Late night September 27, 2020

 Hello, 

Wow, it has been a while!!!  Over a year.  I don't know how this keeps happening.  Time, it just keeps on ticking, doesn't it.  That's okay though, isn't it?  So many opinions and other people talking all the time online a year really isn't like a year, now is it?  No one misses hearing from me on here.  No one honestly probably realized I wasn't here.  Isn't that crazy?  I guess this blog is more like me just popping in every once in a while to see how I am doing.  

How am I doing?  I'm always fantastic.  I am always good.  So what have we missed about me?

We have missed nothing special. I am always first a mother.  I know some people are probably thinking, "well a mother is not who you are," but it really is, and I would not trade it for the world.  If I leave this world and no one ever hears my voice or what I am saying other then my child I am okay with this.  I am happy.  

I took some time off knitting to read more this year.  Reading more was nice.  I am still knitting and have knit a lot as well.

Co-vid?  I am essential, no time off. Nothing really changed for me.  I didn't have a big adjustment problem.  I think the zoom meeting were the hardest but after a day or so we adapted.  The online school is great because I get to spend more time with my family and my son has had fantastic teacher who teach because they love it and it is more then a job to them.  

I have wrote, took time off from writing(not blogging) and am now picking the pen(and blog) back up some.  For the blog I am unsure how long I am picking it up but I am blogging for the moment.  

I guess that is it for tonight though.   I have nothing else to say.

Until next time,

Monday July 8, 2019 Early Morning Thoughts/What Is Right and What Is Easy

Wow,
It's been a minute hasn't it?  

This morning I charged up my old Lenovo laptop(this is the highest tech form of computer I have) and I'm trying to get to my blog, but it keeps not directly taking me to so I begin freaking out a little, going to my Facebook page and rechecking my web address making sure I still exist(well that my blog still exist, whether or not I exist is still questionable).  At last though, after much heartache(and attack) I have located my wonderful blog of gossip and I guess as of today am officially back to ranting.


It is 5:50 A.M. my time and most of you guys are probably still sleeping.  I woke up at a beautiful 2:50A.M. this morning.  I love the peacefulness of the world at this time.  Most of you were probably heading to bed or still sleeping, and I guess that is what makes it so peaceful.  There is hardly anyone on the black still roads and the air feels cool and clean.  Nothing but the sound of silence(hehe), the air conditioner and the taps of the keys on my computer.   

That's not why I decided to get on here though.  The reason I decided to get on here is because I was driving down the road this morning (dreaming of an Ice Chai Latter), listening to music while conversing and reminiscing with myself in my head when I thought of this clip from Harry Potter(which I have included the youtube link below "What Is Right and What is Easy and hopefully did it correctly.)

What Is Right and What Is Easy(not really any spoilers but if you haven't watched then obviously it is a spoiler)

Professor Dumbledore says, "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy."

I believe we all can relate to this.  In a world that is so focused on ourselves, we have become so self absorbed in what makes us happy we do what we want without really asking the question of is this what we should?  We make regrettable choices(for us who can admit we are wrong) that not only has effects on our lives but everyone around us.  We do not ask is this morally correct because our world is turning into where everyone sets their own morals so everyone's morals differ.  We carry grudges and hold only enough forgiveness for ourselves yet none for those around us. 

The world is changing.  As Dumbledore said in fiction, here in life ,"Dark and difficult times lie ahead.  Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy."  In a world where everyone choices easy don't for one second think right will always be easy, because wrong being so easy makes right most of the time hard.  Right leads to growth.  You won't always be right but you continue on the right path instead of saying,"too late, I messed up."  

And if you don't know what is right anymore, and you are lost, though  I used an example from Harry Potter as it was what I was thinking of this morning, know there is a right way, a voice that is calling a light in the darkness. Jesus, if you do not know who HE is or want to know more follow this link.  Scroll down to life questions and click on Salvation/Rededication to Christ.and the question,"Why and how should I accept Jesus as my Savior?" will maybe help you find some of the answers you have been looking for and wonder.  I'm not sure who you are but I think God had this post in mind for you(and I felt very convicted to add this paragraph in) and pray if so you will get the understanding and wisdom you need and are searching for. 

