After weeks and weeks of neglect, I decided to get back in those flowerbeds again. I looked for my supplies: my gloves, rake, and hand trimmers. I couldn't find any gloves, but I headed out anyway. I decided to tackle the front beds first, because that's the part that is most visible. So I pulled…

The Omelet
This morning I was trying to figure out what I wanted for breakfast. Then a great idea hit me- why don't I make an omelet? Well, I could think of a reason why that wasn't such a great thing to do. The last time I attempted an omelet, it didn't turn out so well. And…
Looking Back
I just read a passage of scripture and I wanted to share my thoughts about it. Psalms 40:1-4, but verse 2 really stood out - "He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm" - Sometimes, but…
The Roof
Since school has started back, I have given Moo a sabbatical from walking in the morning. I figured 2 hours of football practice nightly should be enough fitness for a 10 year old at this point. So I waited until the boys were off to school before I set out to walk this morning. A…
Belief Brings Peace
I'm telling you, my mind knows when school is about to begin. Around this time of year, I awaken with my mind racing with a seemingly never ending "To Do" List...and then I write it down...and then I check tasks off as I complete them lol. Anyway, as things have been changing so much in…
Let It All Go
I did it again!!!! I am convinced that my body is conspiring to keep me in bed! My body was not the only thing that was conspiring against me this morning. My mind was in on it too. Have you ever awakened and a gazillion thoughts hit you at once? Well, that happened to me…
The Screen Porch
I overslept this morning!!! I think my body knows that Fall is coming and is starting to rebel. Anyway, I only argued with myself a couple of seconds and jumped up and called out to Moo so we could get some kind of walking in before work. I explained to him that because it was…
Brillo Pad
So, I just finished cleaning my shower. I truly hate doing it, I mean I hate it, just about as much as Moo hates cleaning his room and hanging his clothes up. I looked at the shower floor and realized I needed some heavy duty help in cleaning it, but what did I have? I…
Stop, Look, and Listen
As is my custom on Sunday, I was ironing the boy's clothes this morning, in the quiet of the day. I began to think about this time that I spend of Sunday and how it has become special to me. It is a time when there is no sound, nobody calling my name, or looking…
Gratitude in All Things
I was texting a friend this morning and at the end of the text, I wrote, "I am learning to be grateful in all things." And it hit me: this is yet another lesson that God has been trying to teach me. Instead of trying to control the outcome of my environment and then having…
