Dear Reader,
Thank you for reading my blog posts!
I have been working with a professional to upgrade my website. He has taught me a lot, but I’m still feeling my way around. I am a chalkboard girl who struggles to live in a touch-screen world.
My new blog was designed and created by a friend and former corporate technology professional, Brian Robertson, who now runs his own business providing both handyman and technology services. For information about the services Brian provides, view his website (www.theferventservant.com) or contact him via email at brobertson@theferventservant.com.
I named my site The Happy Geranium because I love geraniums. Unlike other showier flowers, geraniums require little care. They bloom their little hearts out whether in shade or sun and when well-watered or parched.
I want to be like a geranium, faithfully doing what I was created to do: Blooming, so to speak, without fanfare or a need for constant attention.
More than that, I want to be content being the unique person I am, living in the specific place and time God chose for me. A geranium who strives to be an orchid dooms itself to a life of disappointment.
Some of my posts are written to encourage my readers to bloom where they are planted. Others are written to reflect lessons I’ve learned from Bible studies or from living life for over 60 years.
Some posts are written merely to entertain and possibly cause readers to chuckle or to say, “Ain’t it the truth? I know just what she means.”
Please continue reading and commenting. Also, if you think a friend might enjoy one of my posts, forward it to him or her. I love gaining new followers.

The Happy Geranium 
Hi Debbie: Love your new website — Brian did a great job! Keep on writing. Sharon
Thanks. I agree. I’ll pass your compliment on to Brian.
You don’t have to “be” a geranium, you already are!!!
Thanks, Cheryl. Readers like you keep me writing!
You are my blooming geranium as I know I can always count on you to brighten my day no matter what. I count you as a dear friend.
I send the same sentiment back to you, my lovely friend.
What a great choice. Fits you perfectly!! Like Cheryl and Belva said you are a beautiful blooming geranium and brighten my whole week.
Thank you, Shirley. We all have to find our gifts and use them wherever we are planted. I’ve seen you demonstrate this many times in your life.
I like this Debbie! Although we live far apart, I’m so thankful we have been able to stay connected in this way after starting our friendship more than 40 years ago!
How can it possibly have been 40 years, Becky? I won’t say you’re one of my oldest friends, but you’re one of my “longest-time” friends!
Love your new name.
It’s a joy to read your blogs. I like to read them in bunches so that my joy is multiplied:)
