Alphabet Soup Garden Varieties

I've been in counselling and pain management therapies
this anti-inflammatory diet has me feeling better
down ten pounds in four weeks isnt too shabby
making healthier choices isnt so bad but I do miss
My Chocolate! darn it all dark cocoa mix with stevia
simply doesnt cut it and yes I will grumble about that!!!

getting ready for a road trip got my laser blue Jeep
just about all packed up as I have little things left
shook out my tent from when i went to Huntington Beach
I do believe a good quantity of South Carolina sand
is now a rent free resident in an otherwise clean carpet
to be not so gracefully removed by our local steaming dude

well Im headed back down to my fave Florida
gonna take in the sights at the Miami Zoo
I like the Frost Art Museum and the contemporary one
might even drive down to Key West again just to do it
or simply fry myself on a beach someplace with a book
as always I will fast in prayer drinking liquid protein

dont know how long this old back and bag of bones
can handle the road and sleeping in the Jeep or a tent
Im sure I will stay at a cheap motel sometime
but I would much rather save the money
and jump out of a perfectly good plane again
cause excitement is always a fun thing...

catch y'all on the flip side of the slide
love peace and chocolate bars
 
I'm camping on Big Pine Key. Today I found a branch to use as a walking stick, wondering through the Key Deer Preserve. The rocks are coral, and the terrain is tough to walk on. I was reminded of Our Walk with God. He is our crutch, when we allow him to be. He keeps us from falling and getting hurt. When we listen we are rewarded, like I was with views of bright blues and greens of the ocean. The deer came around tonight looking to be fed. We seek sustenance to keep us steady, and healthy just like these beautiful creatures. ...just sharing my tent bedtime thoughts. Love peace and prayers...

Hello thenami;

Is Big Pine Key and Key Deer Preserve both in Florida on an island? When you say the rocks are coral, is that what made it hard to walk? I love how your time there kept God in the center. Overall it sounded like a great time!

God bless you and thank you for sharing, sister.

Just a quick post as I'm running out of power. Here in the Florida Keys, yes the rocks are mostly made from coral. The island I'm camping on is Big Pine Key, where the preserve is. I went to Fort Zachary today, which is on the farthest west end of Key West. The water was rough and colder than last year. It also wasn't as Caribbean blue. Kinda disappointing after driving 17 hours. Me and my road trips. Still love my laser blue Jeep. Thankful for time to enjoy God's creations. We made one heck of a diverse planet. Hugs and love, ox

I do not know these places ypu mentioned, but you know how to make them come alive. I agree, God made an amazing and diverse planet.

Enjoy the rest of your time there.
Safe journeys and God Bless. Xx
 
Dedicated to the Big Pine Key Camping Crew... hope you find this write :)

as I gather sunshine like random thoughts
my tan skin beams with gracious gratitude,
this old soul is no longer weary with knots
because it also has been barbecued,

Big Pine Key deer dance as sunsets melt
across pool blue with emerald hue oceans,
before twinkle nights kiss Orion's belt
and shooting stars mix champagne potions,

campers connect over laughter's chowder
like a word stew as it simmers along,
to converse anew and cook jokes louder
as the melodies stir memories song,

around the fire pit crackles make shape
through natures philharmonic performance,
the beautiful day does slowly escape
from these moments without conformance...

I find great hope
comfort knowledge
my thirst is quenched
as His words smother
worldly thoughts
while I pray in meditation

I behold this day
is wonderful beautiful
my heart understands
there is no famine inside
when our Father fills me
with love mercy salvation

I will fix my eyes upon Him
for I will hide my sight
far away from this place
and upon Christ our lord
eating the meat of His word
as my soul is refreshed

He shall repair within
all that is shattered
might I rejoice
in my misfortunes
as these lessons
deliver me into kindness

grace charity empathy
shall follow calamity
my treasured gift is patience
and my most precious reward
is eternal life in heaven
a place prepared for me~

amen

sometimes joy doesnt come from the sweet and gentile
but out of pain misery strife and hardship
for happiness can be discovered in the smallest of things
as inspiration from progress is truly a joy in the heart
it cannot be seen nor measured only we know its there
yet it makes me shine on forward like the light I am
which is Christ in me :)
 
endurance requires
determination
flexibility adaptation
the ability for patience
courage to change
strength in doing so
going forward
not looking back
knowing everything
in this life moves
as we are connected
one to another
through this cycle
of living on earth
through Christ
with prayer
and love~

gourmet cooking can be enjoyable
food perfumes fill the air with fragrance,
preparations sound delightful to me
but I may experience an absence,

travelling immerses me in culture
from fashions to music it might be new,
architecture is always different
but my soul still seeks for something to do,

museums share creations for all to see
like designers share their clothing dreams,
we wear the latest styles that we like
dictated by artists or so it seems,

but the one puzzle piece the world forgets
is the one greatest master of them all,
for he grows spices fruits and flowers
painting across the land having a ball,

His greatest symphony plays through he trees
while the oceans roar in His excitement,
breathtaking fall mountain views he colors
like earthly layers through His brush are sent,

as He dresses the galaxy brightly
with splendor His magic we shall behold,
when our heavenly Father makes it
it is more precious than diamonds or gold!
 
yanno I got to thinking
about this tonight
and it kinda bugs me
cause it just aint right
why do people love
older model vehicles
(and even music)
they call them "classics"
well then what the heck
are women over 50?
we are just old
and that bites
so thank you Father
in the name of your Son
for the day shall come
when I have a new body
and it wont matter
how old Ive been
in this one :)
 
might the Lord quiet my thoughts
for they are not what they should be,

as memories from long ago surface
of circumstances that still haunt me,

so I lift my soul into prayers release
asking to be loosed from this bondage,

while I forgive myself and tears roll by
letting go of forgotten childhood rage,

for how can we cleanse ourselves
if not from the inside first then out,

a naturalistic or holistic approach
wont heal our inner fighting bout,

so as these vidoes play in my mind
I give them to the Lord when they do,

to bury them inside His great love for us
and heal to bid them adieu~
