Earlier this week we took a drive down by the lake to see if the recent rains helped any with lake levels. Those are all tree stumps sticking up out of the water! This is a man-made lake that was completed in 1973. I have lived in the area since 1988, and have never seenContinue reading “Random photos: Crazy things are going on at the lake.”

“You can’t hate yourself into improving.”
I came across this video in my YouTube feed this morning. I think she has a unique perspective on self improvement that many of us need to think about. It’s worth a listen. I mentioned, the other day, I wanted to set up some goals for this year, and that I was thinking about aContinue reading ““You can’t hate yourself into improving.””

Happy New Year
Happy 2024 to all my friends and readers. I hope you had a happy and safe New Year’s Eve. We spent a lovely evening with a friend playing games and watching movies.

After all, there is no point in my life that I would ever want to relive. Nevertheless, there are still thingsContinue reading “Nostalgia”
Strangely personal
What relationships have a positive impact on you? The prompts lately have seemed strangely personal. I don’t know if it’s just me and the headspace I’ve been in lately or if there have really been unusually intrusive questions. I will say this. All relationships have a positive impact. It’s all about perspective. If you chooseContinue reading “Strangely personal”
Fun is necessary. Play is vital.
What was the last thing you did for play or fun? It’s a curious reality that people believe fun an play are childish things. I don’t really understand that idea. Fun and play are vital ingredients in human existence. We learn better and retain more when the lessons are enjoyable. We are healthier, both mentallyContinue reading “Fun is necessary. Play is vital.”
Happy Sunday
I hope everyone had a lovely Sunday. I’ve been working my fingers off trying to get stuff done today. I finished the whole front side of the rocketship pillow I’m making for one of our grandsons. At the end of that session, I needed a break from single crochet stitches, so I learned the PistachioContinue reading “Happy Sunday”
Where do the hours go?
It’s Thursday night already! I have worked a solid eight hours on crochet today. I got a lot of work done on the projects I have going, but that’s all I did today. I was working so diligently, I didn’t even notice the time passing. I am finding it hard to believe the amount ofContinue reading “Where do the hours go?”
