Attitude Adjustment…

We live in a rural area. Our home is set back from the road and so our driveway is a good length. My walks usually mean that I am walking laps in our driveway. It’s not a vigorous walk, but it does get me moving and that always helps. Today as I walked down the

Ecclesiates 3

Everything Has Its Time  To everything there is a season,A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born,And a time to die;A time to plant,And a time to pluck what is planted;3 A time to kill,And a time to heal;A time to break down,And a time to build up;4 A time to weep,And a

Stages of Quarantine…

We have all seen the memes out there, Day 1 of quarantine, and so on and so forth.   I laugh at them, mainly because they seem to distill into a small picture exactly what I am feeling.   Like most people, when I am told not to do something, it is that exact thing that I

Voices everywhere…

Voices are everywhere, but not a decent conversation.  Especially in my head. No, I’m not that crazy over the quarantine, I actually am like this all the time. I wake up, make a mental list of my day, telling myself what I would like to get accomplished and then telling myself what I most likely
