I've not asked a lot of questions from readers of my blog in my many posts, and it's not because I don't want to know what's going on with you or if you can relate; it's mainly because my brain is firing thoughts through my fingers as I'm posting. I try to get the ideas... Continue Reading →
Diet & Stress, Facing the Giants
I've created stress in my corner of the world. I've come to realize that a lot of it is of my own making, either through something I've said or done, the way I reacted to what was said or done to me, or not saying "no" to additional projects. Stress is stress, whether it's a... Continue Reading →
Trying For Kindness (Trying)
I can make changes to my life, but I've come to realize there are certain things I cannot change. I can't change people's minds, I cannot do a lot to fix the world, and I cannot be something I'm not. Today I'm reflecting on the life choices I've made, knowing there is no time machine.... Continue Reading →
Helping To Fill A Need – Volunteering
This morning's thoughts are brought to you by the ever-present, first cup of coffee, so blame that if you have the need. I don't always have an extra dime when it comes to helping fill someone's need, nor do I have unlimited time or energy, but once in a while I am called to help... Continue Reading →
Hoarder vs. Prepper vs. Collector
What's the difference between a hoarder, a prepper, or a collector? Two could be defined as storing things in excess, on the off chance that one would need these items; the third, well, the logic and justification of collecting specific items escapes me this morning. A prepper collects and stores items that could be used... Continue Reading →
Puppy Power
I don't know if I have mentioned that I have a new dog. We adopted him the end of March from the local shelter and named him Shadow since he seems to be a Velcro-dog. Wherever I am, you can find him. We ran his DNA and it turns out he will grow into the... Continue Reading →
Waiting On The Brew – Stealing That First Cup
Ever patiently wait for the coffee maker to finish brewing before grabbing that first cup? Nah, me either. I try, honestly I do. I have a morning routine that I take care of after I turn it on, but most times, I'm stealing the first cup. Thankfully, my coffee maker has the cut-off feature that... Continue Reading →
Minimalism, yea or nay?
Daily writing promptDo you believe in minimalism?View all responses I like the concept of minimalism; do you hear the "...but..." coming? I purchase items from various sources (yard, estate, moving, and garage sales) to sell on several different platforms, so a minimalist lifestyle would not work for me. I guess the happy medium would be... Continue Reading →
Giddy-Up! (an ebay sourcing story)
One of my hobbies is ebaying, because I like finding unique items to put back into the world that would otherwise end up in a landfill. I find these things at thrift shops, as well as yard, garage, estate, and moving sales. My most recent foray was an out-of-state moving sale that included a full... Continue Reading →
People Watching
Some people like bird watching; I like to people watch. There are so many opportunities during the course of my day - grocery shopping, red lights, restaurants, parks, and yes, even church functions. I seriously have no idea what is going on in people's heads, so it's kind of a hobby for me to create... Continue Reading →
