Illogical and beautiful

How would you define love? For the record, the opening line of this post was going to be "What is love?" I opted not to go with that because I knew that anyone reading this would respond with, "Baby, don't hurt me." Damn you, Night At The Roxbury! Are there different types of love? Or …

There’s No Place Like Home

Photo by Todd Trapani on Pexels.com It may be a few days late, but Happy New Year! Like many people, I was happy to see 2020 get put in the past. What a crazy year it turned out to be. This will not be a post about COVID-19, elections, or remote learning. Right now I …

Giving up the fight

This morning I am pissed.  I know it's Christmas Eve and I should be full of the Christmas spirit.  I should be making merry, eating Christmas cookies, frolicking while listening to joyous Christmas songs, and everything should be covered in gift bags and festive wrapping paper.  But today I just can't. Yesterday I put up …

And one shall glue them together

We are inching ever closer to Christmas.  I think we can officially say we are mere hours away from the big day.  Merry is being made.  Friends and family are feeling festive.  Ugly sweaters are being worn.  Gifts are being exchanged.  Delicious seasonal goodies are being indulged upon.  And everything is twinkling with colorful lights. …

When you just smile

I realized something recently. I don't struggle with writers block. Don't worry. I'm not saying that I am one of those amazing writers that always has something to write about. That's a big fat nope! As a matter of fact, it seems that lately I have been silent more than I've been writing. With that …

Always searching for Orion

I was driving to work tonight and looked a bit like a drunk driver.  The sky was wonderfully clear and dark which made the stars quite visible.  I looked at the sky on the driver's side of my car and lo-and-behold, Orion was following me to work.  Orion is my favorite constellation.  Not because he's …

When journaling won’t cut it

So, I went out and bought a new notebook today. Now allow me to say that, by buying a new notebook, I am truly defining the insanity that is my life. Here is why. Whenever I get "down in the dumps," I go out and buy a new notebook. My thought is that I'll get …

Not grown up yet

Cookout at friend's house on Monday Continue planning women's bible study at church Get rid of eye infection by Wednesday Start new job on Wednesday I finally got a new job.  Hooray for that!  I'm nervous about …

“I am looking for a dare to be great situation.”

Exhausting!  That is the only way to describe this week.  Thank God it's done.  This weekend is going to be a giant ctrl-alt-delete, and next week it'll start all over. I interviewed this week for a job that I really wanted.  I thought it went well, but I found out the next day that I …

Baggage

I have a set of scripture-prayer cards.  I received them as a gift this past Mother's Day, but have not given them much of a look.  If you've read my last couple of posts then you know that I am struggling a bit with who am I and what I am supposed to be doing. …
