This heating is sucking the life out of me... or maybe it's the fact that I worked harder than usual at getting my exercise game on... or maybe it's the fact that I still have not worked out my sleep patterns.

Resigning from Contention
In President Russell M. Nelson’s talk, “Peacemakers Needed" in April 2023, he taught, “Civility and decency seem to have disappeared during this era of polarization and passionate disagreements.” “Vulgarity, fault finding, and evil speaking of others are all too common.” “I am greatly concerned that so many people seem to believe that it is completely… Continue reading Resigning from Contention

Resigning my control of the Agency of others
I think I'm on to something. All these years I needed to resign as the self-imposed General Manager of the Universe. I named my blog after my self-imposed title as a tongue-in-cheek, humorous to only me, title. But what I didn't realize was that God inspired this title as a lesson. I'm finally listening. For… Continue reading Resigning my control of the Agency of others

They didn't meet my Grandpa who served in Europe during WWII. They didn't meet Great Grandpa who died (as… Continue reading Always Remember
Experiencing Joy

The answer that came out of my mouth surprised me because they were words I had not previously formed or contemplated. My experiences… Continue reading Experiencing Joy

My life is a whirlwind. I truly do need to resign from something. However, I don't know what thing to let go of... it must be my blog. LOL. My intention was to write something everyday. Hmmm... It's been a hot minute. I was recently reminded that writing is something I need to process the… Continue reading I’m Dreaming of a Snow Day
New Year… New Thoughts
I saw this quote today and thought, it might be time to dust off the blog and to start again. 2022 was not what I would call "a walk-in-the-park." In fact, it was rough. So many things and no desire to remember them for posterity. This quote is a good reminder that I CHOOSE what… Continue reading New Year… New Thoughts
