Birthday Cake???

I didn't need to do this, and I didn't intend to do this.  I'm struggling with a chronic issue that causes me pain and exhaustion, and I had NO intention of doing this tonight.

HOWEVER.....

If there is breath in my bones, I cannot control myself once I hit the kitchen.  THEREFORE, tonight I made a 1/4 sheet of Ida Walker's (God help me it's soooo good) Chocolate Cake.  It's one of those recipes you really can't freaking ruin, even if you are suffering short term memory issues.  I found that I had left out one essential ingredient (the fat!!!) and stirred in the butter and it was fine. 



If you wish the recipe, you need to contact me.  It is a friends only secret.  And the blessed pictures didn't take.  This is a communist plot..just sayin'...


Huggies!!!

I was gonna...

I was gonna post about being sick.  I was gonna post about lyme disease.  I was gonna post about how folks with long term or chronic lyme disease go through stuff.  I was gonna post about how I am only at work about 60% right now, and that's pushing it, because even when I am, there I'm not even really there mentally, and I'm beginning to worry about my financial future (God told me to shut up about that today), and I was gonna.....I was gonna....

So anyway, I AM gonna post about something real pretty I saw in my yard today and it was one of the blessings in my day today.  You know, if you live in Upstate NY, that winter has been hanging on and it's downright depressing, even if you're not feeling sick from something.  But THIS.....this is a word from the Lord.  It's a blessing, it has the scent of God on it, it is what it is, never mind anything else.  It is hope, it is beauty.  It just is.

Phillipians 4:8 says "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
