Turn Off the Web Cam
We are barely 3 weeks into most of the #StayAtHome recommendations and we are already over the web-based meetings with video. We are exhausted! Our new verb "Zooming" is zapping our energy but we can't figure out why. After all, isn't this what we wanted? To be able to work from home? And if you …
So This is Christmas
Another year older and a new one just begun. Christmas is the time of year, to be with the ones you love ... The mood is right. The spirit's up. We're here tonight and that's enough. Simply having a wonderful Christmas Time. Have yourself a Merry little Christmas. Let your heart be light. From now …
Excuses
A couple of years ago was my 25th high school reunion. I didn't go. Didn't really want to. There were a few people I would have liked to see, but I simply made excuses and did not attend. Recently a school classmate's child was murdered. Another classmate reached out to me about attending the funeral. …
Midlife Crisis
I had an eye exam today. I don't need bifocals ... yet. Next year, definitely is what the doctor said. She said I could get them now, or stick with single vision, until next year. 38 - 45 is when most people need bifocals. I'm just a few months from 45 which is exactly mid-life …
Mother’s Day
It's a quiet Mother's Day here. I can hear my husband snoring in the other room as I contemplate opening a bottle of wine. It's early afternoon and we have skipped church. I cleaned out my Girl Scout stuff, threw some away & offered some to other leaders. The girls are ... somewhere in the …
Girl Scout Cooking Fun
One of my favorite things about Girl Scouts is planning big events. Last fall, one of the Girl Scout staff members mentioned hosting an event in conjunction with the new Beauty & the Beast movie. I jumped on it, of course, because I thought it would be a lot of fun and a good excuse …
Life Goes On
I was struck today by how much we let the little things get to us. I followed people getting worked up on Twitter yesterday about whether or not United Airlines has the right to ask people flying on a "Buddy Pass" to dress a certain way (I don't know the right answer, but I do …
Beauty & the Beast
I have loved Beauty & the Beast since I saw it for the first time, right before Christmas break at the University of Montana (Missoula) 1991. I loved Belle. I identified with Belle -- the odd bookworm part, not the most beautiful girl part. I bought the soundtrack as it was available sooner than the …
Give it Away
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Lent was generally observed when I grew up with Wednesday services but I never really thought about it. We might give up something but beyond that, I don't know that I understood why. My Lent observances have varied over the years. My favorite observance was when our Billings church went through …
