Kate said order. I like order. I loathe chaos. When I sense there is no order to something I’m involved in or that is happening around me – I tend to recluse and quiet the chaos. A lot of people take that as rude or unsocial – but for me, it is the best way… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday
Five Minute Friday: Strong
Kate said strong. My first-born son was asked in an 11th Grade class, “Who is the strongest person you’ve ever met?” His answer was simply two words, “My mom.” I was floored when he told me that.

Five Minute Friday: Disagree
Kate said disagree. Did you just hear the air release? From the can of worms? Yup, Kate has been feisty lately with some of these word prompts! But I certainly don’t disagree with the level of challenge she’s been presenting us each and every Thursday night. You see she gives the prompt about 9:45 p.m…. [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: Slow
Kate said slow. Funny, I’ve used the expression “slow and steady” several times recently. I would rather be known for slow, steady, sure, and steadfast than fast and furious and full of hot air!!! The Turtle and the Hare You know the story. The bunny rabbit gets totally burned out and Mr. Turtle wins the… [Read More]
