Reflecting Over My Journey: Things Have Been Changing And More To Come

Every September is a new year for me. Also, it's the ending of Summer and the transiting of the Autumn Season. It's was a good transition. I'm coming along in my New Year.

Through the years, I've enjoyed the Summer months. Then the years come and go. Things change. We have to go with the changes.

Since the first Friday in June 2017 there was no Friday night gatherings at the church I've been attending.  I loved gathering with the church on Fridays. Well, things have changed.

I've adjusted to the changes. It appears that my Friday nights has changed as well. I'm back to what I somewhat use to do on Fridays. 

I will admit, I've been lazy on Friday nights during the months of June through September 2017. It took me a while to overcome the changes. I doing okay.

I've been doing other things on Friday nights. I rarely gone out. After 23 years of gathering with the Church on Friday, it' s takes time to want to do other things.

I have cultivated some new things over the months. I've been practicing things. I think I'm coming along with it. I used to not going. It appears that regular, Friday night gatherings is a thing of the past.

I would always look forward to Fridays. Sad to say, I don't anymore. Now, it's just another day.  I have a new attitude.

I'm learning to enjoy my Fridays and everyday now. I look forward to the day that I'm in . Not just the certain day of the week. But, each new day.

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. I'm learning to do that every day. It's good to gather with the church on the set time during the week. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my every day life.

May we reflect back over things in our lives.
May we see the good in changes that come.
May we make the best of what we have in the time that we have on earth.
Amen!

God bless you.

Still Journaling On My Other Sites

I haven't been writing poems for a long time. I seen to have fallen away from doing so. I have my other sites that I tend to. 

I'm coming along with my family connections. That was the mean reason why I searching blogging. I wanted to record what I find. I have been coming across other long lost relatives.

I had my DNA test done in 2012 or so. I have about 449 DNA matches on Ancestry.com. There are many who don't know there family lineage. It's hard to figure out where people match.

I think some of the people who are taking the DNA test are out to find out where there ancestors came from. There are some who are going beyond that. They are wanting to make family connections. That's what I want.

It's nice to know where I ancestors came from. And it's even greater to contact with relatives that didn't know that they were related. That great joy it is the make that discovery.

I still journaling on my other sites. 
I have other social media accounts as well. 

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.
