Kate said just. Hmm. Adjective or adverb? How should this word be handled today? Because I am homeschooling English / Vocabulary / Spelling / Literature to my sophomore grandson I feel rather smart this morning. So I’ll approach it like this: Just – adjective: fair, fair-minded, equitable, even-handed, impartial, unbiased, objective, neutral. “A just and… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Confident
Kate said confident. Something I say to my adult grandchild, Be confident in your decisions; own your mistakes. I believe “real” confidence – not the boastful, braggadocious kind comes with maturity. And, I believe maturity can be in a 25-year old or the obvious, older person; however, confidence can be developed. I know because I… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: BUILD
Kate said BUILD. No brainer (for me). Love this prompt. Let’s go… We are all BUILDer’s. One way or the other – we are BUILDing something. And, regardless of what or who is being built there is a fundamental principle. Foundation. You must build a firm foundation because if you do not, your BUILDing will crumble…. [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: WHERE

Five Minute Friday: INFLUENCE

And the opposite is true also, I’ve had un-wonderful people influence me. My wasband influenced the way I saw myself, ugly and… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: BETTER
Kate said, “BETTER.” Good. Better. Best. I’ll do better next time. It’s better with butter on it. Everything’s betta with Feta! Odd word for the first prompt of the year. BETTER. I suppose I should think of what I want to do better in 2019, yet doing that puts a pile of expectation and guilt… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: WITH
Kate said, “WITH.” Odd word, with. How does one define “With?” It’s very sound means to be WITH. LOL. Not alone. Not by yourself. Not a single entity. But, WITH. I learned a long time ago that when all is said and done, my deep satisfaction, my deepest desires are the result of One. Remember,… [Read More]
