BLANK

That’s how I feel right now due to cooking since 2 pm. Please don’t get me wrong. I am so thankful for the generosity of others sharing their “fruits of labor”. Cooking is more work than some think therefore that’s why I say I feel blank. I guess you can say blank is another word for numb or tired. At least in my vocabulary. I didn’t write any this morning.  Mainly I didn’t have anything to say.…

A POTATO

Romans 8:28New King James Version28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose Like the title says, a 🥔 potato. I warmed some day-old coffee in the microwave this morning along with a potato. A potato was just laying on the glass plate of my microwave. The potato was a part of last night’s supper of fishsticks…

Genie in a Bottle...🧞‍♂️🧞‍♀️🧞

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? Ha! This song came to mind. That and the years I was listening to this song on repeat. Oh, I know all the words. Let’s see if I still remember them… OK so maybe I don’t know all the words anymore. That song, with its words of seduction, doesn’t appeal to me at 50 years old. My tolerance for anything less than I deserve is slim to none…

The worst horror movie produced is life...

I can not get this story out of my head or my heart. This story is absolutely horrible. So tragic 😥 Searching around YouTube, I found this story and was captivated by it from the beginning. Starting from confusion to fear to claustrophobia, I was embodied with despair for this guy as well as his  family. I just don’t understand why things like this happen. However, because I have experienced…

They do not complete me...

Describe a family member. Never again! What? I said never again. What do you mean by saying never again? How can I word this? WHAT CAN I SAY TO TELL YOU WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT WITHOUT GIVING AWAY THAT I’M TALKING ABOUT YOU? MAYBE I SHOULD RELEASE MYSELF FROM THESE CHAINS THAT YOU BIND ME WITH? I know for a fact that I didn’t need you. I thought you were the answer to my prayers. I THOUGHT…

Conversations with myself...

What is your favorite form of physical exercise? FIRST OF ALL I SHOULD MAKE “CONVERSATIONS WITH MYSELF” A TAG. MY FIRST CONVO WITH MYSELF ON PAPER WAS KIND OF FUN!! Here is my list of my favorite forms of exercise Walking Yoga (stretching) Strength training Pilates I love the feeling of being active Do I stay active these days? No. Do I want to stay active these days? Yes, but life is…

First, Let's appreciate where we are,

How much would you pay to go to the moon? Like the title of today’s blog, “First, let’s appreciate where we are”… ALWAYS…we as a whole are looking for ways to search for the next best thing. I believe the heavens were made for God. Psalm 115:16The heavens are the LORD’s, but the earth has been given to the children of men Maybe I should reread that passage? For clarity’s sake…what does this…

Well, how about that...

What food would you say is your specialty? What would I write about every day if I didn’t answer a daily prompt? It’s probably the same kind of thing I do now by answering the daily prompt and then going on some tangent about this or that thing. So, to start, I’ll say that any food seems to be my specialty these days. Any kind of food David wants to eat is the kind of food I fix. Cooking is the…

Twin Towers...

What major historical events do you remember? I remember the time vividly because at the time my mom walked into my house, the first plane crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City. We were scheduled to take my cat ( at the time ), Princess, to the vet. The events of the terrorist attack on America were felt deeply by Americans. I can imagine the horror of that date is so intense still to…

I'm all in...

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? The biggest risk I took in life is to trust in God. Maybe I feel at times that I can’t trust in something I can’t see. I mean, is this faith I have for real? I can see where the evil of this world seems to florish. BUT GOD, I TRUST YOU. I can see people who have their health stripped away from them with no answer or hope of…

A large Pepsi, please!

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? Only if someone is judging me that I feel unproductive otherwise I’m cool with laziness. We all need unproductive days. Days we don’t stress about anything. What I’m saying is, … adult life feels like you are trying to mop a football field with a toothbrush. …adult life is like trying to vacuum the sand on a deserted island. Do you understand…

What’s something most people don’t know about you? Here I am again…as I WAIT FOR MY HUSBAND TO get out of the bathroom to let ME use it, I have a few minutes to blog. What most people don’t know ABOUT ME IS that I spend more TIME GETTING THINGS PERFECT ON MY BLOG THAN I spend time writing as my coping skill on my blog. Maybe I do write enough. However, I could cope better at times. I WAS…

TO SOME SUCCESS IS A PIECE OF CAKE...

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?*My grandma Elsie would make me a homemade red velvet cake every year for my birthday ( I miss her so much Being successful is viewed in different ways. From a Christian perspective, I would say any day with Christ in your life is successful.  He can guide us when we follow Him. However, I  can envy…

What will you do?...

What is your favorite hobby or pastime? Walking. Before my hip pain, I enjoyed walking. For around 45 minutes a day (usually) in the morning, my brain would get oxygen rich blood. 😜🧠 Being a caregiver is a challenge to doing anything else. So my walking hobbies took a back seat to take care of my stroke survivor husband. I put a halt to my own needs. However, I see now that I need to meet…

I was thinking...

What would you do if you lost all your possessions? Keep going as if you don’t have a choice. Because really… You don’t have a choice. I feel fortunate to have dreamed about “baby girl” at night while my body is calm in dreamland. To see her sweet and sassy self does my weak heart some good. These kinds of dreams are magnificent compared to the frustration and anger of my other dreams. Usually,…

Say what you want to say but...

Your life without a computer: what does it look like? My life without a computer would be a life where I may get more done. Probably not?! So however my life seems to be, I am technologically synced with a computer. I’d be lonely without the internet. For some reason or another, a day without a computer (my phone, tablet…the World Wide Web) is nonexistent.  That kind of day would never happen.…
