This morning I got up hurrying to get my self "together" before my new desk was delivered. When you only know that it will be morning, you have to be ready for the earliest delivery! Of course it was 12:30 when it arrived! To my suprise & delight Trisha arrived early and helped the time go faster. She aslo helped me get my computer dissassembeled and the old desk moved out of the way. Then after the desk came she put it all back together again and the computer works much better than it did b… Continue

Georgia's Blog --- May 3

I went to Church this morning and took my monthly pledge. I visited with a few friends and got greeting and hugs from quite a few more. One friend and I went to lunch together and I suprised her by treating.
I called all three of my children this afternoon to make sure they knew there were weather warnings coming their way. (Tornado warnings in Sharon's county) I could only leave a message for my son, they were probably coming home from a weekend in their RV in the Georgia mountains (Cloudland C… Continue

What a bad girl I am!! Over a month and not a single blog!! There were a few gives but not near as many as there should have been.
On the way to California I spent at least 10 hours either on an airplane or in a car. While in California we spent a lot of time in the car and then there was the 10 of the same comming home. While I really enjoyed the trip with all the beautiful new places, my back did NOT. It took a long time for me to really feel like doing things and I spent a lot of time in my r… Continue

Georgia's Blog --- March 23

What a beautiful day today. Sunshine and over 70 degrees!! I had several errands to run and I thought I would get started early. I went to the bank and got some cash for the trip. I went to the post office and filled out a form to have my mail held for the few days that I will be gone. I also picked up some boxes for international mailing. Then I started to the car wash. Along the way I called Trisha and when she realized I was going to be on her side of town she said she would meet me at my nex… Continue

Georgia's Blog --- March 22

I thought I would "blog" early today and then get busy on my list of things to do!

It has been a beautiful day today -- we almost reached 70 !

I enjoyed getting back to church today after not being able to go last Sunday. I took the mail that had arrived for my friend Sharon (she lived with me a couple months last summer) and put it on her desk at church since she was not at church this morning. I don't know how long it will take for her to get one bank card to change her address. She was not… Continue

Good Morning Mom! Hope to have news on your Newest Great Granddaughter tonight or tomorrow by the latest! Do you want me to call if it's late into the night or just wait until the morning?

Georgia,
You have not been BAD. You really shouldn't say that. You have been traveling, recuperating, giving and loving. I can see nothing BAD in all that. You were missed because you are so special. Thanks for you words of encouragement. You will never know how much I needed those today. I like being your friend.

Hi Georgia.
Is it not a disgrace how fast time seem to go by, it seems like just the other we spoke on Skype, but so much has happened since then and we seem to have lost contact with each other. Please forgive me for not being in regular contact, my communication skills are below average. Sometimes I feel so bad that I am not able to express my feelings, I have never in all my life experienced so much love, caring and sharing that has happen since joining 29day Challenge. It is amazing to experience the Love. There seems to be no judging, condemning, only trust, understanding a caring.

Thank you for those wonderful gifts you sent over for the children. The blankets are so soft and warm. God Bless you for all you do for Operation Teddy Bear Care. I don’t think you realise that you and your family are the biggest supporters of this group. To be honest it is thanks to you and your family that we are still striving to move forward. You inspire us so much we pray every day for guidance as how to
Make Operation Teddy Bear grow. There is such a huge need, but not much support from the public. I am sure once we get our Non Profit Organization Number we will get support from Companies and public. We can just hope and pray. The answer will come.
Thank you once again, for always being there to encourage me not to give up.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Tons of love

Something about 29 gifts felt right when first I heard of the idea. It's not something I can really explain, But it was an internal feeling that connected with where I am in life right now. However, the reason I thought about joining wasn't because…

Mbali, this is such a pertinent post for me right now. I'm struggling with forgiveness and resentments I hold against someone right now. I know, rationally, that it is hurting me far more than it will ever hurt her... I can't let go yet. I'm working…

Another gray frigid day, no visible and warming outer sun on this Winter Solstice day, and that encouraged me to reach down deep where my Inner Sun is always shining. Today was my last day of picking up last-minute items to include in holiday packag…
