[yeah, I totally stole this picture from my computer]

I'm feeling rather wordy today. (make that inspired)
Maybe it's because of the amounts of coffee I consumed,
or the random sound track I'm listening to,
or the breakfast that I got to eat at 10ish after dealing with a puking patient,
or um, yeah, really don't know...

BUT. I have an idea. And I'm excited. It will be 26 Days of Thankfulness. You know, like Project 365, except not. Stay tuned.

I actually dreamed about the same meal two nights this week. [hobo dinners] I think it's a sign.
Saturday Meal here we come! YUM.

I am thinking about this question: "How should one spend their life and...what experiences (personal and observed) in your life support your ideas?"
Maybe I will blog my answer. Some day.

Halloween suddenly struck me as odd. Maybe it was the severed limbs hanging from door frames. Or the um, well, the darkness that is associated with it.
Don't get me wrong, I like dressing up, and I like candy, but, really...

Are you amazed? My wordiness ended already. Not in my head, mind you, but in my fingers... or words... or something...

Quote that I absolutely LOVE:
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour and with that one, is what we are doing."

Totally agree about Halloween...just walking down the costume aisle at Wally World is enough to gross me out.

nothing new [under the sun]

I feel like I am in a transition place. waiting. planning. carrying on with "normal" life. anticipating the changes that the future holds. just trying to get laundry done and keep the dishes washed and the bags out of the way of foot traffic. I feel like I have been blessed with so much.   a great support network of friends. awesome church family. job = perfect for me. so many opportunities to satisfy my wanderlust this year. the black hills in my back yard. family who love Christ and love me.  that's why I was a little surprised to find myself searching. to find myself dissatisfied . i wanted more  places to go. more people to spend time with. longer nights. everyone's schedule planned around me. better experiences. more adrenaline thrills. time off work. the responsibilities to take care of themselves. why is it not enough?  because i found myself seeking for attention  or acceptance  or satisfaction anywhere other than fro...

Hello (a long, rambling introduction).

If you have been reading this blog for longer than two seconds, you most likely have been with me for some pretty painful blogging years (let's be real: they probably aren't over). Those early days -yikes. I have long held to the personal principal that I started this blog for fun, and that's how I want to keep it -however weird it may get at times. I don't want to feel like I have to produce content to keep up the page views or to sell a product or to get some Pinterest pins.  I think (ok KNOW) part of that is due to pride. In other words, if I am not feeling like I have anything to publish here that will be The Best, and get a lot of shares or comments or ... whatever... then I don't want to do it. A lot of what Amelia wrote recently resonated with me in that regard. I read a lot of blogs. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who blog. I am guilty of condescendingly rolling my internal eye-balls at people I feel like are just blogging to get the page c...
