Recalculating

Brenda — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 18:17:43 +0000

Recently I've felt some desperation about my destination.
“Are we there yet?”
“He pinched me.”
“How many more miles before we get there?”
“I’m hungry.”

Mother, May I Skip the Month of May?

Brenda — Fri, 15 May 2015 21:30:50 +0000

Today is my grandma's birthday. It's too bad she isn't here to celebrate. She always loved cake and ice cream...

Maybe that's why I do, too.

Stepping Out and Moving Forward

Brenda — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:23:55 +0000

Sometimes I feel as if I'm a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.

Make that "much of the time".

Then throw in a few personal stumbles, and I can't even find the round hole.

Or perhaps, I'm already in the hole and just can't find my way out of it.

It’s All About Me

Brenda — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 02:05:41 +0000

I'm doing a 21-Day Intentional Blogging Challenge with Jeff Goins this month. Today was the first day... and the assignment was hard.

I had to rewrite my About page. The original was from two years ago... when I thought I knew it all.

Why Weight?

Brenda — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 00:58:30 +0000

Quite honestly... lately I've been loving me some carbohydrates. Like cereal. Even sugary stuff.

I can safely say THAT isn't working...

Go Into All the World

And then he told them, “You are to go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere."

Having My Cake

Brenda — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 19:57:29 +0000

What a crazy week this has been... and it isn’t over yet!

I’ve been working on a project for a nonprofit this week. As a result, my butt has been glued to the chair for DAYS. At least that’s how it feels.

If it weren’t for a couple of short walk/jogs I squeezed in, my poor Fitbit activity band step counter would be falling to all-time lows... or possibly calling 9-1-1.

Not only has my daily activity level been low this week, my consumption of carbohydrates has been high.

Silver Threads Among the Gold

Brenda — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 22:54:49 +0000

Whenever one of those survey-type questionnaires asks if I see the world as “black and white” or “shades of gray”, I always answer “shades of gray”.

I definitely see shades of gray in every situation....

Well, almost.

I'm apparently color blind when it comes to my hair.

It’s Time to Do the Work

Brenda — Wed, 01 Oct 2014 14:09:36 +0000

Ever since I turned... oh, perhaps 55... I've felt a weird sense of urgency.

"Urgency" as in "time is running out".

I feel as if I have these things I want to do during my life, but I'm stalled... and I'm running out of time.

Do you ever feel like that?

Setting Big Goals for October

Brenda — Wed, 01 Oct 2014 00:12:27 +0000

"Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Today is the last day of September. There are 92 days left of this year (2014).

I set some goals at the beginning of the year. Small goals... and I didn't carry out any of them.

With time a-wasting, I've been thinking about goals this week. What keeps me from reaching them?
