Ten Things of Thankful – Better Late Than Never (Again)
Two weeks ago, I got my TToT in just under the wire. One week ago, I thought about my TToT list a lot, but never actually wrote it. So I had to ride the wave of thankful happiness all this week. This week, here I am again, right up at the edge of the weekend,…

Ten Things of Thankful – Just Under the Wire
Making these Ten Things of Thankful lists has been a really positive thing these last couple of weeks, so I wanted to get one in before the weekend is over. Starting the week with a focus on what is positive makes a great difference in how I feel about starting the week. For starters, I’m…

Focus on What We Do Have
It’s very easy to get frustrated and upset with your life circumstances when things aren’t going your way. Very easy. Unfortunately, I’ve been doing a lot of that lately. I’ve been doing a lot of whining and complaining and asking God “hey, when is it our turn?” It accomplishes all sorts of negativity and creates…

Focus on Right Now
I am a very impatient person. When I decide I want something done, I want it done yesterday. Or sooner. I think I’ve always been this way. There are so many things in my life that I can recall wishing would happen faster, end faster, take less time.

On Burdens, Strength, and Balance
No, I have not abandoned my blog. Honest. I have not left the country, joined the French Foreign Legion, won the lottery, or found a vacancy in a colony on the moon. Kinda feels like it, though. I’ve been feeling a bit like Dorothy, whirling about in the cyclone of life.

Focus on Nothing
I have accomplished a whole lot of nothing over the last week. My To-Do list (that wretched thing) has just as many items on it as it did two weeks ago. It’s not for lack of effort or lack of finishing the tasks set forth there…it’s that as each item is crossed off, another (or…

Turning the Page
Time passed. Phase completed. Mission accomplished. My breath of fresh air last night gave me just the inspiration I needed to push through to these “ends.” Now I can turn the page, smooth the book open, and begin the next chapter.

What Really Counts
I waited in line for over an hour to vote this afternoon. In all the years I have been casting my vote, I don’t think I have ever waited that long. I expected to hear quite a bit of grousing (yes, I use the word grousing) from the long line of voters who were waiting…

The Aftermath
Hello again, Friends. We spent a few days without power and then a couple more without cable, phone, or Internet access. All has been up and running again since the Saturday After Sandy, but I have been caught up in some sorting…

Good for the Body, Good for the Soul
Late last week, I was feeling a bit run down. Not physically ill, but more like worn out. I know several other people – friends, colleagues, family – who have been feeling similarly or are actually sick. So I started thinking about the things that make me feel better when I am not well in…
