Be Happy~ :)

As much as we would like everything to stay the same, we are ever evolving and changing. Life is a journey and how we handle things good or bad is how we determine happiness.  I was really sad when I lost my husband and best friend, but I stayed in the word of God and with my church family I was able to feel whole again!  I started dating the end of last year and he is a wonderful man that I have known 43 years.  We never know where our journey will take us, but I believe if we let God guide us then we will be okay!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will direct your paths.

My World

My life has changed so much since the first time I blogged on this page, I have moved from my Hardscrabble home in Dodson Branch to my childhood home in Gainesboro, Tennessee!

I am 15 years old and I am standing in the kitchen of the house I grew up in.  I bought the house from my siblings in 2010, our beautiful mother passed away in 2009 from complications of a brain tumor.

Our mother on Christmas morning one year cooking breakfast for us!

I lost my husband in 2017 to cancer and I will love him and miss him dearly for the rest of my life!

Time doesn't stop for anyone, and we have to keep on living.

If you have lost someone in your life and are grieving their loss, let me tell you some things that I have done to make the last two years easier.

1. STAY BUSY!

2. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY!

3. TAKE SOME TRIPS!

4. KEEP LOVING PEOPLE AND LET THEM LOVE YOU!

5. PRAY, LET GO AND LET GOD!

Diary of My Life with Steven

Life is always exciting. He was diagnosed when he was 3 with autism. Most of my time is devoted to Steven. Most of the time he is a good kid/young man... He has really bad aggressions and behavioral problems. He is very jealous and protective of me and that makes life difficult with other people. Thank goodness for his grandparents that help me with him. We live one day at a time, and pray that God will see us thru... I learned a long time ago not to pray for an easier life, pray to be strong enough to make it another day! So far, so good....

The day Steven was born~December 14, 1988

Steven Tyler will be 31 on his birthday.

He is doing well, considering the changes in his life, he lost his step father in 2017 and then he lost his bio dad in 2018. It is just us now and he seems content. He still goes to Nannie and Pa's every once in awhile.  He stays by himself while I work.  He seems to have matured so much in the last year and wants to be independent more.
