Good morning! It's 8:13 a.m. where I am and I already feel productive. I decided I would treat myself for breakfast today and it was yummy! Now, this isn't a cooking blog by any means. I don't make my own recipes (at least not to share) and I don't take the best photos of my... Continue Reading →
More Empty than usual
So my nest has been more empty than usual. DH has been on the road. It's been so quiet here! In some ways it's been really nice and other ways... well, I prefer to be alone all day and then have him come home to me in the evenings. I finished 2 series on Netflix,... Continue Reading →
Being Productive
Whew! Have I been busy this Saturday morning! I've written the devotions for next week and have chosen the scriptures for the next week's devotions. I've chosen the hymns for the next 3 Sundays and have started looking at Lent! Have I mentioned that I'm a pastor at two small churches about 30 minutes from... Continue Reading →
Time
I tried something a new today. I have a lot I need to get done but I'm always way too easily distracted lately. So, today, I set a timer. I have 30 minutes to do... whatever or 10 minutes depending on the activity. I've made myself push through and just work until the timer went... Continue Reading →
Brrr… What I do on a cold day…
How are you fairing this cold snap that is making its way across the US? I'm staying inside, nice and warm. I've got a nice fire going in the fireplace and I've had my hot cocoa and I just may have another. I've been trying to get some things done but I'm not being very... Continue Reading →
Starting on my list
So the other day I listed some things I wanted to do more of and one was writing. I even said maybe I'd try my hand at poetry. Now, I am definitely not a poet but it was fun to try to just pen a few words together to mean a little something... at least... Continue Reading →
Happy Empty Nesters?
Yesterday was such a lovely day. Both DH and I had tons of work to do. Usually, we go our separate ways to do our work. He goes upstairs to his work area and I go downstairs but yesterday, we decided to sit together to do our work separately. It made for a lovely day... Continue Reading →
The Obligatory New Year’s Post
So, it's a new year. We are almost a month into the new year and I have not done the obligatory new year's post. I'm not really interested in making resolutions or creating a new me or any of that, but I am looking forward to a new year, one that is different and the... Continue Reading →
Silence
Oh my, I have been silent on here for way too long. I guess I just got busy. This empty nest thing has been okay. Oh, I miss my kiddos every day but I'm surviving and even thriving. We had a wonderful holiday season. It went by much too quickly. We all gathered about an... Continue Reading →
Finding a new normal
Well, I've been away from the blog for a bit. I just haven't felt much like writing. I've been keeping busy with sermon writing and worship planning and when I'm done, I have no desire to write. I've been in a weird place but I'm feeling better. A huge interest of mine is alternative medicine.... Continue Reading →
