Just yesterday morning this word was spoken out of my mouth in positive fashion. Hubs didn’t walk with me so I did an in-town 30 minute brisk walk. Now that we live downtown, in a second floor flat, I walk with a lanyard-type necklace with our key attached, the car key is on there too…. [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: anniversary
Kate said, “Anniversary.” Seems a strange word to write a five-minute essay on, doesn’t it? Unless you’re having one. anniversary, that is. There are anniversaries of all sorts of things. Happy things. Sad things. Silly things. Spiritual things. I remember dates. Therefore, I have a lot of “anniversaries” floating in my internal computer. Even a… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: SECRET
Kate said, “SECRET.” I love this photograph – look at the little girl’s eyes! She seems to be delighting in her mom’s secret. I wonder what Mom is telling her. Don’t tell your brother but we are going to have a special girl’s day today. Shhh. You cannot say a word. It’s a secret between… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: INCLUDE
Kate said, “Include.” This morning I woke up, got coffee, came upstairs to do my FMF post. When I saw the word “include” I thought to myself this may be hard.

Five Minute Friday: TURN
Kate said, “TURN.” 00:00 A series of essayettes! Turn your life around. There are times when God comes in and holds that stop sign or perhaps a yield sign and so loudly you hear Him say, IT IS TIME YOU TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND. You can read about that here. *** God allow U-TURNS. Yes,… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: RELEASE
Kate said, “Release.” I followed my normal FMF routine but this word didn’t have the power of resonating with me. I have released a lot of things over the years. An unfaithful husband Children, as they fledged the nest Control over circumstances I had no control over (anyway) Habits An addiction or two Fear A… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: SETTLE
Kate was at her book launch party and was rather excited and beside herself but she finally said “SETTLE.” I do hope she settled down enough to sleep. Her new book? Can be found here. 00:00 Now y’all know my FMF routine because I wrote about it last week. So as I put my head… [Read More]
