A Quick Explanation...

..First of all, let me apologise for the quietness around here of late! I can explain...

..I am sick. =P But, my fever is gone now, and all I have is a sore throat and a slight headache, so, praise the LORD! It was no fun, though, as all of you most likey know. First you're cold...then you're hot...you don't feel like eating...yesh, very wonderful. I seriously haven't eaten for two days! So, I just wanted to let ya'll know about that, and HOPEFULLY I will be back to the blogging world very soon.

Blessings to you All!

Winter is Here!

..Well, the weather outside it frightful, but the snow is so delightful! As there's really no place to go...

~Let it snow, let it snow, LET IT SNOW!!~

...I am enjoying this little bit of whiteness that has decided to visit in time for Thanksgiving. Goodness, our area hasn’t had a white Thanksgiving for…who knows how long? I certainly wasn’t around. ;)

The fire is crackling merrily, as I’m sure it is in most of your homes which are blessed with a wood stove…it is just such a part of Winter, to me! A mug of warm Sugar Cookie Tea in my hand (SCRUMPTIOUS tea, ladies—do try it!), an ear warmer over my head, a scarf about my neck, and my school books in my lap. *Sigh* ..Not to mention the dozens of water troughs outside waiting to be unthawed…=)

Anyways. I am enjoying the snow, and though we only have about an inch…it is snow, nevertheless! Today some dear friends are coming over (LORD willing, with this weather!) to watch a movie with us. I am excited, as we haven’t seen the for some time! Also, another exciting thing coming up…another sweet friend is going to be guiding my sister, a few other young ladies, and I in making our own regency dresses! I am thrilled…we may even get to go to a ball, if all works out. Yay! Have any of you made an “old-fashioned” dress before? Tell me, what color was your’s? I am still in the hard decision of what color to make it…

Is There a Path to Yesterday?

People tell me life is like a road.

A long,

Terrible,

Beautiful road

With little paths beside it,

Each leading who knows where--

Perhaps to Marriage,

Perhaps to Fortune,

Perhaps to Disaster.

Is there a path to Yesterday?

A little hidden lane, perhaps,

That none can find but we who are in need--

A hasty word,

A hurried choice,

A sharp regret that needs to be set right.

Is there a path to Yesterday?

Sheer nonsense, so I'm told,

Perhaps it is--I wouldn't know.

The worse for me and all of my laments:

Unaccomplished dreams,

Lost tempers never found.

Still, it's a pleasant thought

That I could undo every slip--

I cannot blame my muddy road for all.

Is there a path to Yesterday?

~~Note on poem: there doesn't need to be a "Path to Yesterday!" Though we may regret many things and need to ask forgiveness of others sometimes, Jesus has forgiven us of all our past wrongs and thrown them away, if we ask Him. Hurray!~~ 

Blessings,
