Weekend Update

The Maverick of All Bloggers... aka "Pop-Pop!"

I realize that for the past few days I haven't been writing much of anything of substance... not because there is nothing on my mind but because I've been having an overload of sorts. Sometimes you have to sit back, chill, and enjoy this thing we call life. Sometimes you actually have to have a life!

That's what I love about children... they always make you look at life differently. They make you change your perspective. As depressed and disgusted as I can get sometimes when I think about the way things are going (or in some cases NOT going) in this country, it's always good that I can stop and think about what's really important to me personally.

This weekend, I took care of me. I played with my grandchildren and I didn't watch CNN or MSNBC once. I'm probably behind in a lot of current events but, that's okay. I've read several other very entertaining blog posts by Don, Big Rippa, Carey Carey, Mizrepresent, and others that I'm sure have kept everybody well-informed and entertained.

In fact, what I read was so good that I've got to step up my game a little bit... LOL! The kids helped me chill out and that's a good thing because for me, chilling out means that my brain rested. When my brain rests, my imagination re-energizes itself. Stay tuned... I'll be back on the grind tomorrow or whenever.

Nothing like spending time with the kids.

Rest?!? With grandkids?!? LOL. You're our "baby" cousin. You're too young to need rest. We'll have to do Smith Playground in the winter. After we've run around in the cold, then we can be tired. Love you.

Nothing better. I'm going to be a grandmother next year. I'm looking forward to having that grandma smile. The best thing about grandkids is you can love them to death and then give them back to their parents. LOL!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: You know the emptiness of my heart. Sometimes I wonder if you are there, if you hear, and if there is any hope that my situation will be different. When loneliness looms around me, when my questions are unanswered, when no one seems to care, when days and nights go on and on with no change, when I fall deeper into despair, I pray that you will let your peace fall upon me as gently as the spring rain that waters the earth. Remind me of your unconditional and eternal love for me. Assure me of your presence. Fill my heart with the hope that my life is held in your hand. Lift my pain so that joy may flow freely again through me. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
