Day 30: The Project Ends

November 30, 2014November 30, 2014 Crankygiraffe7 Comments

"Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." ~Helen Keller The end of November is finally here... and what an adventure it has been. When I set out on this November adventure, I never could have imagined that it would have taken the turns that it has.  It was a challenge to complete the majority… Continue reading Day 30: The Project Ends

"The truth will set you free.  But not until it is finished with you." ~David Foster Wallace There is something waiting to be discovered I'm not sure I really want to know. The truth is hard to find, But easy to hide, And easier to be hidden from. The pattern of distress is confusing, And… Continue reading Day 29: Freedom of Truth

"Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness." ~George Orwell I am afflicted with the dreaded writer's block.  I have been thinking on today's quotation for hours and hours and I can't piece something together.  I hoped that re-reading the card I wrote would help me,… Continue reading Day 28: The Block

Thankful

November 27, 2014November 27, 2014 Crankygiraffe8 Comments

This morning as I drove to work, I complained to myself about how horrible the winter driving conditions were.  I took a picture through my windshield with the intent of blogging about the woes of winter weather and block heaters and 30 below wind chills. Later in the morning I took a picture of my… Continue reading Thankful

Day 27: What is 5 Years?

November 27, 2014November 26, 2014 Crankygiraffe5 Comments

"You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness." ~Johnathan Safran Foer There is a current radio commercial that I hear every day on my drive to and from work.  I can't even remember what the commercial is advertising, but it stands out in my head because of its opening line: "Oh November,… Continue reading Day 27: What is 5 Years?

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

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?). I think the real reason they are less […]

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

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness?
