and Purposeful Prose
I'm a fish Blub blub blub Don’t ask I'm trying something different Thinking outside my box It was kind of cramped in there anyways. Wait a minute I'm a fish Fishes don’t have boxes They swim the ocean with ease Sometimes we call them seas So seize the day And be a fish If you [...]
It's been some time since I continued my "Parentage" posts! Nice hair, right!? Better than mine. (smirk) In the above image are my great-grandpa's sisters. (Nellie, Maud and Rose.) Do you give much thought to family history? I enjoy uncovering or discovering things. Unfortunately, only one side of my family showed any interest in keeping [...]
I found this in one of my notebooks and thought it was funny. Apparently Andrew and I must have been watching a nature show. This is the first thing I wrote down: "Baboons raising their eyebrows is a sign of aggression." Next were my thoughts on this matter... When I raise my eyebrows it’s a [...]
I'm not a big fan of sudden, unexpected power outages. As the case may be they're almost always sudden and unexpected. Life is the same way. Things have a way of changing on a dime. Thankfully our power outage occurred on Monday morning after I'd posted on my blog, caught up with a friend, and [...]

No, I haven’t become Miss Doom and Gloom. I haven't lost hope either. 😀 I found this little "lost episode" in my email. I wrote it waaaaaaay back before the pandemic got started. It does pay off to squirell things away, especially when you're prone to choppy seas. Consider this a lost episode of Star [...]

This isn’t what I planned on posting. I'm not feeling happy with what I was going to share, and to be honest the day is attempting to kick me in the teeth. As I started to get tearful, hope and joy began to run the other way. Get back here!!! Stop being cowards!!!! Okay, that [...]
I'm dreaming… Of another place and better days Dreaming Of brighter thoughts and better ways Dreaming That dreams come true I know some do But while I dream there's work to do. I'm dreaming... That trials and tears come to an end Dreaming Of laughter, love and friends Dreaming On wings I'll soar and life [...]
Sometimes faith feels like a battle upon the sea. I can succumb to really negative thinking patterns. These are definitely waves to me. If I don't get into a more positive thinking rhythm I can quickly start to sink like a stone as hope fades. Joy soon follows. Scripture tells us to take our thoughts [...]
