I woke up this morning and something occurred to me....
I can choose if I want to be happy or NOT. I put the word N O T cause there are many other words that mean NOT...(angry..discouraged...etc) but I don't want to feel any of those things.


I had to walk in the rain a block this morning to get some coffee to get my morning started because Sergio is getting sick and had me up most of the night...so coffee was a definite must this morning. As I was walking...and the rain drops hitting my face...It occurred to me each drop was a reminder that God sends the rain on EVERYONE. But not EVERYONE recognized the drops creator. 
I don't want to be the kind of person who looks at Gods creation and doesn't see it for what it really is. There are many people out there who have no sensitivity or eyesight to see what God has given us each day. I WON"T be that person.
The rain...a gift.
The clouds...a gift...
Crying baby...YES....a gift


Most people have trouble with COMPLAINING about everything that doesn't fit their " way".
I've been guilty of this...


But I'm trying to get better.


But the rain may make it a "pain" to drive to your destination this morning...but God saw fit to send the rain so enjoy it. Cause it is GOOD.


Look for the good in everything....
Try to not be so pessimistic...


Be blessed because our God is the same today as always and ever more :)

Its a new dawn...its a new day.....

Its been quite a while ..hasn't it? Well.....I think that its about time to start this up again. It was...and always has been therapeutic to write here.

So here I am :)
Nikki.
Mother
Wife
5 Incredible children that I believe WHOLEHEARTEDLY that were given to me specifically by GOD.
Friend(I find I have simplified my friend "list" . Or should I say OTHERS have simplified it for me.)

I am on a quest right now.
A quest to find out if I am still the person I was when I began this journal.

I believe I am not.

I feel God is doing a "transplant" with me....
In with new...and better...
out with the old...and well...immature.

SO many times in my life I felt like I've had blinders on and God has removed them at HIS time to show me certain things. At this point of my life...I'm 43 years old...I have 2 adult children...2 teenagers and 1 toddler...HE is showing me something else. Something VERY important and I wish to share it with others.

So this blog will be a "sharing" of sorts....of what God wants me to share with you as HE shares glimpses with me :)
