Life is too short to not be myself…
It was a beautiful day here where I am. Did you have a beautiful day too? The sun was out and it was in the 60s! I spent a good bit time out at DD’s yesterday but ended up going out and spending a few hours with her today too!! We went out to lunch... Continue Reading →
Good morning!! I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning but I did and it was a lovely morning. I came downstairs and looked to where DH’s chair was and saw he wasn’t there so I assumed he was in the bathroom and went silently to the kitchen and made my tea. ... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! GO CHIEFS!! I’m actually not a big football person, but it’s always exciting to have our home team head to the Super Bowl AGAIN!! It’s a new week, a clean slate, maybe even a new chapter. What do you plan on doing with it? I like the idea of a reset…... Continue Reading →
Any worriers out there? What about stewers? I’m both. I worry about the unknown and I stew over it. Like REALLY stew… I worry and stew and when there is some unknown something going on, I worry myself sick. When waiting on news or information, I say everything is going to be fine and then...

I’m up early this morning. It’s been a while since I’ve been up this early. I’ve been sleeping pretty well, but this morning I ache so here I am. Perhaps it’s the beautiful blanket of snow I see outside our window. It’s still coming down. Back when I was pastoring the two little churches, I... Continue Reading →
It’s Christmas Eve. The dog got me up extra early this morning. So I turned on the tree, made a cup of tea, and grabbed a book I’ve been wanting to read for years. DD has been trying to get me to read ever since she read it! I LOVE books. I used to read... Continue Reading →
Do you have people in your life, near or far, who just suck the joy out of you? I don’t know if mine does it purposefully or not. I like to think not but it’s been going on forever. It’s not that they are mean spirited, I just don’t think they think. Even in what... Continue Reading →
I’m still thinking about Christmas… It’s almost here! It’s this weekend! How is it, that something that occurs every single year, on the exact same day, can sneak up on us and leave us feeling stressed? Every year, about this time, I say, “I’m going to starting planning earlier next year!” But do I? Nope,... Continue Reading →
So, as with the rest of the Christmas celebrating population, I’ve been thinking a lot about my Christmas List or as the song says, My Grown Up Christmas List. But in conjunction with that, I’ve also been thinking about consumerism. I’ve thought about this off and on for years around the holidays. I’ve done several... Continue Reading →
