell in a low, but this tops the cake right now -- couldn't be a worse time. I am just trying to trust the Lord to have a buyer out there so that it can be sold and I can pay my bills and move on.

Guess I'll stop cuz I could write a book - I have dreams and aspirations and know that the year 2008 (the #8 signifies 'new beginnings') will bring new journeys, lessons, and joy during the midst of all!

Thanks SO much, Karen! Ladies, let's lift Karen's needs, desires, and praises to God!!!
