Square

I am tired of doing things that do not add up logically. We do things because it is just the way it is done, the law, or protocol. I have to say I am feeling a bit rebellious. Which is not always the answer. Yet, rebellion led us to the country in which I live today. Not perfect, but a good place to live.

I am tired of society trying to make things work different when they can't. Improvement is always welcome, but not always achieved. Does this mean we stop trying to improve, of course not. It seems that emphasis has been misplaced at times and facts forgotten. For example, FACT: I am not a genius. (shocking to some, other are saying "far from it!") FACT: I can't become a genius. Not even if I surround myself with MENSA and read books all day long. My IQ is what it is and declining everyday. I might be able to improve it a tad here and there, but a genius I will never be. Society has a habit of trying to fit square pegs in a round hole and sometimes that square peg is just a square peg. Can some of us just be SQUARE?

Sometimes things that are made to make things "better", make new problems. Just an observation thrown into my life a lot lately.

To err is human! Yet, some of us are so prideful we forget this. I have learned lately that someone else makes an error and it causes us a lot of back tracking or more work. Sometimes we become a freight train in our furry. I am so glad I had time to react to a letter recieved this weekend that I could do nothing about until Monday. My first reaction was freight train, WAR! My second which proved less stressful for the war in which I engaged was not threatening and actually got me further than I thought. I still might have to do a lot of work on my end, but I see where my tactic worked so much better than freight train. I am in a war and the enemy doesn't even know it!

I recently read The Art of War, maybe my new views are because if this. I am not going to quote it exactly right, but one of the tactics is something along the lines of don't start a war with fire if downwind. Makes perfect sense, but how often are we standing downwind when fire is started? Just some stuff to chew on.

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...

Insecurity

I am reading a book by Beth Moore called So Long Insecurity you've been a bad friend to us. I was asked by a friend to do a book club kinda thing. I agreed just to feel included so many miles away (insecurity?). I am lonely of being in Alabama without my girlfriends and agreed to read this book. I have to say I didn't think I had issues with insecurity at the time I bought this book. I am a pretty secure woman, but as I continue to read I see where we all have some issues with insecurity. For anyone that knows Beth Moore you know she is a no nonsense Christian and is very challenging. I appreciate her openness and honesty. I am really enjoying the book. Mostly because I have two girls that will be women one day. Don't we all want our daughters to be secure? Of course we do. I think Beth Moore has hit the nail on the head! My challenge to all my girl friends is to not worry about what other think and buy a book that is about insecurity and read it! If not for yo...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...
