Noise Cancelling headphones - GAME CHANGER!

    I'm still here, I haven't forgotten about you. I haven't had a picture or a "thing" that has intrigued me this week that I thought I needed to write a blog about. Plus, writing a blog about Jerry is going to be hard to follow! Thank you to everyone that shared that blog. Someone told Jerry about it, he came in the store and thanked me one day last week. I said for what?!?!? He said someone showed him what I wrote 😊. I was grateful that he read it and got to see how much he means to everyone who knows him. I printed it out for him and am working on all the sweet comments for him as well.

    I'm back on my personal development kick 😁.  I did listen to a book in between the podcasts called The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It took a little bit to get into, but it was a really good book. Heartbreaking. Now I'm back to personal development and reaching your full potential kind of thing. John Maxwell, Rachel Hollis and Tony Robbins. I got these over the head noise cancelling headphones and they are AMAZING!! I put them on when I'm cleaning house, cooking dinner or when I just don't want to hear what is on TV. I can still hear through them, so don't be alarmed that I'm ignoring my children. I am not. It's good for my mental health though, to be able to tune things out at times. Now, if I could just get all these things in my head to come to fruition 😉. One thing at a time though.

    That's been my #goal for this year... working on my mental health. I'll take you along with me, so you can see how messed up I am, LOL. What's that movie with the tag line "We're all a little mad?" 

    My heart has been SO HEAVY for my community. There are a handful of people surrounding my little village that are going through cancer and just aging and honestly, it's breaking my heart. I know that all I can do is pray for them and be there if they need anything. That's what I will do, I just wish it was more. I will pray healing over them because I know the ONE who can heal them, if it is His will. The hard part is accepting His will. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9.

    Thank you for sticking with me. Thank you for following and sharing. Thank you for letting me into your world with my "wandering words." I love you💖


Wishing you sunny skies and green pastures,

McKession

Day date 3 generations Chicken ladies     It's 10:00p.m. on a Sunday night and I am still waiting for the laundry to get done, I'm listening to a live "Reel" on Instagram from The Budgetnista. If you don't follow her, DO IT! She's amazing and has some great advice. I'm a multi-tasker. I can watch/listen to this reel and type this blog and wait for the laundry to get done and and and. You get my point.  I feel like the month of September was a blur! The pictures above are just a fraction of what I have been up to. We had some extra catering jobs through the Merc. Charley has cheerleading and church on Wednesday nights and then all the other house/business owner/wife/mom chores there are also. Like why do my people want to eat every.day?!?!? I am learning to delegate and let the kids do more (although it won't be done the way I would do it, I need to let that go and let them do it) and it really hasn't been that bad. I keep reminding myself "at ...

Cherishing Togetherness

  9/15/12 - Our wedding day 9/15/24 - Mr. Bill turns 90 9/13/24 - because it's too pretty not to share with the world!!     This weekend was a weekend for celebrating. Garrett & I "celebrated" our 12th anniversary on Sunday. I put "celebrated" in quotes because we actually didn't do anything. I went to church, Garrett farmed, then we went to my mom's to help close the pool for the winter. It's not really about the pomp and circumstance for me. Anniversaries are like Valentine's Day in my opinion, you should show your person you love them daily, not just once (or twice)  a year. At the end of the day, we are both just grateful for the other and the role each plays in this marriage. Marriage is not 50/50. Sometimes he is giving more than 50% and sometimes I am. Sometimes I have to be the primary parent and sometimes he does. We are a team, we run this family like a mildly well-oiled machine 😆. When I met Garrett in 2009, I don't think he k...
