Just Can't Come Up With Those Cute Titles

Try as I might I just don't seem to have the creativity necessary to come up with those catchy titles everyone else seems to come by I am guessing easily. That is not my only problem but I just go through life as if I know what I am doing. I have not been in contact with many of you because I seem to be able to receive e-mail but cannot send any. I have read the troubleshooting information but when I go through the steps I don't seem to get anywhere.
I am facilitating a grief support group for ecumenical ministries. This is a wonderful group of ladies who have come so far in the time I have known them. We have new people starting all the time. We had a new person join the group last night. In sharing stories with her one person talked about cleaning her windshield while getting fuel. In the process the windshield wiper came off in her hand. She said she drove to her son's house for assistance...he wasn't home but her grandson assured her that he could fix it. He tried but couldn't quite get it. She drove on home and her neighbor was out in the yard. He came over and fixed it for her. She said a year ago faced with that scenario she would have just gone straight home gone into the house and stood there and screamed at the top of her lungs. See we can cope with God's help. (I'll eventually figure out what is going on with this computer)
Another thought that was shared last night was regarding an article that someone in the group had read. It was entitled "Are you just filling the day or living a life?" Isn't that a great question. Hopefully we are all doing more than just filling our day. I have so much to be thankful for. I remember telling my daughter after my husband died..."Please, don't let me turn into a bitter old woman". She is helping me by keeping me entertained with my wonderful grandchildren "Peach", "Pumpkin", "Speep", and "Buddy" (all nicknames subject to change at any time). Today we made brownies, blew bubbles, drew, pictures, caught bugs, watered plants, ate brownies ...just to name some of our activities.

  1. My Friend you are so blessed. I pray for your support group, it sounds like God is in the center of it. They will all survive, may hurt at times, but they will survive.
    Love, Mrs. Sandy
