TToT – Falling into Place

Another week has flown by…and it’s been a big one. I don’t even think I’m going to need those Guard Virgins this time around! It does not escape my notice that there seems to be sort of a theme or motif running through our lives right now. As I talked about in my last post,…

Reflection

Reflection. The throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it. An image that is seen in a mirror or on a shiny surface. Something that shows the effect, existence, or character of something else. A thing that is a consequence of or arises from something else. Serious thought or…

TToT – Back From My Break

A friend recently told me that she wasn’t aware I was taking a break from posting here. Neither was I. But it seems that’s exactly what I’ve done. Other than my TToT posts, the last few weeks have indeed been something of a blogging break here. It’s not a bad thing and I’m not apologizing…

TToT – Letting Go

I’ve been missing from blogland a little lately. I can’t say it was anything intentional – more of a development as the last couple of weeks unfolded. It’s been a bit of a bumpy road lately and I really thought about bagging the TToT this weekend just to take a breath. But I’ve said all along that…

TToT – Light from Darkness

As I was putting together my list of Thankfuls for the week, I realized that there was something of a theme at work. We’ve had several “darker” moments this week – things that just haven’t been the most positive or haven’t gone quite the way we would have liked. But in several instances, a positive…

TToT – Fastest Long Week Ever

I’m really not this late in posting…I had this ready on Saturday morning. Somehow, I failed to remember to link up the post, though. So here it is, better late than never. This week has felt incredibly long. And yet, since Friday evening I’ve found myself frequently wondering how the week went by so fast.…

Not Your Day to Win

This post has been a long time coming. Mostly, I guess, because every time I sit and write some or think about the words that inspired it, I end up with really conflicted feelings about it – one day the whole thing spins very positive and another day it spins off in the absolute opposite…

TToT – Snow and Ice Edition

Is it really the end of the week? I’m not sure exactly how that happened. Maybe it’s because we had a three day week again…snow days Thursday and Friday and here we are in the very wee hours of Saturday already. So yeah, I’m so not prepared for TToT yet. I think we’ll wing this…

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.
