One: Weekly Photo Challenge


We haven't even celebrated the Christmas holiday and I am already thinking about a New Year's resolution.  The prompt for the Weekly Photo Challenge has got me thinking about the ONE...piece of exercise equipment that will not be ignored!  Although it has been sitting in the corner of the living room for several weeks, just … Continue reading One: Weekly Photo Challenge

I Have Confidence In Me!


Are you good at what you do?  How do you know?  Where does your confidence come from?  Does it build  over time or does it come from that one amazing time that everything went right for you?  The prompt at the Daily Post today is:  I Have Confidence In Me. The first thing in my … Continue reading I Have Confidence In Me!

The First One Hundred Days!


What to write about?  Firsts?  One hundreds?  Perseverance, firmness, resolve, determination, fortitude; any or all of which it takes to get through 100 days of something.  And where do we find our strength to live up to a commitment like writing every day for entire year, 365 days in a row; regardless of what else … Continue reading The First One Hundred Days!

Post 99


I've been thinking more about the content for tomorrow's post, day #100, than I have about today's, so I' m finding it difficult to identify a topic for today.  The inspiration for blogging for 365 days in a row actually came from watching the movie Julie and Julia.  If you haven't seen it, take a look, it's … Continue reading Post 99

Better Said Than I Could Have


Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, frankly the entire interweb is teeming with all things Veterans' Day; as it should be!  One of my Facebook friends, who I wrote about the other day, posted her take on the day.  I'm not saying it's any more sincere than all the other thank you's that I've read today, but what … Continue reading Better Said Than I Could Have

Giving Without Expectation


Last week, on his birthday, I shared a thank you to my brother-in-law, Paul.  I have more than a few brothers-in-law and each is special; not only because they love my sisters!  My brother-in-law, Jon, also celebrated his birthday this month.  He and my sister have been together since college!  It rained like crazy on their … Continue reading Giving Without Expectation

You Can’t Always See It


Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. I wrote a post back in September about a high school friend that had passed away. I had a feeling when I went to the wake that his death was perhaps the result of something quite personal, something perhaps that he struggled … Continue reading You Can’t Always See It
