I woke up to another cloudy day here on the east coast with a splitting headache. I suffer from migraines and I had to stop taking the medication that kept them away because the medication became toxic to my body.
I’ll never forget my first migraine. I was in high school in physics class and all of a sudden I could not see the right side of the room. I didn’t know what was happening, but I tried to carry on the rest of the day. On my way to English, I had to look back and forth across the sidewalk so I could see where I was going. I struggled through the class and on the way out of the classroom, I fainted. When I awoke, I was in my Algebra teacher’s office. I was so sick to my stomach and started throwing up. My teacher told me what was happening and that I would be fine.
From then on I’ve suffered from migraines. Never knowing when they would come on but very thankful to God on the day’s that I didn’t have a headache. When I start my day’s off this way, I am reminded of Rev 21:3,4.
3. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among His people! He will live with them, and they will be His people. God Himself will be with them. 4. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. “
And all I can do is close my eyes and say a prayer of thanks.
God’s peace be with you all.

Well, the last time I tried this, I made it into a long dissertation! So I’ll try again.
I was born in Asheville, NC, USA. I graduated high school in 1976; yes, that makes me 60 years old! I graduated from Western Carolina University with a major in Financial Accounting. I went to WCU because it was in the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains.
My career was in Healthcare - Financial Administration. I was married in 1980 while in Asheville. We soon made our home in Richmond, Virginia. The marriage ended tragically in a divorce.
I remarried in 1987 and my husband and I transferred to Greenville, SC where we still reside. I left my last hospital as a Controller to have a baby. Robert Andrew. That was in 1995 (that was 24 years ago)! I had been in healthcare for 22 years.
After my son turned 7, I went back to work as a controller of two small businesses. That was a very rewarding experience. But after 5 years my father became ill and once again I had to stop working.
Growing up in Asheville, I began riding horses and taking riding lessons at the Venable Academy of Riding in Fletcher, NC.
I rode for many years and after too many “meetings” with the dirt, (accidents) my riding had to abruptly end. I filed for disability in 2010 and haven’t had a job outside of home since then. My passion was dressage.
Today is February 15, 2019 and after taking a break for about a year, I’ve decided to return to my blog page where I reminisce and write about interesting things happening in the world today.
I hope you’ll follow my blog and give me your take on today’s “political arena”, or things that have made a profound impact on/in your life. Come join me “for a trip around the world”.
