What you can do today
Today is Memorial Day here in the United States. A day to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and safety. What can you do today? By all means, please enjoy a BBQ, the sun on your face and a cold drink in your hand. Laugh and goof around with family and [...]
Fill ‘er up
“Many of us harbor hidden low self-esteem. We deem everything & everyone more important than ourselves and think that meeting their needs is more important than meeting our own. But if you run out of gas, remember that everyone riding with you will be left stranded by the side of the road, too.” – Bishop [...]
When you know for sure
About 15 years ago, the hubbs and I were working corporate jobs in Houston, Texas. Our life was fun but our jobs were fast paced and often stressful. On a whim, I signed up for a three-day class that took me out of my office cube and into an interactive workshop. This seminar required participants, [...]
Virgo and the Circus
I’m not a big follower of Astrological signs. I mean, I read my horoscope from time to time, but I’ve never put much stock into them. Until I started paying attention to my Hubbs’ Virgo personality: Tidy. Sensitive. Analytical. Logical. Grounded. Keeps feelings inside. Respectful. Dependable, predictable and loyal. And mine (Gemini): Independent. Easily bored. [...]
Hope rising
Have you ever noticed that while everything around you changes and churns, our sky is always there? Oh yes, it’s ever moving, especially those prairie skies I remember from days of old. I found this photo by accident; digging through photos of our soon-to-be-graduate, this one appeared. It gave me pause. I stopped what I [...]
Live & give
Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people. Before you tell me how much love your God, show me how much you love all His children. Before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it through your compassion [...]
“I’m Gay”
Remember when personalized license plates came out? I do and I’ll tell you why. I was a teen, living a country girl’s dream down on the family farm. It was summertime and my days were spent riding my horse, swimming in the lake, and hanging with my cousins. (When I wasn’t pulling weeds, cleaning the [...]
Beauty tips
Smile often. Smile hard. I’m smiling because I love this song and I think I love the video just as much. I loved it so much I’ve added it to my MP3 player for the drive to work today. But first I am going to stop and vote, and if that’s not something to smile [...]
Keeping my Sundays
I don’t know about you but lately, life’s come at me fast. My job’s been hectic and our social life equally so. Recent rains mean the yard needs attention. This old house is always needy and it feels like someone’s calling for me on a steady basis. I have scrapbooks to finish and graduation invites [...]
On perspective
Like many of you, I’ve been working out (more) often and happily, I’m starting to see the benefits of my hard work (I’ll blog more about that later ). The biggest shift has been from feeling obligated and petulant about exercise to looking forward to my time. I’m proud of the effort, I enjoy the [...]
