Day 4- My Views on Religion...
I believe in GOD, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I believe you do not have to visit them in Church. They are always with you. I believe in Joseph Smiths story and I believe the Mormon church is a great place to raise your children. But, I do believe single older ppl get lost in the church. But none of that is as important as ones personal relationship with God :) Love him, trust him and most of all Believe in HIM! Amen!

Day 2: Where will I be in 10 years? Wow I will be 67! Almost 70??? That's seems impossible. With my health the way it has been Im truthfully not sure I will be here on Earth in the physical form. Each day brings up a different issue for me. Iam struggling.
Today was an exceptionally hard day. I wanted to spend the day with my friend Terry we planned breakfast, a trip to Costco, and to wait for her sons girlfriend 30 mins then off to Micheals and make Christmas wreaths. Sounds like a fun day to me.....but I found myself CRASHING at 12:30... I felt sick and tired and a little confused.... so I left before her sons girlfriend got there Never got to make that Christmas wreath and I did want to , I came home and slept Now awake...I still feel groggy and pucky. 10 years from now is not in my thoughts ...getting to Christmas is. Just getting to every day feels like a goal.
On the days I feel good I would like to think I would travel to Ireland, take a Viking River Cruise and enjoy watching my grandbabies grow and having a relationship with them. Watching my Son and Daughter grow and mature, Helping in some way, to make the world better. Seeing my family in Ohio again. Giving my dad a kiss on the cheek, Laughing with my sister Jill. Hearing one of my brother Johns dry jokes that always make me laugh. Playing games with Dave and Barb. Talking about everything and nothing :) Being Loved by someone I can respect and Love back would be icing on the cake of those 10 years. And Write the Great American Novel that would be about it. What I would like to accomplish in the next 10 years....Good Lord A Willing And The Creek Don't Rise....:) From these Pages to Gods ears...DR

Day 1: Relationships
Ok Im never sure how to Post these things but im doing Andreas 30 Day Blog Challenge :)
1) Whats your relationship like?
Well I have a warm relationship with God right now. I trust him and believe in him. I believe he has my best interest at heart. He has blessed me with 2 wonderful children, 1 great Son in law and 2 beautiful grand children Whom I believe HUNG THE MOON :). I am content.
I was married for 19 years and I wouldn't change those years for any thing. They were full. But, they ended and a new chapter in my life began. I am a single 50 something divorcee whoohoo :). Not really as exciting as it sounds :). But, I wouldn't trade my Freedom that I have right now. I am Free to be Me without being Judged or asked to change my self in any way. I don't feel like I have to impress any one or think a certain way just because someone else tells me too. My thoughts, my mind what goes in and comes out are all mine. I like that. Would I like to have a relationship in the future Yes. But he would have to be a pretty understanding man. Because there is not much I would like to change.....a bigger house/and travel a bit and that's all :). Thanks for listening/reading. Peace and Love! DR

The horror in theather 9
This world has so much horror in it sometimes.
We go along thinking all is well and life is good and then BAM the outside world comes slamming into our nightly news and welds itself onto our brain with excrusiating pain. The thought of sitting in a dark movie theater and waiting as I have done hundreds of times in my life for some enriching fun escaptism to take me away is now a reason for mini-panic-attacks. Ive been to 2 movies since the tragedy in Theater 9 in Aurora Colorado on July 20, 2012. Spiderman and "The Dark Knight" The Batman movie that was playing that fateful night. It was all I could do to stay seated while the credits began at the beginning of the show... Truefully all I could think about is what part of the movie did he throw that cannester of tear gas and what row was the first poor victim sitting in when he raised his rifle and pulled the trigger? Was it loud and action packed or the slow part where Batman dances with Catwoman? I shrank alittle in my seat and held my purse on my lap because I knew I could stop a bullet with my big heavy filled with junk purse.... pfffff. What crap... If it had happended in this theater would I fall over my friend to save her life or would I step over everyone in an effort to save my own? Would the 3 boys that sat beside us be heros or like the guy who ran all the way home and left his family in theater 9???
I do think of those 3 men in Theater 9 that gave up their lives for their girlfriends. What amazing bravery. That is what real men are made of. What greatness is. I hope that when they got to the hallowed presense of Father in Heaven that he hugged them all with open arms and praised them for their selfless acts of courage.
I dont know what drove this crazed killer to do what he did, but he has taken yet another piece of innocence away from all of us. Dragged humanity down to a dark place that we fight so hard to pretend does not exist. Was he a bad person, was he possessed by satan, or did he just feel so alone that nothing mattered, no one mattered. Loneliness, a sense of being disconnected from others is a very dark place indeed. We need to reach out more to one another. To care about each other more. I know Iam bad at gathering those I know who need more love and encouragement up and giving it to them. But I do pray for more insight, for more love in my heart to help those I know need it. Including maybe even my self.....
God Bless us all, Save Us All. And give us all the courage those 3 young men had in that Theater on that dark July night.
