#10Thankful – Standing in Motion
I believe I am standing in motion. I worked on a thousand things all week, produced results, and yet I somehow feel as though I have accomplished little because none of my projects can be moved to the “finished” list. But maybe finished does not always equal successful (or vice versa) and just being in process is quite a good thing…
#10Thankful – Another Year Older
So my blog and I both had birthdays this week. My blog is four years old. Imagine that. And me? Well, I’m four and then some. Birthdays have a way of prompting retrospection, don’t they. At least for me. I often find myself reflective around birthdays – take time to consider where I’ve been, where…
#10Thankful – Sharks and Such
I have to be totally honest here. I do not like writing my #10Thankful post on a Sunday evening. And yet, here I am again doing just that. *sigh* So while I am very thankful for so many things, I’m feeling a bit petulant about the whole thing because, well, I would much rather have…
#10Thankful – Home and Family
While it was my intent to have my thankfuls ready to go on Friday evening, here I am on Sunday afternoon marveling at how full my days have been. We’ve had a great week here, starting with Zilla’s birthday celebrations last weekend. If you saw my very brief post last weekend, you know how very…
TToT – Thankful for a Life
Our daughter turned eight this week. I can’t even imagine how that is possible. As trite as it sounds, it seems only moments ago we sat in a hospital room holding our newborn, grateful for her safe arrival. And now? It’s still amazing to me every day that this wonderful little person is here, whole…
#10Thankful – Are We There Yet?
I am so ready for this school year to be over. I kind of thought when I left the classroom that I wouldn’t feel so stressed about this time of year. I figured without final exams, end-of-the-year textbook collections, and the rest of the things teachers have to do in June, I’d have no worries. I was wrong. Know…
TToT – Long Weekends
Here we are at the weekend again and, as is usual of late, it’s nearly over before I get my TToT in. It’s a fine thing, I suppose, because the only reason for my tardiness is that we’re out living, doing, and enjoying this very long weekend – five days for us. That’s not even…
#10Thankful – Fragmented
Fragmented. That’s the best word I can come up with to describe my week. It’s been one long stretch of a whole lot of jumbled pieces and small bits of time, none of which have added up to much of anything. But of course, if I sit long enough and think about it, I know…
#10Thankful – Things of Significance
I sense that great things are about to happen. No, really. I wish I could explain why, but I can’t. I just know that things are somehow falling into place as they should. I’m late again this week – very late – but that’s OK because once again we have been out living. I can’t…
#10Thankful – A Lovely Weekend
When I heard we didn’t have a linky thing, I was totally going to bail on my TToT. I’m really tired tonight. We’ve been busy around here this weekend – all week, in fact. Skipping is temping…popcorn and a movie sounds divine. But I have a heart that is very full of thanks right now, so I’d better…
