Too many things going wrong arguments cooking and cleaning confusion sickness But then I stop. I realized it’s me. It’s not what I’m doing, or what others… Continue reading Enough – Five Minute Friday

Grandfather Clock: Scribble Picnic
This week’s Scribble Picnic’s prompt – Grandfather Clock. As I write this I am listening to the bong on our own grandfather clock chime the half hour. Hubby built the cabinet and assembled the clock a couple of years ago. He had plans spread out on our dining room table that would compete with house plans. Pages… Continue reading Grandfather Clock: Scribble Picnic
Define: Five Minute Fridays
Prompt for this week – DEFINE. 5 minutes to write. Go. On hearing the word “define” I thought about how I am so different than I was 15 years ago. Christ has defined me. He has made me new. He has given me purpose. He does define me. Before Christ, I enjoyed my life. But… Continue reading Define: Five Minute Fridays
Boats: Scribble Picnic

Scribble Picnic: Lantern
This week’s prompt at #Scribblepicnic is LANTERN. It’s funny that I love lanterns. We have always had a couple of them around. At our cottage we used them quite a bit when the power went out. Learning to trim the wick, add the oil and not touch the glass when it has been lit were… Continue reading Scribble Picnic: Lantern
Abandon: Five Minute Friday
We are given 5 minutes to write without editing on a word every week. This week’s word is ABANDON. Sometimes I want to abandon what I am doing. I ask myself why am I doing this? This is especially true about my writing and art. Sometimes I get discouraged and feel like giving up. But then… Continue reading Abandon: Five Minute Friday
