Really?!
Is there anything worse than standing in line at the grocery? Especially when you’re on your lunch break; every lane is taken by people with carts overflowing with food. Even the 15 items or less lanes. Heaven forbid that stores enforce the 15 items or less policy. Because we want the almighty dollar, we aren’tContinue reading “Really?!”
PSY 101
When I was in college, my Psy 101 professor and I got into the debate over looking down. ‘Only people with low self esteem looks at the ground. Look up. Look forward. Meet the world head on with confidence.’ His story. My story; there are interesting things on the ground. At most, I have foundContinue reading “PSY 101”
Working up a memory
I attend a writing class in my local community. Our assignment (if we chose to accept it) was to write about a memory. Fictional or non-fiction – it’s for the reader to mull over. What should I write about? Personally, I think it’s a cheat if you make up a story and say it’s aContinue reading “Working up a memory”
The Gift of Hope
Our pray group does “Monday School” lessons instead of Sunday School. When I was asked to write these, I had to do a tall lot of praying. 1. Because I’m still young in the faith. My knowledge base isn’t very deep. 2. I don’t want to say the wrong things to actually kill someone curiosityContinue reading “The Gift of Hope”
Morning Moments
This morning, I popped into Kroger. As I get close to the door; I notice employees are just standing there watching …. something. It’s one of those moments; you have those thoughts, do I have dog poop on my pants? Leaves and twigs in my hair? What? They draw my attention to a man inContinue reading “Morning Moments”
True
“To thine own self to true.” How, when you’re not sure who you are?” “To thine own self to true.” How, when the world fights against you? “To thine own self to true.” And the world will crucify you. Taken from ‘The Reconstruction of Me’. A collection of poems I started in the early 2,000’s.Continue reading “True”
Gratitude in all things
Our pray group does “Monday School” lessons instead of Sunday School. When I was asked to write these, I had to do a tall lot of praying. 1. Because I’m still young in the faith. My knowledge base isn’t very deep. 2. I don’t want to say the wrong things to actually kill someone curiosityContinue reading “Gratitude in all things”
You’re Fired
August 25th, 2015; where were you? This isn’t as thought provoking as asking ‘where we’re you when the Challenger exploded? Or where we you when JFK was shot? Where were you when the World Trade Center was hit?’ 8-25-2015 was a life changing day for me. I got fired. First time ever. It hurt myContinue reading “You’re Fired”
Flying Objects 100 words
Do you have a “side hustle”? I’m painting a 60’ X 12’ deck. My surroundings are tranquil. Once this scene was interrupted when a mixed herd ran down the hill toward a pond. I’m on a ladder; paint brush and can in either hand. Imagine my horror as thoughts of these critters racing through myContinue reading “Flying Objects 100 words”
