I know I’ve posted about this often lately and I apologize, I think. I also know I’ve shared me without makeup often lately and I apologize period. In a lot of areas of my life, I am living a dream every day when my feet hit the floor, I know that, but these words were
Inspiration
Wrap in Forgiveness.
Isn’t it the best feeling to have a strong relationship with someone that is just your person? It can be anyone, not just a mate, and it is something we count on most, knowing no matter what we do or say or feel, even if they disagree with us, they are there like a security
Carry your own plate.
Do you ever have moments where you snap at someone and they’ll say where did that come from? Maybe you’re tired from work, or someone hurt your feelings, and you take it out often on the people you love. Why do we do that? Is it because we know they won’t run? It can be
Half-Baked.
I fidget. I rock back and forth in my chair sometimes and I shake my leg when my legs are crossed. My Daddy is the same way. Mama used to have to put her hand on his knee to stop him and we’d have to punch him in church because he’d jingle the coins in
I don’t want much.
The things I want in this life are not complicated or difficult. They’re really quite simple and I long for them. I want them for you too, even if I don’t know you, because I really do just want them for everybody. I want to love deeply and feel loved deeply. I want someone to
How was your day?
This quote didn’t have the cursive part when I found it, I added that. I came across the first part and began thinking and wondering how many times I’ve asked someone how they’re doing, how their day is going…. and then painfully I wondered how many times I didn’t hear the answer because my
When you have to pee.
Lesson learned: don’t run barefoot across hot sand when you have to pee. Last week at the beach, B was at the house watching golf, and I was sitting out under the umbrella people watching when I had to pee so badly. At my age, waiting and holding it are not options. And yes, I
The Walk Series
I read this series a few years ago, and came across them when looking through my bookshelf today. I just had to share them with you. When B’s wife passed away in 2017, he was lost, as you can imagine and perhaps understand. Forty years with one person and suddenly thrust into a life alone.
You make me LOL.
Dear Friend Who Makes Me Laugh, I love you. I need you. I scroll the FB feed like a pouty toddler hoping to smile at someone’s kids, see a recipe that sounds good, which I’ll save and then can’t remember where I put it, or a cute puppy, or maybe to see whose birthday it
No with a capital N.
No. Did you know that word is a complete sentence? With a period or an exclamation mark, it’s complete. It doesn’t require a but or an apology to follow. It doesn’t require a justification or or an explanation or a ‘I’d love to but I can’t’ before it. And it’s really too tiny of a word
Dear you, notice me.
Dear You Reading This, Notice me today please, I implore you. I’m lonely some days. Some days I watch you walk by or see you close and think this is the day, I get my hopes up, but you keep going, rushing by and not even noticing me. Today, maybe today. I’m not going anywhere.
Plow around the stump.
“Life is so much easier when you just plow around the stump.” I read this yesterday on a list of advice from a farmer and loved it! Having grown up on a farm, I thought about my Dad and could almost hear him saying this. We can be plowing along, making pretty straight rows in
