I just can’t move off of II Tim 1:7. (Regular readers probably have memorized this verse along with me.) “God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but one of power, love, and self-discipline.” I get love and self-discipline, but I waffle on power. Today I came upon a thought provoking statement . . . → Read More: Return To Power Sitting down is something, before I retired, I rarely did. Anyone who has a home, children, and works full time needs no explanation of that. After those things were removed from my life, though I continued to be active and healthy, there suddenly was time to sit down. You would think after 35 years of . . . → Read More: Sitting Life, Running Life “You get credit for what you finish, not what you start.” ~ unknown Whether it be a diet, a novel, a race, or a project at work, you never hear of anyone getting credit for starting it. Starting something usually happens with a burst of energy – like when the gun goes off . . . → Read More: Start To Finish Yesterday morning the national news reported that wealthy people are more apt to lie, cheat, and steal than those of us that are not wealthy. Why? Why is that? Don’t they already have it all? This thought crossed my mind, but I let go.

This time it was Alan Jackson singing “Remember When”. When that song was popular, years ago, on the country music charts, it was also popular with my husband and me. Laying there, reluctant to put my . . . → Read More: The Sleep Timer Strikes Again I’m having a good time with my pencil drawing class. So far in the first class I’ve learned there are 5 pencils, each with different degrees of hardness. I’m also learning how to develop my own personal stroke.

All the other weeks were four day weeks, with the break coming on Wednesdays due to commitments both in the morning and evening. The four day weeks were good – but the real benefits are found . . . → Read More: Urgency Revisited Most people who know me know that I am well-acquainted with daytime TV, from the morning news, right on through the afternoon talk shows. They yammer away in the background as I go about my business of blogging, editing my book, researching my book, or practicing my daily pencil drawing exercises. Today I was irritated . . . → Read More: Clarice! Wow! ….mid-life, that is. Your grade school years seem to last forever. Every birthday between five and ten years of age seems to take 730 days to reach. The years between ten and sixteen move a bit faster toward that ever so coveted driver’s license.
