I think all weather has its place and time to be enjoyable, so I don’t have a specific favorite.
Whether its weather for getting sand on your toes…
Or the kind that keeps us indoors…
Sometimes it slows us down long enough to relax…
Sometimes it motivates us take the time to enjoy the life around us…
I simply couldn’t choose a favorite, because all weather can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it… just sayin!
Have a sweet Saturday treat…
“I wait for the Lord,
my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.”
Psalm 130:5
I might be on vacation, but I’d never forget to share Note To Self #30. Have a fantastic weekend… hugs to everyone!
Life itself was my most influential teacher! Why? Because it kicked my can around town for so many of my growing up years, that’s why! I’ve yet to meet an actual earth creature that truly influenced me, more than me just trying to navigate a world that has no safety net for the lost ones!
Don’t get me wrong, as there were plenty of people in and around my life to influence me, to an extent. Since most of them were very negative influences, as well as being very unhealthy and/or cruel, I will go as far as to say, they get some of the credit for how I got here… I just don’t think that it’s fair to give them the whole price tag for how I turned out.
God alone is my only true lifelong influence… otherwise, I wouldn’t be here writing this prompt answer today!
With that being said, I’m off to continue my week of self-imposed vacation… ta ta for now…
You didn’t think that I would forget your cookies…
I took a bite out of the one in front, sorry…
Brutus is taking his babysitting duties very seriously, watching over all the babes for me, while I get some much needed R and R! He loves being in charge, I think. But I’m not telling him that, or else it’ll go to his head.
Yes, I’m in my pajamas while chasing down monsters in a fictitious forest! I take one day at a time, living the life set before me with a steady pace. Whatever God sets before me to do… I do it!
Right now, that means playing video games with my husband in our pajamas folks!
I don’t make wishes anymore, but I DO have a hope and a future…
Here, have a cookie with me… I made em yesterday…
Starting yesterday, I am supposed to be on vacation, taking time away from work, for what I consider brain resting. Yesterday I made my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies, and I splurged by adding giant dark chocolate chips, as well as milk chocolate… good choice! Baking them in a toaster oven is sort of like using an Easy-Bake Oven, but with a really strong lightbulb. Now I can bake four cookies at a time instead of just one.
Today will come up with fun ideas of its own, but it won’t be work. I can’t seem to refrain from leaving you messages though, because I’m leaving this note, while eating a cookie with my coffee.
Who knows what the day will bring…
Before, I had only 4…
When God got ahold of me,
I received just ONE more…
The first 4 came from a needle and some ink,
But the last one arrived in one simple blink…
The ones you see with your eyes are mine,
but the one hidden within has anchored me to the vine…
I don’t need any more things that will just fade away,
I’ve been sealed by His blood
for the rest of my days!
You know me, with an incessant need to take ideas and run with them, or in this case… fly with them!
After yesterdays prompt question, where I changed just one word, thereby altering the question to suit my style… I couldn’t get the Woodpecker out of my mind. I decided to create my own Avatar, of sorts!
I’ve decided that I like being a fluffy flyer, always looking out for the little eggs in the sandbox…
You can all start calling me Wiwohka the Wordy Woodpecker, the bird with the beautiful beak!
Folks may not enjoy all the words I keep chirping, nor the way my beak continually hammers out truths… but I sure am cute!
Of all the species of feathered flyers out there, the one bird that describes me would be the Woodpecker! Why? Well, I read off of the Wikipedia site that these birds have very strong jaw muscles.
Anyone who knows much about me, should already be aware that I talk a whole lot! I mean A LOT! I always have… and I highly doubt that I will be slowing down any time soon. Over the years I have been chided about it, counseled to slow it down, and/or even avoided because of it. For a time, I attempted to back away from my own chatty nature, in hopes of pleasing others. I soon learned that it was more my personality than my chattiness that pushed others away. When I discovered that I like myself just as I am, I stopped trying to be that which I was not, for others sake!
I like being a Woodpecker, incessantly hammering out the love of Christ, over and over and over again! For anyone who is bothered by my noise, there are plenty of other trees in the forest! God made me this way, so I’ve no intention of changing something if it’s not broken! Just sayin…
I’ve left you some seeds…
