Fall has officially arrived. The sun is taking longer to show up in the morning….which only makes me slower in getting started as well. And, while the days are so gorgeous, the evening temps certainly are feeling like fall. Even my mindset seems to have turned to fall. I’m a bit of a homebody anyway… Read More Share Four Somethings: September 2020
Well, hello Fall! You’ve been teasing us for days not but now it’s official. The first day of fall 🙂 And, apparently, time to think about your fall bucket list. Assuming, of course, you have a fall bucket list. I typically do not. I think it is this empty-nest season and the bucket list items… Read More A Bucket List: Fall 2020
David. There is so much to love about David. From the boy David who fights the giant….to the anointed David constantly pursued by Saul…and then King David whom God would describe as “a man after mine own heart.” I have been reading I and II Samuel during my morning devotions over the last weeks and… Read More Some Thoughts on Avoiding Temptation
Last night we had a near disaster. It involved too many leashes and, dare I say, too many dogs. Well, two dogs. One totally amped for a walk and the other totally uncooperative. While trying to get the stubborn one inside and switching leashes, etc., the super excited one ended up completely unleased and made… Read More All That God Could Do
Something a little different for today. Just for fun – and to acknowledge this first day of school for this (no doubt) unusual and interesting school year! The public schools in Virginia (at least, this northern part of the state) have just about always started on Tuesday after Labor Day. They certainly did when I… Read More Ten of the Tenth: The School Edition
It has been several years since I quit working. It was a total change of schedule for me and, admittedly, I found myself with plenty of “free” time on my hands. Sometimes, too much free time. During those first weeks (maybe months) of being at home, I was not only trying to create a “new… Read More Time for a New Rhythm
Hello September! Hello fall (do you call it fall or autumn??) And, of course, hello pumpkin spice season. I have to make a confession. I want to love pumpkin spice. I fall for all the gorgeous packaging and advertising – whether it is for hand soap, cozy drinks, donuts, cookies, pancakes or even body wash… Read More Currently: September 2020
It has been one of those weeks. A week of challenges and a week of great things. At the same time. Mainly a week that has taken all my emotional strength – and drained it. Apparently, my mental energy drains right alongside my emotions. I was content to skip posting today (which typically stresses me… Read More Not The Time To Be Silent
Change is in the air. Not quite time for autumn breezes…but soon. But certainly changes. In one of my Instagram posts last week, I hashtagged that change was coming. There is simply a lot going on in my world lately. All exciting and full of possibilities – but, nonetheless, change. And I am always surprised… Read More Three Benefits to Embracing Change
Time for another Share Four Somethings. I missed this link-up last month – and I was bummed. I always enjoy this once a month look at what is happening – as well as reading the other bloggers that join each month. I was looking back at June’s SFSs and it was Father’s Day. Which seems… Read More Share Four Somethings: August 2020
