I've been ruminating on Holley's invitation to join the pursuit of a "God-sized Dream". My God-sized Dream. I'm to wrap that dream with words today. Seriously. Not as easy as I thought it would be. What I dream about has changed so much. Like when I was six... and wanted to be a cowboy. Since I …

Faith or Fear
Every morning they rise and make me choose... faith or fear. Which one will it be? Faith stands tall with a light... calling. Quietly. Fear rolls at my feet like an under current, longing to pull me down. They both ask me to believe in something I cannot see. Today I choose faith. Again, and again, and again. When …
Renewal
Mostly I'm a point A to point B person.... as in, we have a long way to go so let's go. Now. I'm not your best choice as a shopping partner. I can fake that I like shopping for a while... a short while. Typically I have a list and that's the reason I'm at the store. …
Maxwell the Turkey
I just couldn’t post this before Thanksgiving. I’m sure you’ll understand why. And besides, Maxwell is a Christmas story. And there’s still time to forget this by then. Long ago and far away in Alaska, my husband decided we would raise our own turkey for the holidays. It would be a good lesson, he said, …
My First 21 Days… Cause You’ve Got To Start Somewhere
One of those sideways days… today. It was also my first day of 21 days. No, I’m not going to post something for 21 days like I did for 31 days in October… I’m going to change something in 21 days. And I might post about it occasionally. “They” say if you do something for …

Standing On An Even Place
I don't belong to either major political party. I have voted for candidates in almost every party. I even voted for Ross Perot... twice! But I must say... last election day really shook up my conservative self. I managed to not eat the chocolate chips in the freezer... then went to bed early. I feel pretty good now. The first presidential election …
New Morning
What do I do when, ...false words are spoken? ...help offered is ignored? ...kindness it criticized? Well... I eat a second cupcake, stuff down a handful of potato chips, polish off the rest of the "fun size" Halloween candy bars... then I sit in a stupor in my recliner feeling like an idiot, until.... I pull myself together. …
Day Eleven ~ Missing In Action
31 Days of Aging Grace is still fresh in my mind. I've never written and posted to my blog for 31 days straight. Well, almost 31 days... If you look at the list of links during the month of October, day eleven is link-less. I tried to cover up a bit and glossed over it on …
31 Days of Aging Grace ~ Follow the Yellow Brick Road
... or maybe a leaf-strewn yellow line. And may I say... I'm glad this is the last day of 31 posts! Thank you to all who read along and "liked" and shared and commented. I appreciate you. Only a little to share today.... ...getting older isn't so scary - those ahead of me have set lights along …

31 Days of Aging Grace ~ Freedom Flight
