Hello blog friends! I love blogging and it has opened a whole new group of people to me that I enjoy chatting with. I do want to say that I appreciate each and every one of you who leaves me a comment. I hardly ever respond to them because I would be online forever if I did that. However, I read and cherish each one.

I did receive a rather unkind comment today from an anonymous reader about a grammatical error I made in my post about Nathan. I fixed it because I do try to use proper grammar. However, I'm human and I type fast and sometimes I make a mistake. I fixed the error, but I would say that if someone ever notices a typo I make, please feel free to let me know but I just ask that you do it in a respectful way. I have feelings and I'm dealing with all kinds of things in my life that are very stressful. I don't need to feel like I can't post on my blog without getting blasted for my English.

I notice that usually the very unkind comments (which are very rare) come from people who are not willing to make themselves known.

For those of you who have been reading and commenting, I just wanted you to know how much I do appreciate you all! I love taking a few moments here and there and visiting your blogs as well and I do try to leave a comment from here and there. The end of December will mark two years of blogging for me. I think I'll have to do a giveaway or something! ;-)

    Your the second blogger this week that I've read that has had something negative anonomously commented to them. I know it's not easy but don't let it get you down. I have to remind myself when I get knocked down, it's because something I've done apparently made the devil made. Which means we're doing something right or he wouldn't be mad. So just keep making him mad and see God's glory in the outcome.

    How awful! I just don't understand why some people feel the need to leave nasty comments on other people's blogs.
    I just changed the comment setting on my blog, as I read about another blogger that received a nasty comment on her blog.
    So sad...I guess all we can do is pray for them and hope they change their ways!
    I love your blog Terri and your encouragement to all of us...don't let one person get you down - we love ya!

    Blessings!

    Oh, isn't it a shame when these things happen in blogland? I too have received unpleasant comments, and a particularly nasty email once. Thank goodness most people are nice.

    Two years blogging? Wow! That's great Terri! :)

    It's seems crazy to me that someone can reply negatively and rudely to that post.
    It also makes me realize that I really don't know all the people who may be reading my blog, but if I can touch someone with God's love and grace, than it's worth it.

    You do such a good job of reflecting our Father's love and grace, Terri! Keep it up!

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
