Recipe for the blues

What do you do when you're having one of those days that get you down, when it seems you'll never get to the light at the end of the tunnel?
Why, you get on your good horse and ride toward the light.....
and even if it seems far away and out of focus, the light is still there, and you can look around you and marvel at all the blessings God has given you, like a good dog by your side....

and the beauty of the land, and the creatures therein,


and know that as evening sets in, all is well, and tomorrow is another day.

And then you go in and bake an Angelfood cake. With creamcheese icing.

we all have those blue days:( but we have the Most Holy Virgin and Jesus to comfort us. in these times, we lean on Jesus and trust in Him. i know i do. i tell Him many times everyday, Jesus, i love You, and I trust in You! shirley is a fine example of a sister to me, and a Christian. i know i can have a happy day when i talk to her:)
