Day 37
Life happens when you are making plans. You think you are going one way and fate moves the street sign. God has a way of putting your feet on a road that you were not even looking for and then changing your direction when you are comfortable. How do you deal with change?

Day 34
Prioritizing is a skill that has served me well. I wasn’t taught how to line up ducks. Life experience and chasing them taught me how to prioritize. Often I still catch the little yellow fluffs scampering out of order. Looking at the big picture of life, grabbing the must do tasks by the neck and…

Long day. Many things to be thankful for. Trying to get ready for sleep and my kids are procrastinating. I know I’ll miss them when they are grown and leave home. I miss their big sister and her children something awful. How do you balance the want for the future and desire for time to…

Day 15
Halfway through January and people are still whining about last year. In the words of the famous snow princess, let it go. There is nothing a human can do about last year. Unless you have a time machine, leave last year alone. Stop picking it back up. Don’t look backwards, you are not going that…
