Does Boldness Pay Off?
“Hey, you want a raise?” I looked up from my administrative/reception desk to see my supervisor standing there leaning in with an eager look on his face, anticipating my affirming answer to his question. “Uhhh, sure?” I answered questioningly. “Good! Your annual review is tonight. Will that work for you? We can move it to…

Ahhh…. Grrr
Exiting the chilled temperature of the PT Department, the warmth hit my face like the heat escaping an oven through the opened oven door. The wind is blowing through the shrubs and trees. Leaves, rustling in the warm breeze, is the only sound I could hear as I sat down at the round metal grate…

Quote of the Day
“It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.” -Thomas Sowell This was a quote shared by one of my coworkers at work this past week. It seems like it could be a good response to some of the blogs I have read about the non-existence of God. 🙂 The deeper…

One Question
The speaker in church today shared a question that he was asked a few years ago while he was serving a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ. He, in turn, asked the congregation, “If you were to meet God, our Father in Heaven, face to face, what is the one question you…

SMH!
We bought a new table a few months ago. Recently, I found a folded tablecloth and thought it was kind of nice for summer and placed it on the table until I get ready to redecorate the house. (We have three more rooms to paint, then the downstairs. The decorating can begin after that.) We…

Great Questions!
My husband and I have started getting to know each other better via communication and spending quality time together. I have discovered a few new things about him. It was fun for me to learn that his favorite flower (he has a favorite flower??) is a Dahlia. My favorite are tulips. We both like roses…

Riverfest Fun
After the parade this morning, our grandson rode home with me so he could spend time with “Grammy and Papa”. Our 6-year-old grandson and I convinced (it didn’t take much) my husband to go with us down to Riverfest at Snake River Landing to meet our grandson’s mommy and daddy. We loaded my husband’s wheelchair…

A Wannabe Writer, Burgers, and a Paintbrush
I sat down tonight to write. It was going to be an exercise in writing fiction, using my imagination to write from story prompts. First, I wanted to start with one paragraph, then multiple paragraphs, then chapters, etc. It seems that my imagination is not deep enough to write anything interesting enough to read. My…

The End of a Week Long Vacation
At home. My vacation was spent at home. Should have been spent in northern Idaho, but my DH and I decided to stay home and repaint the interior main floor of our home. It took six half-days to paint the kitchen, dining, living room, hall bath, hallway, laundry room, and the walls along the stairs.…

Time
I have been thinking about time and the question, “What does it mean to waste time?” I was pondering this question while looking at the flowers in my garden. They don’t do anything with time, except grow, and maybe blow in the wind from time to time. What is their purpose? Are the wasting time?…
