Doing it again...

04/23/2008

I have terrible feelings coming up again. I see mothers who seem to be able to do it all. Raise a family, be great cooks, Inside of houses that seem to be coming right off the pages of Magazines, have decent clothing for informal groupings,( not over done) to meet informal, but dressy clothing. Collage degrees, have worked in the work field and have honors for doing so. Have many talents that they are working on, and accomplish them.
They seem to have been very successful with their time here on earth.

Then I look at my self...I have a few dormant talents, 6 kids, and nothing else. I feel I have wasted my time, and I don't even know where it went.

Mailboxs...

01/15/2009

I have a 'Dayminder' that I use for my year calendar. I like the weekly Academic Planner because it starts in the month of August instead of January. In the back of the book, are a few pages for address, and phone numbers. Each year I carefully record the current address, and phone numbers of each of my family. I am surprised at how many pages are filled at the end of the year, by their moving to different houses, or changing phone numbers. Sometimes I imagine that there are flying mailboxes flying at me, like the letters in the Harry Potter movie. So far this year, starting after August, I have a new address for Jodie. And a new address for David. Coming soon will be a new address for Pauli and James. And I hear that sometime in the summer, perhaps a new address for Jennifer and Mike. I think the Phone numbers have stayed the same.... My book looks like a rainbow as I write each in a different color. Last year I ended up with pages of rainbows. Life can be very interesting.....and colorful. After all Rainbows are very beautiful.

Nauvoo, Four Leaf Clover...

02/18/2009

Many years ago back in 1967, Lynn and I were on vacation. We stopped and visited the sight where the Nauvoo Temple had stood. Walking on the grass where the water well was located that furnished water for the baptism fount, I found this four leaf clover. I was expecting at the time and wished on the clover for a baby boy. I placed the clover in a frame, and kept it all these years. In 1968 a baby boy came to live with us, we called him David Lynn Walker. This year 2009, I will give David his four leaf clover. May he keep it with loving memories.

Unending trials...

10/23/2011

Facing another heartache that I don't like going through.... It hurts too much, and there is nothing I can do to change it....I may not be here, by the time this one gets corrected.... My first one, has not been corrected yet, and its been over 23 years.... Sometimes the deep pain will wake me up at night. I often have to ask for heavenly help to put my feelings on a shelf, and calm my troubled heart, and help me, so I might be able to sleep at night.... Most of the time a loving Heavenly Father grants my request.... I guess that's what I get, when I give my heart away....
