Share Four Somethings November 2025

Once again the end of a month has snuck up on me. I am sure at this point no one is surprised, LOL! Our house officially sold this month (praise God) and we close on December 16th. This has added another level of busyness to our already busy year. I am looking forward to being settled again soon (when we find another place!). (started this post in November and now it's 12/5) Our prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up are some things we loved, somethings we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of. We are linking up with Jennifer! 

Thursday Encouragement 11/20/25

It has been a long week! I am thankful it is Wednesday and the weekend is in sight! Our house is officially sold, with all the obstacles removed and we will be closing in a few short weeks. We have looked at 8 houses so far this week, in between working and going our regular things. While we are ready to find our next new home, we are trying not to rush into anything.

Thursday Encouragement 11/13/2025

We had snow for the first time this season. I was not ready, but it was pretty! We still have a little snow on the ground, but each day has been progressively getting warmer, so it will be gone soon. If you are following along on the house saga, we are officially under contract again, but they still have to sell their house. We are praying that their house sells and they fulfill the contract to buy ours, and that God would provide the right house for us, in His timing.

Share Four Somethings October 2025

Well, I completely spaced that last Saturday was the last weekend in October.

Thursday Encouragement 10/30/25

This has felt like a long week and with it rainy and dreary this morning my motivation got up and walked away. I should have worked out this morning, instead, I offered myself grace and the ability to get ready a little slower for work. My body is very kindly getting me ready for time change by waking me at 4 am 😬. Despite being tired and on the edge of grumpy, there are things I can and am thankful for.

Thursday Encouragement 10/23/25

I went back to the doctor last Thursday. He extended my antibiotics by another 10 days, added two nasal sprays, ordered me to get 15-30 minutes of sunshine each day we have it, and go back on my inhaler (that I rarely use because it's for "as needed.") I am finally feeling better (the cough and some congestion are still here), but I am definitely improving. I have started getting back into ALL my routines this week, and was thrilled to be back with my ladies Bible study group yesterday morning. 

Thursday Encouragement 10/16/2025

I had a health setback this week. I started getting sick again last Wednesday, which means I never really got over what I had. I went back to the doctor on Sunday and I have a secondary bacterial infection. She put me on an antibiotic, but I am still sick. This crud does not want to go away. 

Thursday Encouragement 10/9/25

This has been a get back into the normal routines week (but add a few extra appointments). I have been tired this week and realized the new med my cardiologist put me on was causing me to have trouble sleeping. So, I have weened myself back off of it, and am hoping for better sleep, or at least for my sleep to regulate to where it was. I am already looking forward to the weekend, even though we don't have any plans.

Thursday Encouragement 10/2/25

I went to the doctor on Friday and I had some wheezing in my bronchial tube. She did an xray, and thankfully I did not have pneumonia. I was still pretty sick on Monday, so my boss gave me another day off. I am thankful for all the days of rest because this virus has kicked my butt. I finally feel like I have turned the corner and am healing.

Share Four Somethings September 2025

September was busy, but with lots of good things! Elijah started college, we had a family reunion, and I resurrected my Thursday encouragement posts (and hope to keep it going!). I have been sick for the last week, but hopefully I have turned the corner. Our prompts for the Share Four Somethings link-up are some things we loved, somethings we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of. We are linking up with Jennifer! 

Thursday encouragement 9/18/25

I used to do Thursday encouragement posts weekly, but I got derailed. I need all the encouragement I can get. So, I am going to try to resurrect this practice in the hopes that I can offer you some encouragement, or if no one reads it, a place to put things that have encouraged me, or that I am thankful for, or that made me laugh. So, it's probably going to be more of a catchall post.

Thursday Encouragement-on a Friday

I used to do Thursday encouragement posts weekly...but my last one was in 2021! I am not sure what got me derailed, but I need all the encouragement I can get.

So, it's probably going to be more of a catchall post.
