One- Friends will be encouraging when you really need them to be.
Two- Encouragement can come in many different ways. Today friends gave me physical hugs, blog, text, and phone hugs, prayers through text, in person and on their own personal time. Love pouring from all directions.
Three- My brother does not know how to fill out paperwork at the doctor's office. His wife must Julie Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11106460524458340234noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009729752630922976.post-64945118841131291852011-09-26T14:40:00.001-04:002011-09-26T15:08:09.104-04:00A Little Ramblin' A Little About Me
I missed my family reunion Saturday. I was sick and suffering from a swelled up head and sore throat but in truth I really wasn't motivated to go. As relatives pass away the numbers get smaller and it's kind of sad to go when so many are missing.
I remember even just 6 or 7 years ago it seemed the place was packed. Ever heard of Pendergrass Georgia? Talmo?

The Past
Life’s about making everyone happy. I try but fail
miserably. And do they let it slide like I do when they mess up? No way. They
make a point to let me know just how bad I loused everything up. I only hear the
negative not the positive. The thing is I never try to hurt anyone it just
comes off that way sometimes. It’s as if when it doesn’t turn out the way they
want Julie Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11106460524458340234noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009729752630922976.post-44432948863226625682011-09-23T10:47:00.001-04:002011-09-23T11:03:00.235-04:00I Will Have You As Mine
I control all things, every human here on this planet. I am
the only love you need and I will have you. My hypnotic voice draws you in and
once there you cannot leave. There is no way to escape my power, and plan for
your life. By the time you have fallen under my spell of delicious enticement
it’s much too late. You are entangled in my world forever. You will do as I
say, when I say it. ThereJulie Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11106460524458340234noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009729752630922976.post-69582523022106421112011-09-22T17:33:00.000-04:002011-09-22T17:33:09.085-04:00Women and Bears
My trip to Gaitlinburg and Pigeon Forge with my sister-in-laws and mother-in-law was a blast. A hilarious blast! While Control Freak drove us home, I sat in the front holding on to the seat. We rounded the mountains right on the edge and I feared Bug Hater would grab Control Freak's hair pulling it out causing her to go off the side. Bug Hater was even more terrified than me and yelled from the Julie Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11106460524458340234noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009729752630922976.post-46539848049977952102011-09-19T17:42:00.000-04:002011-09-21T19:35:45.033-04:00Where Is The Happy Me?
The heavy patchwork quilt made of soft cotton lay against my
numb body. The colors of bright pink, light olive green, dark evergreen, mauve,
and clean crisp white that once stood out to me now seem drab and dull.
Colorless. This covering that once brought comfort gives nothing now.

He sat at the computer every night after dinner, every
Saturday and Sunday, almost every waking moment. I hated the thing. It had
stolen my husband from his family.
The time I realized this monster was truly my enemy was a
night that will go down in infamy with our family. I was on the phone with a
good friend. We were having a deep conversation about”something important”. I
was Julie Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11106460524458340234noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009729752630922976.post-24291277606085599462011-09-11T13:13:00.000-04:002011-09-11T13:13:29.987-04:009/11 CWO Featured
Hey Friends,
Follow me over to Christian Women's Online Network where my article commemorating 9/11 is one of the featured articles today. You can find it here. If you like it please go ahead and "like" it. While you're there look around, there's a great assortment of blogs and encouraging articles and forums. I'm now a Staff Writer at CWO so it's a new home for me.

A sweet friend of mine had surgery today. I dropped her off at the hospital this morning. I was slightly nervous because she had never had any surgery before.
Leaving her was hard because it was obvious she did not want to be in this strange place with strangers caring for her. But what could I do?
The only thing I could do was pray: Father I haven't had to pray for her very often but today IJulie Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11106460524458340234noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009729752630922976.post-70733224457970787572011-09-08T16:55:00.001-04:002011-09-09T00:14:36.508-04:00What If You Won?
There’s
something to be said about the exhilarating feeling of opening the door of a
casino. You have money to burn and you dream of winning big. So big that you’ll
pay off the mortgage, the credit cards, the doctor bills. You will be a hero by the time you’re done
with this place. When you get home your husband will bow down and call you “Queen”.

Yesterday this would have been hard to do. Today it's easy. It's a ashame that I need to be in a certain mood to find things to be thankful for isn't it? Yeah I know you agree.
Well I'm there today, good attitude and all so here's my list:
1- I'm thankful I had my house cleaned today. It's kind of a stress reliever to know I don't have to do a deep cleaning.

This week Write On Edge asked us to write a memoir piece beginning with the words, “I miss my childhood”.
I miss my childhood because I wasn’t an orphan back then. It
still stings to hear others talking about family holidays with their parents. I
guess that sounds selfish but while I am trying to make new traditions that
feel awkward and forced, others are enjoying the same Julie Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11106460524458340234noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009729752630922976.post-84410312474648961202011-09-02T14:10:00.001-04:002011-09-02T14:10:17.163-04:00Blogging Changed My Life
I sit in my favorite recliner, laptop propped just right,
staring at a blank Word document. Many ideas running through my head but none
seem to be right for this particular writing prompt. I just checked my stats
and they are really low from yesterday and today. I’m thinking I need to come
up with something fantastic.
Unfortunately I just don’t have anything fantastic today.

1- Secondhand Lions. A tale of 2 elderly, eccentric uncles (Robert Duvall, Micheal Cain) with a hidden fortune on their property. Their young nephew Walter gets dumped off for the summer by his mother (Kyra Sedgwick) and he hears of the action adventures his uncles experienced when they were young men. Heartwarming, heartbreaking, and plenty of dogs, which you know I love.

I'm a reality TV fan. Is that sad or what? However it promotes camaraderie between The Train and myself. He watches Big Brother 13 and Survivor with me. It's amazing how reality TV brings us together and makes for great conversation.

As he lay in the hospital bed I watched as he drew in a deep breath as if he was smoking a cigarette. I had seen him do this thousands of times over the years, but this was a hallucination. The pain medication had taken him to a place he loved, a place of indulgence with cigarettes, beer, and all his favorite food.

This is my response to a prompt from Write on Edge. I have several memories that I could have written about but most I can't put on paper at this time. This is the one I felt I needed to write about for now.

Dear God,
There comes a time when I have to realize some people just don't change. Some of us don't even think we need to change. I find it a shame that we can't see there is always room to grow, always room to love people a little more.
I believe if we ever get to the point when we think we've come as far as we can it is detrimental to our overall growth.
