Thsi morning I have been contemplating whether to post parts of the stories I'm working on, here on my blog. What would be the pros and cons? The only downside I could think of is that someone could publish my work as their own. Don't you risk that very problem if you have an outsider... Continue Reading →
The Benefits of His Grace
This morning I was simply going through the motions. My prayer and reflection time has decreased to almost a non-existence lately as I battle my health issues, but then this morning I plugged into some of my favorite music. One song spoke to me; it described a wind that goes through you. Doesn't that sound... Continue Reading →
Exercise Amid Illness
So I've got something medically wrong that crops up from time to time, specifically, vertigo (dizziness for those who don't know and don't want to look it up). This week it is bad and let's add a migraine-quality headache that has contributed to my downtime. I was getting back into my program, but this week... Continue Reading →
Arm’s Length – To Hug or Not To Hug?
This morning's writing prompt came from a thought I had about relationships, and just how close I'll let anyone get to me. I am not a hugger by nature; I keep most people at arm's length unless I feel a hug is warranted. I wonder if that is a trait of introverts or is it... Continue Reading →
My Dying Garden
I have determined that I do not possess a green thumb and think I'm finally ready to acknowledge that the grass truly is greener on the other side, because that's where it's watered more. There's an age-old lesson to be learned from this that applies to life and relationships and perhaps I'll dwell on that... Continue Reading →
Workouts – Three Steps Forward…?
It seems that lately I've let life get in the way and have put what's important to me on a back burner. I'm talking about finishing my weight loss journey and dropping into a maintenance level. I'm sure not kidding anyone when I say "lately"; this happened after last year's heart scare. I was clicking... Continue Reading →
Update: Our Little Dog, Shadow
By the way, when I say, our "little dog," he's not so little anymore. When we got him, he weighed just under nineteen pounds; I weighed him at the vet's a couple of weeks ago and he has gone from that to almost seventy! He's about seven-and-a-half months old , so I'm thinking he's going... Continue Reading →
It’s Another Hot One!
Those in the know predict another possible triple digit day today. If you're experiencing these temperatures, how are you staying cool amid all you have planned? Have your plans changed? My garden is definitely suffering! I've been debating whether to get some shade cloth or let my garden die in peace, but this morning I've... Continue Reading →
The Right Bait?
I've been struggling for a few weeks now with a decision, no, a "choice" is a better word. Every which way I turned, I wanted to make this monumental choice, not seeing the downside to it. See, lately I've been helping others to the extent that I feel as if I've lost myself. I've been... Continue Reading →
More on Geese Families
I've written about the geese families, this week I experienced it first hand. Last week I visited extended family and took my daughter and my two grandsons with me. The road trip up and back was uneventful - no drama, which, looking back on the drive itself is a bit noteworthy, but I'll save that... Continue Reading →
