It's funny how a day can just end up a blur. But I guess with my brain generally occupied and often going 90 miles an hour, it's probably not really a surprise. It could also just be old age. π Didn't end up getting to bed until a lot later yet again, so I slept … Continue reading 2025-07-10 (Thursday) — Return of the Bean Smoothie π

Alohar! π Not really all that much to say about today. I would say it was more of a comfortable blessing day? So I just realized that when gratitude is at the forefront of my mind, even uncomfortable blessing days are actually more like comfortable blessing days because I'm grateful for everything, so it all … Continue reading 2025-07-09 (Wednesday) — No Fly Zone
2025-07-08 (Tuesday) — Beautiful, From Start to Finish
I love Temple Tuesday. π₯° Today has been such a wonderful day--beginning to end. π I actually got a decent night's sleep last night, despite being parked in the parking area just off the side of the highway. I had my fan running and my white noise app pumping rain sounds to my marshmallow ear … Continue reading 2025-07-08 (Tuesday) — Beautiful, From Start to Finish
2025-07-07 (Monday) — On To TT5!
Well, it's 6:30 right now, and I'm getting a jump on riding my journal entry because I'm likely going to be driving to Casper tonight, or at least a good chunk of the way tonight, and I want to be as ready to just fall asleep as I possibly can be when I decide to … Continue reading 2025-07-07 (Monday) — On To TT5!
2025-07-06 (Sunday) — Not Down For Long π
Much better today. π I'm grateful for the gospel and for forgiveness and for love. I'm grateful that every day can be a new beginning. I'm grateful that every moment can be a new beginning.

2025-07-05 (Saturday) — Tough One
I'm not in a good place. I'm tired, frustrated, angry, discouraged... and I know I shouldn't be, and I am anyway, and... I'm just... Not in a good place. I feel like I just keep making crap decision after crap decision, and I feel like no matter how hard I try, I just make things … Continue reading 2025-07-05 (Saturday) — Tough One

Happy Independence Day! ππΊπ²π Currently, we're getting a fireworks show from nature, with something like 55 mph wind gusts, and rain pounding down hard enough that it's actually leaking in through my roof onto my bed through the bolt holes that I used for the solar panels. Oops. π Gratefully, I'm not the me of … Continue reading 2025-07-04 (Friday) — Precious Freedom, Of Multiple Kinds
2025-07-03 (Thursday) — Still At It
Okay, so I'm kind of going backwards in my getting to bed on time. π I was steadily working in the right direction, but the last few days... Not so much. π It's coming up on 11:00, and I'm still journal writing. Oops. Because I've been getting to bed late, I've been sleeping in as … Continue reading 2025-07-03 (Thursday) — Still At It
2025-07-02 (Wednesday) — Sun All Around, Cloud Over Head βοΈ
I'm fighting off a heavy dark cloud right now. It was a super-productive day today, so... a day full of many of the more comfortable blessings... the easy to receive ones, but I'm... still feeling down and heavy. Best morning routine I've had since I've been making concentrated efforts again in that area. Decent gospel … Continue reading 2025-07-02 (Wednesday) — Sun All Around, Cloud Over Head βοΈ

Hello, my lovelies. π Happy July! π Joyful and happy day for me today. π I didn't get much sleep last night, I think mainly because I was sleeping on the side of the highway at one of those parking areas that they have off of the highways in Wyoming. Even though I had my … Continue reading 2025-07-01 (Tuesday) — The Joy of the Lord
