Covered in Layers

LAYERS OF LIFE. EACH DAY OF LIFE WE ADD LAYERS. IT COULD BE LAYERS OF GOOD OR BAD, HAPPY OR SAD OR JUST ANGER AND FRUSTRATION AND SOME LAYERS ARE JUST PUT UP BECAUSE THEY ARE PRETTY AND SOME ARE COVERED UP BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST UGLY...
This is just a photograph I took last summer while walking through an old house that was falling in that once was someone's home.
So I suppose what I am saying is I feel covered in layers of life and I do not know which layer to take off.  Why because I do not know where to begin. You can try to save the best layer but what if you take off the wrong layer and destroy the one you are trying to save.   So I suppose you just try and pray that God is holding your hand to help you make the right choice.
I have not posted in a while and I have not been keeping up with all other there in blogger land but Life has a way of  making us realizing we only have so much time and energy. 

My Mom did get out of the hospital. She is home but somewhere her fight and spirit did not come home with us.  She is still very weak and sick..  I keep looking for that woman I call Mother but I can not find her instead I see this little lady that stares into a empty space and looks very tired..  Sometime I see her but she seems like she is covered in layers and every once in awhile a piece falls off and I get a small glimpse of my Mom.  It is all in God's hands.
So Hospice has come in to help and trust me it is not enough help.. In life there are only certain times that I wish I had been blessed with more income. This is one of those times when you want to take care of the people you love and money is an issue.. Such as Life..Right... 
I suppose I am just rambling on and if you have not been reading my blog you will wonder why is she writing about all this.. It is called the love of family.. My Mother and my friend.
I want to thank everyone of you for your prayers and your kind comments.. 
Thank you so very much.

Where is the quiet>

I need to hear the quiet in my head.  My Mom went into rehab last Friday to get stronger from being in the hospital.. Things went wrong and that did not happen.. Instead they did not do their job..They were to take care of her and they did not.. Sunday we had to bring her back to the hospital where now she has pneumonia.   She is very weak and tired but she is a fighter..  I have been staying at the hospital with her.
If you are reading this  I ask for your prayers for my Mom...
Thank you,

First Love.....

Sitting at the hospital and now getting my Mom into Rehab to help her regain her strength..I have been working in my sketch book.  I put it in my back pack with my pencils and crayons. and off we go to sit and sit...
I don't know where she came from but it is titled First Love...With the hearts and it seems to me she just received her first kiss..  Do you remember your first kiss?  Well let me hear those stories.. I know you remember but do you want to share..LOL...I remember my first kiss. It did not make hearts on my cheeks..It was terrible..HA HA.
I want to thank every one for your thoughts and prayers...
I hope everyone has a blessed weekend.

May you always dream in color.

Wating for my Mommie to come Home.......

If you read my blog You know I posted about My Mom on my last post....This is her baby Jacksone looking out the window.  My Mom is in the hospital since last Friday.  Yet again Thank God she is better but she will have to go to rehab to regain her strength.  So Jacksone misses her very much and she does miss him.  That is her baby.....

So all you guys who read the last post and ones who didn't can go back and read it.  There was a blogger  who sent me a message if she could use my Mom for a painting.. She did and it is wonderful. Joji captured the moment perfect.  You should go over and give it a look.. Ok since I still have not learned to figured out how to do it the easy way .  I will have to just type her blog and then you will have to search for it .Sorry computer dummy.  Please send me step by instructions on how to do that....  Her site is called  The art of Joji Roper Todd .   Thank you Joji...
If my words are all jumbled up..I am tired, { I ask for all your prayers and thoughts for my my Mom.

Prayers and thoughts and inspiration to all of you.
