PLAYing Thru
Only by the grace of God, I kept my playful attitude going this week. The determination to change my perspective helped me get through a tougher week. I found some everyday play opportunities. Continue reading “PLAYing Thru”
Milly in the Middle (Part 1)
I finished the writing marathon a week ago. Deciding to take some down time to rest and think; I came down off the high realizing Ms. Milly is in the middle of a lot of stuff. Continue reading “Milly in the Middle (Part 1)”
Fairy Tales and Rhymes
Did you ever think about where our childhood stories came from? As usual, I have my own theory… Continue reading “Fairy Tales and Rhymes”
Message: REST!
The way God communicates still amazes me. He sends a message. I get it but not really. I plow back into life. He has to pull me back and remind me there is something he is trying to tell me. Continue reading “Message: REST!”
Limits
It is said, “Live Life without Limits.” Growing up my dad taught me, I had no limits. I could do or be anything I set my mind to. Recently, I discovered that line of thinking is not necessarily true…
Deep down, I knew it all along. I also denied it for most of my adult life. Even struggling with pain for the last fourteen years (has it been that long? Yeah I guess so). I did not accept limitations for myself. I pushed through the pain. I told myself, “No pain, no gain!” And “Work through the pain!” Oh, and don’t forget the classic, “Mind over matter!”
Well…Happy Weekend!
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!

Sleepy Milly {Yawn}
I hit the wall in May. I talked about it in my last few blogs. It’s been ten days since I could write. I feel frustrated since I’m letting you and myself down. It’s like all the energy left me in a big “whoosh!” I was left high and dry. Continue reading “Sleepy Milly {Yawn}”
Fear Rush
In the past I’ve been called an adrenaline junkie. What causes an adrenaline rush? For me, and I think a lot of us, it is fear. Yes…I’m back to fear. I have found I still have lessons to learn on this subject. Continue reading “Fear Rush”
