Welcome to February

February 2, 2015February 2, 2015 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

The first month of 2015 is now behind me.  January went by fast, and I can't decide if that is a good thing or not.  Either way, I think time is just going to go by faster as it goes on.  At the beginning of the year, I set numerous goals for myself with the… Continue reading Welcome to February

Back to Gratitude (Weeks 3 & 4)

January 29, 2015January 29, 2015 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

Over the past few weeks, I haven't been making time to actually sit down and write about the things I am grateful for.  I always say I know what they are, but I am beginning to realize that by not taking the time to identify them and write them down, I am not getting the… Continue reading Back to Gratitude (Weeks 3 & 4)

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?).

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please
