</div>
<div align="center">
Yep....That's me.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
By myself.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I haven't blogged this year because this year has been too painful. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I lost my dear uncle and best friend in January.</div>
<div align="center">
Then I had surgery in April.</div>
<div align="center">
The surgeon accidentally paralyzed my stomach.</div>
<div align="center">
I've been in the hospital almost this entire year.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I then lost my aunt...who I didn't get to say goodbye to because I was hospitalized.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Now I've lost my marriage.</div>
<div align="center">
The Divine Mr. M turned out not to be so divine after all.</div>
<div align="center">
He couldn't take me being sick.</div>
<div align="center">
He wanted out.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So here I am.</div>
<div align="center">
Me and my sons.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The good news in all of this is that I have moved closer to family.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm getting my own place and I truly get to show off my own style.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I can't wait to get back into the blogging world again and share my finds with yall.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
It's coming in a few weeks. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
For all of you who have stood by me...I love ya'll.</div>
<div align="center">
I started a blog to keep me sane when I moved out to no man's land with Mr. M.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm glad to reconnect and get back to the things that I love.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I can't wait to hear from ya'll!!</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
Have you ever watched an ICICLE form?<br />
<br />
Did you notice how the dripping water froze, ......one drop <br />
<br />
at a time, ....until the icicle was a foot long.... or more?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If the water was clean, the icicle remained clear and sparkled<br />
<br />
brightly in the sun, but if the water was slightly muddy, the<br />
<br />
icicle looked cloudy, its beauty spoiled.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Our character is formed in like manner.<br />
<br />
Each thought or feeling adds its influence.<br />
<br />
Each decision we make - both great and small contributes its part.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Everything we take into our mind:<br />
<br />
impressions<br />
<br />
experiences<br />
<br />
images/words help create our character.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Acts that develop habits of hate, falsehood, & evil intent mar and<br />
<br />
eventually destroy us---but habits born of love, truth & goodness<br />
<br />
silently mold us into the image of God!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Character is what you are in the dark.<br />
<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That's what I told myself this week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I could either keep moping and feeling down</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">or I could get up and do something.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So that's what I've done.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The divine Mr. M is putting in a new closet system for me</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and I just had to take advantage of a golden opportunity.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since everything was off the shelves, I painted the wall</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">a nice off white called French Canvas .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It still looked kinda.....mmmmpphh.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I decided to break out a stencil that I've been saving for some pillows and stencil the wall.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Why the closet?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Because I'm a big, fat chicken.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the look of stenciled walls but would never commit to myself doing it in a major room.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I can barely sign my name legibly, yet alone paint.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, I'm starting with the closet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm stepping out on a limb and trying something new!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I can't wait to show ya'll the fininshed product.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
