uninspired...

i noticed while reading a friends blog that it had been awhile since i have updated my own! i'd like to say it is because i'm busy, but i think it has more to do with being uninspired. or feeling like i don't really have anything funny or wise to share. but here are some snippets of things i've been pondering lately.....

...my grandparents celebrated 70 years of marriage on monday! what will hubby and i look like after 70 years??? he'll be 100! wowzers...but if we make it that long in life i believe we will be happily in love still!

...how does one's head fill up overnight with incredible amounts of gunk?? where does that all come from?

...i learned that my esophagus muscles might be working against each other. that is why i've had this hard to describe bubble type thingy off and on for over a month. hmm...a friend asked me if the good doc gave me exercises. nope - just a good drug!

...i have gotten super spoiled by hubby's buddy's 42 inch flat screen tv. i don't want him to take it back!!

...i'm a sucker for my sons sad eyes on superbowl night. but i was greatly impressed when he held to his end of the bargain.

...i, the one who loves snow and winter, is so ready for spring right now!! i can't stand this intense cold and so little snow.

...i look just like my niece - something that i really don't quite see, but hey, since she is 18 (for a few more weeks) i'll take it as an incredible compliment! maybe i'll get permission to put a photo up and you all can decide.

so...that is just a few of the things i've been thinking about. see....so little to inspire that great blog post!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
