"Can You Believe It"

Does anyone know where I can cash this 1,000,000 dollar check? 3-11-2018 Perryton, TX


The picture on this one million dollar bill should prove it’s real. My bank won’t accept it, because they don’t have enough cash on hand. I guess I will just carry it around in my purse and hope I don’t get robbed. It’s kind of like wearing a fake 5 karat diamond ring. So many people don’t know the difference, but you wouldn’t dare tell them it’s not real. I found this one  million dollar bill in a library book that was sent to my library on loan. It had, I supposedly been used as a book marker. It may some day become a collectable. I’m sure it has identification marks on it somewhere. It just might be one of a kind. If I hadn’t of told you would you have though I had sold that many books? Well not quite. I just wish.

If you read my blog yesterday you can tell I’m feeling a lot better today. One person even called me today to see if I was alright. I hadn’t realized I sounded that desperate. So nice to have caring friends. They are worth much more than that one million dollar bill. I have even eaten more sensible today. That was probably the most part of my problem. I will see how the change in dieting will show up on my scales in a week. I have spent a better part of the day looking up calories and carbs. It’s been fun to find so many good things that keep the total within my range. I have put my creativity to work. I may have to miss a few lunches at the Center, but I will be ok with that also. I am still wrestling with five pounds that just don’t want to give up. I need to win that battle one way or another.

I have a full week scheduled starting tomorrow. I will be getting everything ready for an exciting week-end at the Lucky Star. I am long past due for this little time of relaxation. It will prepare me for a long hard-working summer in my yard. The mental exercise is as important as the physical. I love sleeping in another bed besides my own, and eating someone else’s cooking. Does that explain why I can’t conquer the five pound weight problem? If so, be it. I want to be happy, and healthy both. If I can manage to clean my house as scheduled, I will be in perfect shape to hoop, and hollers this next week-end. It sure isn’t any fun to clean house, but there comes a time when it must be done. Running the vacuum sweeper is the hardest thing I have to do. But I can enjoy my trip much more if I do my house work before I leave. I will, yes I will, get it done. God bless my poor aching bones. Aleve will help.

God Bless

"I'm Fascinated With Art"

                    Time change sunrise Sunday morning at 8:00. 3-11-2018 Perryton, TX


I made it through the time change just fine. Couldn’t tell any difference in my body, mind, or soul. I caught a glimpse of the sun as it was quickly rising this morning.  The skies were beautiful. The Great Artist was at work at 8:00 this morning. Wish I could follow His instructions better. My art easel and paints have been waiting on me for month’s now. I’ve got an idea, and the things needed to make it come alive, just haven’t wanted to put on my scrubs yet. I’m about to run out of excuses. I need so badly to get it going again. If the inner soul ever lets me get inspired that’s when I will put it on canvas. My favorite art instructor, and mind expert, told me he could read my mind by looking at my art. He proved that to me, and I have been reluctant to be honest much of the time when painting a portrait. I feel like I am painting the subject’s feelings instead of my own. Huh? Is there a difference? I can’t do that and be the sincere person I am.  Anyway I do enjoy doing what my mind tells me. I have heard that President George W. Bush has a collection of his portraits of well known people hanging in the Presidential Bush Library in Dallas Texas. I have seen them on television, and although they are recognizable it is obvious that the artist painted his opinion of the person. Being the humorous person he is, he can do that. He painted his father, ex-President H.W. Bush, and I saw his mother when she viewed the portrait for the first time. She looked shocked and asked, “ and that’s suppose to be my husband?” The crowd laughed loudly. The artist, George W. Bush, is the best thing I like about him. An honest man when it comes to painting portraits. I just don’t want him painting me. Although, I believe all of us might be curious as to what he may come up with. I think I could live it down.

I feel rested this morning, and hopefully will have a better day than I had yesterday. Some days I just get over anxious for something to happen that I know is going to, soon or later. It might be called a pleading child of a Heavenly Father who knows best. I always get over every disappointment life hands me. Yes, I am still a child in many ways, I’m not wanting to grow old any way soon. I would love to hang out with my grandchildren, but they live to far from me. They are a special gift to me from God. They don’t know it, but they feed my learning appetite, all of them. The old saying is, “wisdom comes from age, but intelligence comes from youth.” A good balance comes from putting them together. Oh! How I love the challenge. I just hate the anxiety it brings.

God Bless

"A Past Picture Of Diet-less Me"

                   Myrtle Jean Sharp feeling happier than I am today. 3-10-2018 Perryton, TX


Today has been one of the best weather days we’ve had in months, and I have felt lousy. I could not seem to get a peaceful spirit. I thought of many different reasons that I felt that way, but could not agree to any of them. Everything has been going so great for me for several months, I have had a shouting spirit, and spoke of my joy on my blogs several times. I did get off to the grocery store, but nothing else have I done all day. As darkness was approaching I knew I had to find out what I needed to do for myself to feel better. I pulled up an old picture album and found this picture of me. I hardly recognized it. It reminded me of when I was heavier than I am now, and I certainly looked better than I do now. I thought I had found the answer to my sadness today. I have been depriving myself of all the good stuff I used to eat. I went to the frig and took out a carton of frozen strawberries that I had gotten for my son. I looked at the carb label, and decided I could eat a couple of spoonfuls. I put it back in the frig, and went to my recliner. That little bit of strawberries was so good I had to go do it again. Then I started craving cheese crackers. Instead I got a package of party mix, and just took the whole pack to my recliner and dug in.

Now I am wondering if I want to lose that couple of pounds that I still have on since last thanksgiving. I have lose it twice already, and gained it back plus a couple of more. After seeing this picture of me I may decide to forget the diet, and just be myself. If I have to store all the new cloths I have bought since losing weight I will surely be depressed. Oh! My. What is wrong with me today. I have come to the conclusion that God allows us to go through days like this so He can send us a surprise blessing. I would feel too guilty to ask God for something great, if I was being a glutton. However I did ask Him to give me peace today.

Why is life sometimes so miserable? I can say every bible character I have read about had their times of pain, and disappointments, along with their blessings. I am positive that I will feel better tomorrow, except for gaining a pound or two. That also may have to be taken from my mind, and be just the same old me that I have been for years. I am healthy, and that is the most important thing. Maybe God was warning me today that I was going to get sick from not eating right. To tell the truth, I fully believe He is right. No diet is a good one without a balance of  meat, grain, vegetables, fruits, and sugar. I think I can also balance my intake. I will try.

God Bless
