Last night I was watching Smash, a new show that I’ve really enjoyed this season. It was nice to see a show not about crime and punishment or housewives. It was nice to see a theater setting instead of a hospital. All in all, it kept my interest to the point that I DVR’d it . . . → Read More: Just Stand

Yesterday was shop Ikea day, so today was put it all together day. If my daughter and her roommates were impressed with my ability to read Ikea directions a month ago, they should’ve seen me today. I put together not only a bed, but a dresser, a nightstand and…are you ready for this one….an armoire. . . . → Read More: The Mindful Ikea Champ Yes, TWO posts in ONE day! I do make myself proud! 🙂 Riding back home on the red line to Braintree my daughter texts us “thank you for coming. It was so much fun!” I answer her, then I get to thinking how we came together for a brief few hours, and now we are . . . → Read More: And Off We Go… Today we had tickets to the Yankees/Red Sox game in Boston. We were going to meet our daughter for dinner and the game. The weather didn’t look promising – a certain rainout. At noon we talked to her and discussed meeting places. I was ensconced in my recliner engrossed in the second book of . . . → Read More: The Late-Great Rainout Yesterday, while cleaning, I came upon a journal I started in the fall of 1980. There were only two entries in it. One from 10/17 and one from 10/26. I wondered why I stopped writing. Then I read the entries. The last one on 10/26 went like this: “I never paid attention to how I . . . → Read More: Now I Know “Where The Years Went” I still can’t believe I’m called back to Ecclesiastes 1:7…. “God does not give us a spirit of fear and timidity, but one of power, love, and self-discipline.” I even removed it from the wall paper on my phone, thinking I no longer needed to read it a hundred times a day – and I . . . → Read More: Needs Nothing I’m reading such a great book that I have to give my review of it before I’m even finished. It’s called “Let It Go” by T.D. Jakes. Many have written to me about my posts indicating they are facing some of the same struggles, so I just have to share this book with you. . . . → Read More: Let It Go My Lucado words of wisdom this morning were: “The God of surprises strikes again. It’s as if he said, “They can’t wait any longer. They came this far to see me; I’m going to drop in on them.” God does that for the faithful. Just when the womb gets too old for babies, Sari gets . . . → Read More: He Still Moves Stones I learned something very important today. I learned the difference between not giving up and not giving up. No, they are not the same. One comes from fear and one comes from love. If you’re not giving up out of fear it: Always feels bad Motivates grasping Seizes control Insists on certainty Needs everything . . . → Read More: Fear or Love? Well, that just about covers it all, doesn’t it? After writing that title I had to laugh at the amazing numbers of categories I had to check for this blog. The combination is a bit weird, but who am I to question when the universe moves and speaks? Sometimes I’m sent a variety of . . . → Read More: Jason Mraz, Bikram, & Mockingjay |
