It is a beautiful day in our area. The daytime high is predicted to be seventy nine and sunshine. It is perfect grilling weather. My favorite is grilled vegetable kabobs. I first soak bamboo skewers so they will not burn on the grill. I then use a bottle of my favorite Italian dressing, usually Newman's Own as a marinade. I cut yellow squash, eggplant, mushrooms,onions,and peppers into quarters and marinate for thirty minutes. I then thread onto the skewers and grill until tender. I serve with Uncle Ben's ninety second microwave in the bag seasoned rice. With a pitcher of sweet tea and served outside with candles it proves for a perfect spring night. It is these simple pleasures and the company of the ones we love that make life worth living. What are your simple pleasures? Try to enjoy some of them today.

Yes, I am still here. I started this blog with a desire to help others and to share my faith. It has been so long since I posted because I live in so much fear of expressing myself, and possibly being rejected. I spent so many years in a destructive world that the only way I could survive was to go inward and let other stronger parts of myself deal with it. I survived. I live daily with horrendous flashbacks, and the time has come that if I continue to remain silent it may completely destroy me. Will I name the guilty. Let them live in fear. I certainly did for most of my life. The only way to rid myself of these demons is to write about it. My faith in God help me to survive, now maybe a growing faith in myself will help me to live. If you refute my truth, get your own Blog and tell your story. This one is mine one day at a time.
