I look into the mirror today, and see a new insight to myself. The Picture is not of me, as I see me. But this strange teaching of what we should look like has given me new insight, in many ways. Both Physical, and Spiritual.
I look for things that bring me happiness and new adventure. Such as new hats, head scarfs and wigs, trying out new makeup that doesn't fade away or be absorbed by the skin. Trying to find earrings that go with the head pieces as they add a little dressiness to the head pieces and focus away from the hair loss. Flowers on hats help and a dressy scarf around the neck, to cover up what is not there. This is helping me to stay positive.
Eyebrows are still on right now, but I will have to learn how to draw them on when the time comes. One of the web sights for makeup, has the wet and press on tattoo eyebrows. (like the kids and their little tattoos that they put on their arms.) I have been getting some teasing about getting them on straight, on both sides of my face. Lots of new learning, even at my age.
Pauli came and stayed the week, to look after me. What a great help, to feel that I was not alone, ment a lot.
My Gratitude to the Lord for His blessings and insight to myself. I could not do this without his help. Knowing he is fully aware of me, brings great comfort. I have been blessed beyond measure because of Him...
A Dusting of the Cobwebs....
welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...
In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.
I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.
We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.
A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."
So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

My poor wom. The only way that I can think of helping over long distance is by sending you something pretty. Do you like somethings more than others?
I Love You very much, and am so blessed by your love and concerns. Keep me in your prayers, They are very powerful, they will get me through this, for He is the creator of all things upon this earth. Prayer is a phone call straight to Him in my behalf...
Carolyn, I'm so sorry you are going through this. You have such a good attitude. God Bless you!