With that, I hope everyone is having a good morning, 

Brittani

P.S.It is now 6:30A.M. and I feel a nap in my near future lol good day

Friday December 8, 2017

Hello Everyone,

So sorry I haven't posted since November it has been a long week.  I am rather thankful for a peaceful Friday night,  Originally I had plans tonight but snow changed them so now I am sitting here(watching Doctor Who of course) and just enjoying a nice night indoors.

It has been such an eventful week.  The very first day of December I had my very first piano recital. I was extremely nervous but I made it through. I played Ode to Joy, Good King Wenceslas, and Jingle Bells.  I messed up and  I improvised.  All in all however, I was proud and happy I went through with it.  The next day I had went to a parade to see my little sister who was in it (in her own car and in a pretty dress) and then my son had a Good News Club Party.  I knit a lot that night. The next day my little boy was sick so I took care of him and knit.  Monday he had boy scouts and a party for selling popcorn.  Tuesday I did something though I can't remember right off hand.  Wednesday I finally learned to complete my first hat.  Yesterday I finished some more knitting.  I of course worked and took care of other things too.  I'm not saying everything I did just pieces.  Today we finally got some snow. Like I said.  Long week and I am so glad for a night in. Though I was looking forward to seeing lights tonight(which was plans changed).   That's an overview of my long week though.  I hope everyone has had a good December so far. 

Sincerely,
BLW

Happy Thanksgiving November 21, 22, and 23, 2017

Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry.  I seem to be having trouble posting everyday.  I don't mean to not but I seem to not either way.  Today however is a day to be Thankful and not for a bunch of apologies.

Today I am thankful for....Everything
I am thankful for everything I see.  Today is good.  Not because it is perfect but because I am taking time to see the beauty in small things.  I made my first turkey.  I got to spend time with people I love.  I rested.  I created.  Everything I have done, am doing, and will do seems so beautiful.  I could not see a reason to not be thankful.

November 21: My Computer which I type on
November 22: Tanglewood Christmas lights.  A family tradition for years I am not sharing with my son :)

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving today.

Sincerely,
BLW

November 20, 2017 Today I Am Thankful For...Day 17, 18, 19, 20

Hey Everyone,

I'm sorry it has been a few days since I post.  I was out late Friday night with my mom and sister, came home and spent the rest of the night, next day, and day after sick and bedridden.  I got better about mid-yesterday but was so exhausted and miserable I just skipped out on posting.

Today I am back though and ready to play catch up

Day 17:The Southern Christmas Show
Like I said, I was out late Friday with my mom and sister, and we went to the Southern Christmas Show.  This one is special to me.  I am not thankful for the show in particular as much as I am with the once a year depute that allows me to spend time with my mom and sister.  Going around and looking at all the Christmas stuff and spending time with each other.  This to me is what the season is about, family.  I love the time I spend each year with my mom and sister and it is always something I look forward to.

Day 18: My Health
There is nothing like a few days in bed and being sick to make you very grateful for getting up everyday and having your health.

Day 19:Clean Water
Because there is nothing more refreshing than a glass of clean water.  My cup runs over.

Day 20:Prayer
Knee mail.  I really do believe the only way to stand is on your knees with lifted hands(check out Casting Crowns song Courageous).  When all else fails or everything is great from my highest and my lowest points I know I am never alone.  I talk to my Father through prayer.  I am always connected to Him.  No one can take that away from me. 

Again, I am sorry I got behind.  I didn't mean to be down and out.  I hope you guys are enjoying my I am Thankful for... so far.  Hopefully it has inspired or helped you in some way.  I'll see you tomorrow.  I think it's going to be another cold night so I pray you all stay warm. 

Sincerely,
BLW
