A Message
I had an overwhelming experience today. I’ve been beyond frustrated lately. Frustrated and angry and upset, really, because I just want this long period of … argh … to come to an end. Or if not an end, then just a pathway toward an end. That’s all. My funk is so thick right now that…
TToT – A Whole Lotta Good
The sky was a glorious blue this morning and the breeze was just enough. It was the kind of day that always reminds me of an early summer at the beach – perfect. I felt pretty light as I drove alone with the moon roof open. It’s been a very good week. For starters, Zilla…
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 – 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…
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…
Learning to Pray
I am still in the home stretch of final grades for this marking period, so this is short and sweet. Truth be told, I should probably be skipping the blog post tonight and just getting my work finished. (Can you hear the Fab Hub gently pointing out that I’ll be exhausted if I stay up…
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…
Hidden Talents
Sometimes, people give gifts to other people that may not necessarily be the best choice for the recipient. The thought may be completely generous and well-intentioned, but sometimes the gift and the recipient are just not a match. On Easter Sunday, my aunt brought Kidzilla a cute little fabric Easter basket that contained two tiny…
Just Tired
I am so tired of headlines that tell me that yet another flock of little children have been frightened, hurt, killed. Little ones my Zilla’s age… Enough, already. I used to think my Grandmother and my Mother were both more than a little cracked when things like this would worry them, keep them awake nights.…
