I do not like cleaning my house. My husband used to say I hated all 4 letter words- cook, wash, iron, and the five letter word.- clean. I've been cleaning and resting, cleaning and resting, trying to get it all done for my Red Hatters who are coming over Friday. It is not so easy cleaning when you get older, but I am getting it all done. Just wish I had a maid.
Anyway, the upstairs looks decent. And most all the dirty clothes are washed. Need to put them away.
I've cleaned the wood floors downstairs and vacuumed the rugs. Carpet looks good. Had it cleaned several week ago. So whew! That was the biggest job. Clearing clutter and dusting is next. Well, resting is over. Time to continue.
Well, I'm back- mostly done for the day. I'm so excited that the screen door , where my dog made her own doggy doorr by pushing out the screen, is now fixed. The neighborhood hardware came to my house, took it out with much difficulty, fixed it, delivered and installed it today. It looks great! Now my dog just goes to the screen and looks out. I had to train her not to jump on it. So now she doesn't.
I;m on scheduled pretty much. Most of the dusting and clutter will be done tomorrow. I may do a little before I go to bed. Until next time.

Journaling Today - Rain or Shine
I am having my Red Hatters over for a cookout next Friday and it's an 80% chance of rain. They were so disappointed that I cancelled that I have now decided to have it rain or shine. That night the village is having the Shirelles come for an outdoor concert (indoors if raining) with fireworks after. So I've made a list of things to do. Getting my sliding door screen fixed is first on the list. Since I tried a few times to take it out and couldn't, I called the neighborhood hardware store and the owner is coming to my house tomorrow morning (Saturday) to remove it, take it back to the store to fix. Hopefully he will deliver and put it in again, since I can't.
Next, I'll need to move furniture from garage to deck on Saturday evening. May need help moving furniture. So I'll see who I can find. Since it is a "bring a dish social," I'll provide soft drinks- diet and regular. Sunday I'll shop. Now that is planned.
Last thing is to clean my house. Today I'm washing clothes and straightening up the 1st floor laundry/mud room. This week I will:
Monday & Tuesday - vaccuum and dust, declutter, get rid of old magazines,
Wednesday & Thursday - clear tables & counters, wipe down the kitchen and shine the wood floor.
Friday - get my clothes ready, take a nice bath, relax, do my nails and put on my purple & red. Alrighty then. I'm ready!
So, I pray Lord for your help in getting everything done and made ready, in Jesus Name.
I also pray for a sun shinny day! Amen :-)

Getting Healthy with God's Help
I am happy to say how much better I am feeling. God is answering my prayers for healing. Several years ago, after my husband passed, I was diagnosed with PolyMyalgia Rheumatica, which is an autoimmune disorder that affects muscle and causes stiffness and discomfort. The medicine prescribed has serious side effects, and a high dosage is necessary in the beginning. I have been getting better very slowly over the years and now take much less of the prescribed medications. However, in the last week or so my body has been doing even better. I look forward to new tests from my doctor and lab work to see the metabolic changes. I see both a functional doctor and regular medical doctors. My aim is to be completely off of prescription medications.
The prescription medications have caused additional diseases and more medication and it seems to be a conspiracy of some kind. Several years ago I read an email article from Charisma Magazine written by a prophet who had a vision of doctors hiding their faces under surgical masks and moving around hospitals and medical offices dispensing prescription medication to patients, and when the masks were removed these dispensers of prescripton drugs and medication were demons. I was so sick at the time that I read this that I got angry because the drugs were all that was helping me. I didn't believe what I was reading. But I never forgot it. Now I believe it was a message from God though His prophet. I am not completely off the medications, but am off some and others have been reduced. My functional doctor has ordered tests that normal doctors don't and she has so far has prescribed vitamins where I have deficiencies.
My body may be getting all the needed vitamins and minerals for the very first time. After watching Christian television and seeing another doctor speak about the need for 90 essential minerals and vitamins and how much of what is wrong with us can be healed just by giving the body what it is missing and not getting from the foods we eat. I've been adding a vitamin mix and minerals to my morning fruit smoothie and this may be making me feel better. This morning I only had an apple and didn't want to use it in the smoothie, so I used a carrot. What a lovely orange color it was. I'll do that again since I don't always eat my carrots before they get old. Next I may try a raw beet. I just bought several of those. I have also used spinach and even salad greens when I was not in the mood to eat the salad after I bought a spring mix and it was loosing its freshness.
Speaking of greens, today I listened to Dr Fuhrman on PBS, who promotes healthy eating to heal the body and prevent serious diseases. What I remember from his lecture is something he said, "Remember: G-BOMBS," which stands for Greens, Beans, Mushrooms (cooked), Berries and Seeds. Eating these foods will help us loose unhealthy visceral fat, get rid of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and help the body fight disease. Eating beans flushes calories right down the toilet he said. So I will remember G-BOMBS in my eating plan. Also, I'll read his book, which I bought some years ago but didn't want to change my eating habits from the Standard American Diet (SAD) at the time. Now I'll study how foods work against us and some work to bring us into good health. Scheduled exercise is also in my plans. This time I will do more than just the water exercise class. I'm ready for a little more exertion since I am feeling pretty good.
God is good, so good. He is giving me the faith to walk in divine health through prayer and declaration of His Word, and I'm learning how my body works inside and learning about the foods that will help me be healthy.
Also, I eat only organic foods and avoid GMO, unless I am eating out. Then I am careful to order the healthiest foods available on the menu.
Something new I am doing that is helping me become healthy is Earthing. Almost a year ago I learned about Earthing, bought an Earthing sheet and never used it. So about three days ago I put it on my bed. I could feel my body releasing electrical charges and built up stress. I also purchased Earthing shoes so that my body could get re-charged from contact with the earth. Now I am wearing them. I don't wear them all the time because they don't go with everything, like nice feminine dresses. :-) But when I don't wear them and I am outside at a picnic or concert, I slip off my sandals and let my bare feet nestle in the grass and contact the earth underneath. This too has made me feel better. I sleep well and am not getting up at night as before. So all is well with me and getting even better. God is taking care of me. He is my Husband and much more.
I pray God will bring readers here who need to know what He is speaking to me and others about how to get healthy and stay healthy naturally.

