Do It Anyway

When our kids were growing up, there were times they’d come home complaining about a teacher or another student. They just didn’t “mesh” with the other person. I remember we’d tell them that there would be many times in life when they would encounter people they didn’t necessarily care for, but they’d have to interact…

It’s Your Right

If you’re like me, you’ve had your fill of election primary season texts, robo calls, postcards, and commercials. It’s stunning to me that the amount of money is being spent not to talk about the issues, but rather to simply trash whatever opponent(s) you have. There are so many accusations flying around; you simply don’t…

What’s Your Perspective

Throughout last week, I found myself at different points in, well, not a good place. My mind was filled with things to do, not just at work but at home. As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m a list maker, and as you can imagine, I have them everywhere. Multiple, actually. By the end of the…

When He Tries

This morning, as I was thinking about this past week, I thought about all the ways that the fallen one tried to disrupt plans. Boy, he was active; that is for sure. He found little cracks and went to work to make them craters. He tried to plant seeds of doubt. He tried to sew…

When It Sneaks Up

On the way home last night, I found one of my favorite stations on Pandora and cranked up the tunes. My husband and I had driven separately to work because I needed to get in earlier. Normally, the radio is off in our vehicles, especially when we are riding together because we’re usually chatting. It…

It Is What It Is – Or Is It

Yesterday morning as I was heading out the door to work, my facilities manager sent me a text message. It was a video and he simply said “be prepared for a computer glitch”. The video was of my pc at work making some sort of crazy beeping noise and an error message on the screen.…

The Family Within

This morning, I find myself sitting here at this little blog, just giving thanks. Well, that’s a pretty wide-open statement, isn’t it? There are many, many things in this world to give thanks for, I know. What’s so different about this today? Last night we had our final Summer Soiree. I’ve mentioned them before. During…

Humbleness and Humility

This morning, right on schedule, I received my daily scripture reading and reflection from my Priest friend. I’ve mentioned him before here in this little blog. Like this little blog, there are days when his text just hits home. I find myself saying, “I needed this today”, after reading it. Today was one of those…

In The Rain

We’ve finally gotten into a “traditional” Florida rain pattern. When I was younger, I would visit my dad here, and you could set your watch by the summer rains in the afternoon. They would roll in around 3:00 p.m., stick around for about an hour, and be done. It was pretty much an everyday occurrence.…

The Opposite

Yesterday morning in this little blog, I wrote about the oddness of the week. Well, I’m happy to say the oddness continued throughout the day 🙂 . It truly got to the point where my co-workers and I had to just laugh about the things that were happening. At one point, we jokingly started listing…
