Anxious…

What makes you most anxious?

Lack of timeliness on the part of others. For example, the insurance company taking its time paying the plumber and me having to explain 3 times to them the situation (Only because I had to write out the explanation twice before I could actually get someone on the phone to). Our house, when we first bought it, had an ongoing leak behind the walk-in shower in the masterbath (this was not evident when we walked through it). We didn’t know this until it had gotten worse and we started smelling mold. (We bought the house in October 2021). The plumber who we hired to fix the leak, said the leak happened when the shower was installed. I then found out through a neighbor that it was installed 3 to 4 years before we bought the house. So this leak has been going on for that long. Hence our homeowners insurance paid for the mold removal and restoration, but the process has been long and lengthy. All kinds of anxiety here.

The above situation is a much longer story, but this is the gist of it. Thank you for “listening.” I truly mean that.

Morning’s Dream by L. M. Montes


The sun winked as it peeked
over the horizon’s edge,
a dark sky faded to dark pink
as light beams struck,
shadows materialized
out of darkness,
casting over lawn,
I woke to breezy tickles
of coffee dancing on my nose,
one eye propped open,
a door creek spoke it’s ‘mornin,’
scents of sizzling bacon
thundered throughout senses,
blanket off,
legs swing ’round,
slip on slippers,
hit the ground,
my eyes wide open,
the door is closed,
it’s still dark,
no coffee I suppose,
the ceiling greets me as I lay in bed,
the clock says midnight,
and I dreamt instead.

Movies or Shows Watched More Than 5 Times

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

The original The Parent Trap with Haley Mills. It’s my all time favorite, and I’ve seen it many many times.

Life’s Soccer Field

Life is a soccer field. We have goals to reach. There are ideas we kick around on our run toward our goal. Yes, sometimes we are thwarted by life working against us. We stumble and fall. But then we get back up, work our ideas in a new direction, maneuver around life or do a fake out if need be, then we run head long toward the goal. If someone is there to stop you, try again.

He’s There by L. M. Montes

Weather tempests mock and scowl,
grabbing with windy fingers, push and howl,
through it all our focus be,
on Him above who gives to me,
but sometimes we forget,
how life can get us wet,
turn away and look to nothing,
or stand and pray for hope or something,
just know that in your prayer,
God is with you, yes, He’s there.

Superstitious?

Are you superstitious?

No. Not at all. God is my Rock. Jesus is my salvation, and the Holy Spirit lives inside of me. The Triune God.

Animal Comparison

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

A cat because there remains in them a sense of freedom to do things their way.

Nature’s Haiku by L. M. Montes

A lone flower wilts,
Sun shifts beams smiling upon
its petals giving life.

Rain pelts earthly growth,
too much washes life away,
leaves mud it its wake.

Bright skies lift spirits,
breezes sing sweet songs of joy,
now warmth reigns anew.

Woosh of waves soften
sleepy sand as it hastens
building dunes upright.

Dreamy pink hazy
lands of slumber kiss eyelids
closed as night reclines.
