positively yours

Negativity has a way of rendering people helpless because they take a "woe is me" mentality and spread it around like the opposite of honey. We all know the type(s) who could look at the world on a string and bitch about the string color. I think it's a whole big mashup of childhood experience and expectations of adulthood. Truly? It's tough and there was a time when I couldn't wait to be legal and buy beer with pizza. What has transpired between then and now is a whole lot of stories woven like a tapestry and together? They are my life. Nobody can take that away from me even if I don't follow somebody's rules. It is between me and my God to decide if I'm using my talents wisely. Not to say that I don't have whiny momentsdays and cry like a girl because "i'm tired". That is something that I inherited directly from my dear mother and have passed onto my own dolla' gentral daughter. Life is NOT always fair and that sucks but what are you gonna' do? Wasting precious time dragging others down is what the devil loves to see happening. Divide and conquer you know? Get thee away from me!

Ryder is fattening up because she eats ten times a day which is what you have to do with a litter growing under the barn. She is calmer now and adjusting to the new family, gently including aunt Sophie. The boys get livid when Chester shows up and won't let him within a half mile of the barn. They are a protective pack, to say the least. Hatchet man will NEVER get me without bark warning.

Mom and daddy went to church together yesterday for the first time in months and months and it was a huge ordeal for all involved, but worth it. I figure she'll pass until Easter. Lori matched up her earrings on the fly and promised to pick out an outfit for next time. Her hair was done, not that church makes a difference because that happens every week on Thursday, weather dependent of course. Daddy goes to see Doyle now and then but not often enough. I saw pictures of my Aunt grannny and her kids today and shamed myself for not walking across the parking lot more often.

the budget is right so I'm not going to be able to afford many more straw bales and will have to produce with what I've got perched out back. The herbs are potted and seeds started in flats in the kitchen. All we need is sun, and that's exactly what today looks like. Y'all enjoy the day ^j^
