Life is too short to not be myself…
Last night, I was thinking about gratitude and thankfulness. I know they are related but they aren't the same thing. In that moment, I was having a hard time separating them, so googled it and one site said that Thankfulness is a feeling and Gratitude is an attitude. I guess that's where we hear "Attitude...

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 →
So it looks like 4am is my new morning time. It's been pretty consistent for a couple of weeks now. I tried to make myself stay in bed till 5am the other day and ended up dozing off and on till almost 6am and I'll tell ya, my mood was OFF. I wasn't cranky but... Continue Reading →
Mornings are quickly becoming my favorite again. I used to get up early all the time but at some point mornings got really hard... really hard. I couldn't make myself get up and after an hour or two I'd be ready to go back to bed. Now, I'm up by 4:00 or 4:30 and I'm... Continue Reading →
So, yeah, I'm still getting up super early... yesterday it was 2am but today it was about 4ish and it was on purpose so that I could see the full moon eclipse. It was so beautiful! Of course, this photo does not come close to doing it justice! I am so glad that I got... Continue Reading →
Y'all, I do not know what is happening... For months, MONTHS, I haven't been able to even think of getting out of bed before 6:30am, usually closer to 7am and now suddenly, as we are preparing for time to change, I'm fully awake and ready for my day no later than 5:30am... that will be...
