Today

Today is the duathlon. I will run. I will walk if I have to. I will hydrate and fuel my body and attempt not to be sick on the starting line (or the finish line). I will speak the words, “I am doing this for me. I am doing this for me. I am doing […]

thirsty

“You God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.” Psalm 63:1, NIV When was the last time I earnestly sought him?  Thirsted for him? When my whole being longs, does it long for Him? Oh, […]

back to routine

don’t you love that feeling? that “i’ve-gone-through-a-crazy-end-of-the-year-after-Christmastime-and-i-finally-feel-like-things-are-coming-back-together-again” feeling? it was touch and go there for a little while, i have to tell you. we’re on our way. school started back up today, we’re plowing through our assignments with some good extension-type activities (amazing what happens when mom actually plans rather than just winging it when the […]

I’m still surprised.

I don’t know why, really, but I’m always surprised when something pops up that I actually sort of expected to happen along the way. The latest surprise smacked me in the face this morning when I decompressed with my kids from their weekend away. We talked things through in such a civilized manner when I […]

Not Mine

I went to a concert tonight.  Sort of. I say sort of because…well…concerts have changed a bit since I went to them as a teen.  Or a young adult, for that matter.  And, friends?  For the record? I am no longer a young adult.  I know this now.  If I had any doubt of that […]

Just Ridiculous

The most ridiculous things happen to me. I know, I know, they happen to you too.  They happen to all of us.  But seriously…when I tell people the things that happen to me, they stare blankly.  Because they’re ridiculous.  Utterly ridiculous. I had a car accident about a week and a half ago, on 12/2. […]

Blogging

I’m blogging.  I make no promises regarding this post…none at all.  Blogging has taken a back seat to the rest of my life over the past three months.  For those of you who have been chomping at the bit (HA) waiting for a post, I apologize.  Truly.  Today is about biting the bullet and getting […]

Things to be glad about…

Do you remember Pollyanna?  I watched that movie so many times as a young teen…probably because for the two years we lived in Allentown, we actually had Disney channel, and it played constantly…and we didn’t exactly get out to the movies very often while Dad was in college.  I remember thinking how I could see […]

Grateful

I have spent the past two weeks or so extraordinarily stressed out.  To the point where I have definitely not been a peach to live with.  That fact has stressed me out even more than the actual sources of stress, and has caused me to be even less of a peach to live with. This […]
