Choosing to See the Bright Side
Get Out There
One of my closest friends called me last week. It’s always kind of curious to me that when I have someone on my mind, I usually hear from them. I had been thinking about her and had planned to call her to plan to get together for coffee. We do that from time to time … Continue reading
You’re Not Done Yet
My son and I spent a few days at my parents’ house for spring break. My mom has always loved to take pictures and she had taken a bunch in her yard that she thought I could use in my blog posts. She did a great job and she had lots of good ones, but … Continue reading
Things Are Not Always What They Seem
The forecast yesterday was seventy-seven degrees and sunny. Finally, I thought that spring had sprung and I could move comfortably to shorts. We had a cold snap last weekend. It was in the thirties for a couple of nights. My granddaddy always said there would be one last cold snap before Easter and then it … Continue reading
The Divine Juggler
My life has been pretty chaotic lately. I seem to have way too many balls in the air. Our van died, so we have been actively searching for a car. We have a program at church that I am a part of, that requires a bunch of writing as well as the cooperation of … Continue reading
A Grain of Sand
I jumped out of bed one morning last week and put on some sweatpants and tennis shoes. Mornings are always busy at my house. I had lunches to make as well as breakfasts and I had to coax a couple of teenagers out of bed. Right away, I felt something on the ball of my … Continue reading
The Elusive State of Balance
My daughter had two tennis matches last Saturday. Since we had so many cancelled this season due to rain or ice, the only way to fit two in was to schedule them both on the same day. One was at 10:00 and one was at 11:00. It was a delightful day, not a cloud in … Continue reading
Leaves and Gnome Doors
Last weekend my hubby and I decided it was time to do some spring raking. We always put that particular chore off because we have dozens of hardwoods that produce thousands of leaves, maybe even millions. Some people rake their leaves as they fall, not us, we wait until the spring. I read somewhere that … Continue reading
When the World is Foggy
Yesterday morning, our area was under a fog warning. Every radio station was talking about it. The Weather Channel App, had a warning about it. My thirteen-year-old son finally asked, during our commute to school, “What’s the big deal about the fog?” His artist mind thought it was cool to look at and I agreed … Continue reading
Smiling in the Rain
It seems like it’s been raining here in Georgia forever. It’s been a very wet winter. My mama says she thinks we’re going to mold. Yesterday began wet and dreary. I had two teens that decided they would pick that particular morning to argue with each other and me and to complain incessantly about life … Continue reading
Rushing the Seasons
When I took a walk yesterday, I saw a clump of daffodils completely in bloom. I would normally be cheered to see them. They are always an early announcement that spring is close by. Unfortunately, it’s only February 12th. It’s supposed to be in the twenties this weekend and then only a high in the … Continue reading
