Safe in the Eye of the Storm
Yesterday, I posted about BEING the eye of the storm and today I’m taking it a notch up. Oftentimes, no matter the peace and calm we represent or the peace and calm we are in, still unexpected stuff happens which really reveals whether we’re just talking the talk, or actually walking the walk! Eleanor Roosevelt…
Change of Plans: Hail — No!!
When I posted on Monday (the day after the major hailstorm here in Frisco), about the opportunities that can come from a storm, I didn’t realize that it would apply to not only my grandkids and those friends who get extra work when storms come, but it would be applicable to me, too! Here’s what…
God Never Changes
On Friday, we witnessed a president’s departure and exit from office. On the outside, President Obama and Michelle were composed, gracious, stately (I was always impressed with President Obama’s eloquence of speech and composure), but I suspect, once behind closed doors, they were high 5-ing each other and celebrating that they are free of those…
Best Laid Plans Sometimes Go Awry
It hasn’t been easy to stay sequestered at the guest house on my kids’ property on my “God” quest this month. After all, I have two young grandsons, who I adore and they adore me, and when Nana’s around, it’s usually play-time! They inhabit these grounds, so I’ve had to be very resolute in staying…
He’s Still Looking Out For Me
Yesterday, I was filled with so much thanksgiving, yet a little weepy, missing my Sweetheart on our 50th Wedding Anniversary. That’s how I roll. I purpose to live with joy, peace and thanksgiving, but there are still those tender times of sweet memories that bring a few tears to my eyes (yesterday, a few more…
Trust Me — I Have a Purpose Here!
With all the “He said. She said” craziness in the news, it makes you wonder “Who CAN we trust these days?” How many times do we get sold a bill of goods and the goods are faulty, broken, or dysfunctional, yet we keep going back to the same merchant or using the same service provider?…
Customer Service ROCKS!
Day 208 of Photo Inspirations — Customer Service ROCKS!!! Day before yesterday I arrived safely back home in Tulsa on my Southwest Airlines flight — all was well, except one of my bags didn’t arrive. I routinely completed the missing bag report and was assured that my bag would probably be in on the next…
Calm Down & Get Your Zentangle On
Day 125 of Photo Inspirations — Calm Down & Get Your Zentangle On DW — my first Zentangle masterpiece. LOL! One of the perks of travelling several days at sea, was the free time we had to relax, play games, read, talk, go to culinary and health classes, eat and eat and eat, and…
What’s YOUR Perspective?
Day 68 of Photo Inspirations — What’s YOUR Perspective? While my Texas grandchildren were here, they practiced the speeches that they’ll be giving at their Speech & Debate Competition. Alexia’s speech includes this story on “perspective”. There was family that had two twin boys; one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom and gloom…
