Well, this last week certainly has been challenging. I knew I would be needing a new cell phone in the near future. Mine is 4 years old, and has been getting slower and slower over the last year. A couple of weeks ago, it started freezing up. The screen would just lock and I couldn’t…
DetailsIt’s definitely gotten hot here in Texas. With heat index values reaching as high as 109 this week, it’s hard to feel motivated to do anything outside at all. Even by 8 o’clock in the morning, I am wanting to stay in the shade. A popular saying around here is, “It’s stupid hot outside.” It…
DetailsA couple of weeks ago I found myself bogged down in a quagmire of apathy and indifference. I was hoping a trip out of town would spur me to break free of the feelings of loathing and procrastination I was having. It was something that started about a month ago. I started getting behind in…
DetailsIt’s not very often that I find myself struggling to get things done. Few things come close to the satisfaction I feel with accomplishing things and crossing them off my list.

DetailsIt’s really hard to complain about the weather this year. Winter was mild and spring couldn’t wait to start. The trees bloomed early, the grass turned green, and everything came up in the garden in March. We definitely didn’t get the rain we expected so I am glad that I had my sprinkler systems in…
DetailsI have so much to say, I don’t even know where to begin. In my last post, I told you that my husband and I were going camping at a state park nearby. Despite the weather forecast for storms, we did indeed go camping. We stayed in a screened-in shelter that was right on the…
DetailsI am not really sure why, but since today is the first official day of my vacation, I feel more relaxed than I have in a while. Even yesterday evening I was feeling stressed and tired, but today is a different story. Although I didn’t sleep really well, I have a budding happiness inside. Perhaps…
