Hot Humid and Rain.

Heat was the word today.. we went to a matinee and it poured rain .. but made it even more humid. the movie was Southpaw.. sad but a good movie. Got a text from my son so know he is doing okay.. was a tad worried due to some things he has been going through.. saw Hunter last night.. he is 6 months old today and such a big boy! a happy baby and so sweet.. Allie growing to be a beauty! pre school soon!

today

It was a great day because my granddaughter brought the greats to see us.. Hunter Ray is such a good happy boy and Allie is getting prettier every day! Amber brought a breakfast pizza from Casey's to share with us before we went to church and it was so nice to have them here.. if only for a short time..I gave Hunter his stuffed lion I got for him and a hotwheel car and Allie a pair of jeans I found at Goodwill.. I love shopping for them! We attended church after and as always, Pastor Harold delivered a great sermon.. tonite we are settled in for the evening.. Jose is watching the final episode of Nakit on Netflix and I am dabbling on the computer between Blogger and Facebook..and it looks like maybe we could get more rain.

its 2015 and wow.. so much has happened!

I have been absent a while from here. I think maybe a couple years at least.. retired.. two new great grandkids.. Allie age 3 and Hunter. almost 6 months. I think maybe I have had a couple accidents resulting in broken bones since I last posted here.. knee arm and hip in that order.. but I can still navigate.. I will be 66 in October! My time has flown!

Wake Me Up

Wake Me Up by Ruth Salazar on Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 3:20pm · Wake me up, Lord! bring me out of this slumber I have fallen into the things I have not seen, reveal! A lifetime is slipping by and I need to see the people in my life that mean the most to me Not the ones who turned away the fair weather friends all gone today but the ones who remained true the ones who always had hopes in me confident that I would make it through days of darkness and discontent days when all hope fell to the ground days when I thought God was no where to be found! I cherish those few and because they knew the best in me was there I open my heart and allow them to see the love that they placed there!

by Ruth Salazar on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 at 5:57am · On this day, realize the possibilities With every breath you breathe be thankful for life For God gave you this day to accomplish something be it large or small No one else can do what you can You are unique in your abilities You are one of a kind So, step out today and make a difference Don't waste the day on dreaming There is a mission to be set out upon by you and only you

by Ruth Salazar on Monday, October 22, 2012 at 7:44pm · Sometime yesterday I dreamed of a brighter day A day when worries and sighs didn't exist Where the sun shone bright and clouds drifted light In a blue sky that extended beyond forever butterflies and birds and softly spoken words floated along in the wind so beautiful it was I didn't want to wake up Seemingly, so far away today what happened to that wonderful dream Sometime, yesterday?

Restless Heart by Ruth Salazar on Friday, July 20, 2012 at 4:15am · My heart is restless my soul cries out for those I cannot help prayers and hopes throwing them ropes that land beyond their reach What can I do? Why can't they see? Hope for them in me. Sometimes I cry not knowing why all my deperate pleas evaporate somewhere in the sky Prayers not strong enough? Days not long enough? Why is this restless heart not free? Someday, silence won't answer Someday, I will hear Him say, "Hope doesn't float You are the lifeboat. Prayers are heard every single word I am listening to your restless heart!"

Next Day

Next Day

The day after Christmas is often a day to return gifts..take down decorations and try to get your life back to a state of normalcy. "Putting Christmas away" till next year can be a busy day. As I look at my decorations and the little trees with lights that I brought to my home...I am thinking thoughts of what Christmas meant to me this year. I didn't do the usual stressing over buying and didn't really worry about what I would get. Since the year had brought quite a bit of sad events, I tried very hard to reflect on what I had to be thankful for and to keep my spirits uplifted as best I could. It wasn't easy at all, but whenever those thoughts crept in, I would drrect them to blessings rather than the lack in my life.

I don't want to "put Christmas away" this year. I want to keep the remembrance of the ones that were happier, and to think of the coming year as a year of promise and better times. I want to be able to promote the thought that Christmas is more about giving love than giving material things. I want Christ to be Who people think of on that day and the next and the days after.

This Christmas was a nostalgic one for me...missing those not present, and thankful for those who were. Family, friends and a church family that has become more like actual brothers and sisters has made Christmas and the next days something to look forward to every year. Peace be to all of you in the coming year. Keep the next days as meaningful as the day we celebrate Christ's birth.

Dad

I can't help but think about him today..cause he was my dad. The guy I only got to know for just under twenty years. He was my best pal, the one who got to hear my thoughts first hand and the one who was my first love cause he knew me better than anyone else. I am thinking about him today cause this was his birthday and also the day he got to meet his daddies...his earthly daddy and his heavenly Daddy...Jesus. I never knew Grandpa cause he passed just a month before I was born..but I felt like I knew him cause Dad spoke of him often and I have his picture with Dad perched so proud on his knee. Dad was adopted into the family who raised him and he took their name because that is just what you do when those who love you enough to take you to be their own. I miss my father very much, even though it has been many years ago that he left..It was his birthday when he entered into his heavenly home. I think of that day as being heaven's gift. It wasn't a present, as much as it was a life taken from this earth and given back to a Father who loved him enough to share him with us, but needed him back for a reason that I will never know. I just know that someday we will be together again and it will be sort of like old times...only better!
