Category: Five Minute Friday

When it comes to a plan, I typically think of four “people” involved.  Those people might better be seen as necessary parts to the plan and the plan could refer to all types of things – but anything that starts as with an idea until it is executed or finished. …

Live Large.  That’s it – the sign above my desk.  I see it every morning and multiple times throughout the day.  A daily reminder to live large.  To seize the day.  To embrace a new day and make the most of it.  To dream big and then work to make…

I love poetry.  I used to write poems much more often than I do now.  Actually, these days, I rarely write my thoughts in poetry.  Perhaps I should (just thinking out loud) because I love it.  And, yes, poetry put to music can be beautiful and moving, however, the words…

If you read Tuesday’s post, you know that we (my hubbie and I) have been patiently waiting for porch season to return.  To not only open the windows but also to enjoy time in the evenings out on the porch.  And we were not disappointed this week!  It has been…

Happy Friday and time for another FMF!  The first full week of March did not disappoint.  Definitely still brisk (actually quite chilly, especially in the mornings), and the March wind does love to blow, but signs of spring are obvious.  And most welcome…and delightful!!  We even had the first fertilizer…

It began in late November.  We watched a Hallmark Christmas movie.  And then another.  And then, well you guessed it, it became quite the habit.  Or, at least, a regular part of our December evening routine.  I dare to count how many of those movies we watched (in many ways,…

Fridays – as often as I am able – are for Five Minute Friday.  Or FMF:)  It is a weekly link-up hosted by Kate Motaung and not only has a wonderful community but is also a wonderful writing exercise.  A prompt is given each Friday morning and, as Kate describes…

Friday – and time for another Five Minute Friday which is just about all I have time for this morning.  Five minutes.  And today’s prompt is: HELP.  When I read it, I immediately began humming. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help.  My…

Never-ending road construction.  Non-stop traffic.  Noise, crowds, congestion, litter (oh, the annoying litter)…and the seeming obsession to cut down trees.  Truthfully, this is what comes to mind if I were asked to describe a drive through my county.  I have said – way more often than has ever been necessary…

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…

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…