Happy, Content & Writing Again
Wow! I haven't been here in over 4 years. Glad this space is still here. A lot has happened. First of all, I've become more active with my chapter of the Red Hatters. We're all about having fun and I need that to break away from the seriousness of life. There are eight of us, all royalty. We have a Contessa, a Dame, founding members, then later came a Lady, a Lady-in-waiting, a Baroness, an Empress, a Princess and the founding Queen Kathryn, which is me. We've been to Hawaii and planning on Mexico next. There have been several trips to Florida with my best travel buddy, Contessa Joyce. I moved my prayer room to my big master closet right in front of the window where the sun rises and light streams in. So in the morning I enjoy my Bible reading there and my devotions and my personal conversations with God. I love this morning time. I can pray for my family, friends, community, and the President and his family.
Speaking of the President, I am grateful that God let him have a second term even after some of the really big, unbiblical things he has loosed on this nation. But would a Mormon have been better that a compromising Christian? I guess God thought not. So now to see what God accomplishes for this nation through him in these last couple of years of the Obama administration. I pray it will be something glorious with the backingof God. I am glad our President has done some things by executive action since an opposing political Congress has opposed him at every turn.
I have the greatest companion. I'm loving my little dog Chloe. She love me unconditionally. She follows me everywhere and watches TV from the couch with me and when I am preparing my food and eat, she eats her food, waiting for me to bless it before she digs in. My cat Sam, is an outdoor cat now and he comes and goes as he pleases. I believe he has a second family. :-)
My son came home and stayed with me for a couple of years while going back to the university to take courses in preparation for a new career in education. Now he is teaching in Florida at a charter school and making a difference in the lives of middle school boys and girls. He really likes doing this. He has earned both a certificate in leadership and student counseling and past a general knowledge test for teaching. Math is his teaching subject and he is also certified as a coach. So he can do several jobs as an educator.
My daughter has resumed her given name and is a free woman living in a great apartment, teaching Yoga and being an elementary school librarian. She and I get together once a month or so to have dinner and see a movie and go shopping. I really have fun with her.
My favorite thing to do is go on family vacations that include my grandchildren who are grown but still like being together. We sometimes go to Canada in the summer and recently went south to Florida. My least favorite thing is maintaining this big house, but I want to have a house big enough and here for my family whenever they need it- when they need to take a break from the world and regroup. My home is a respite and a place of healing with the Spirit of God here to nurture and restore the soul. I love being alone with God here. Though I know the future of this house is more than for just me and my family. God has shown me He has big plans.
So until next time. Be blessed.
