I’ve spend my life preparing for this and that. My herb garden did not fare well this winter. I spent yesterday evening ripping out the old dried struggling herbs and preparing the soils for new herbal life. That got me to pondering while I worked the soil.

Ding! The gloves are off! I’m twelve days into Lent and the worry habit is not going away without a fight. Continue reading “Worry Fights Back!”
This weekend is a gift. Today I’m thinking of the coming year. Last year I dubbed 2017 “The Year of Getting It Done.” The year didn’t work out quite like I thought it would. So, much for my 2017 New Year’s resolutions {wry smile}… Continue reading “In the Present”
What happened? All the sudden my preparations and stuff have overshadowed something. Did I miss something? Where did he go? Continue reading “Christ in the Crush”
The office holiday extravaganza 2017 is over! We celebrated ourselves, ate, built our team, played games, and mingled {whisper: woo hoo it’s over…did I say that…Shh…Don’t tell my bosses). Continue reading “Office Party Circa 2017”
Hello? Anyone out there in cubicle land? I got cookies here… Is that an echo I hear…I hear…I hear? Continue reading “Food and Events in Cubicleland”
Another week has gotten away from me. The chronic pain has ramped up along with the increasing stress levels. I have called a Family Meeting for tomorrow. Work, medical appointments, business appointments, Dad, errands swirl around me like a perfect storm. I actually started two blogs since Tuesday. I just couldn’t finalize them.
Today I feel like I broke through the wall of the storm into the eye. My pain lessened as I drove for home. My shoulders straightened. The muscles in my back began to ease. The ache and pressure in my head settled to a dull ache. The weekend has arrived. I get to work and write at home.
I love Friday evening. It is a time full of hope and promise of the gifts God has planned for me. Some of my weekends are restful. Some are rapid fire busy. Some are filled with energy and some are full of fatigue and pain. Most are somewhere in between. This one promises to be in between. I’m looking forward to a mixture of accomplishment and rest. My favorite kinda weekend, I want to experience it all!
Weekends don’t always work out the way I plan but, most weekends do. Isn’t that why we look forward to them starting on…well in my case Monday morning? {Wink}
My weekend started Friday afternoon. This weekend many will have planned a four-day extravaganza. I do get the 4th of July off. I’m one of those taking the weekend then working Monday to take Tuesday off this year. On Mondays I step back into the storm. Storms are unpredictable. I hope this one will let me stay in the eye for a couple of days.
If you have a long weekend, enjoy it to the max! If you are working this weekend and holiday, thank you for being there. I appreciate your service. If you’re like me off and on again, welcome to my club, I’m enjoying it!
Happy Birthday to the U.S. of A!
Milly
