I can let go of, move on from, or overcome the absence of a myriad of things that this world offers… all of it!
The lesson that I wish I’d understood much earlier in my lifetime, is that what I cannot let go of, move on from or overcome any absence of, is God!
Just sayin…
Here, have a cookie…
Forget wondering if my answer will be different than last years answer to this prompt question… my answer can change from one day to the next, depending on how I feel.
I have go to favorites for when I feel sad, or lonely.
I have my list of comfort foods for the dreary days.
I have a short list of terribly unhealthy junk food choices, for game days.
See what I mean…
Bottom line is that I love food, and aside from the list of definite no no’s for my health issues, I have a pretty broad palette of tastes.
I love me some good ole soups and stews with either homemade bread or rolls.
If I get my choice of toppings, I can make a pretty large dent in a pizza!
I can be extravagant in my tastes, but also, sometimes nothing says happy like a plain and simple pb n j, if you know what I mean.
Just think of me as Templeton the rat, from Charlotte’s Web, because when it comes to noshing on good eats, all I can say is…
Food, Glorious Food!
Speaking of glorious, these cookies should fit the bill…
As I answered the question last year from an actual exercise point of view, I chose to think of the question metaphorically, if you will.
I spent most of my considerable years running…
Running from trauma, hurt, pain, rejection, judgement and unforgiveness from others. I choose not to do that any longer!
Instead, I now choose to walk forward, one day at a time!
So, in answer to the prompt… I walk every day.
But, I also make my friends cookies each morning.
Not that I’m trying to tell you how to eat a cookie or anything, but if you nibble on the toe’s first… the rest of the foot tastes better!
I would make a horrible leader! I am over 50 and pretty grumpy… not what you want in a leader! I will be the first one to tell you that you are being an idiot, whether you actually are or not!
Too many years of watching folks make the same choices, while expecting a different outcome, has made me a bit jaded.
Before you start thinking I’m pointing fingers, don’t! Where do you think I learned to recognize stupidity and ignorance? Still seeing it in my day to day, so I’ve apparently got a ways to go before fully learning all my lessons. For that reason, I decline the position of leader… cause somebody might get hurt!
Just sayin…
Aren’t you glad I opted to be like the lunch lady and offer you cookies every morning?
All the prompt asked for was my favorite word, which is Grace!
Nuff said.
Enjoy the cookie…
I loved to watch that cartoon Pinky and the Brain, where the two lab mice or rats (whatever they were) would start their day off with the big dumb one asking the small one the same question from the day before… hey, Brain, what are we doing today? Brain would always answer the same thing, as well… Pinky, today we are going to take over the world!
When I saw the prompt, my mind went straight to that old cartoon… so, that’s my long winded answer for what I’m doing this evening. No, this evening won’t be filled with plans for world domination. I just have no intention of airing my evening activities for all to read!
If we have nothing better to do than to read what others are doing in their personal time, well then, we need to find something to do. If we have nothing better to do than to hand out all our personal business for others to feed off of, well then, we need to stop oversharing so much personal information…
Just sayin…
Here, have a cookie…
Please don’t try eating the mice… they’re not cookies!
Promises Promises
Have I got a deal for you
It’s a guarantee
I’m doing this for you
I swear it
You deserve it
All I need from you is
If you do this, then I’ll
It’ll be just between us
Anytime there is an overly happy, too good to be true sort of person, acquaintance, sales person or what not… the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end!
I’ll tell you why…
Because, promises are not always promises, not all deals are all that good, there are no guarantees, most people who tell you it’s for your good are about to hurt your feelings, anyone can swear nowadays, no one truly knows who deserves what, there is always a catch or something in it for the one offering… and, it is never, ever, ever just between you and them!
I know, I know… pretty brutal and straight up, right?!
I’m pretty sure everyone has met at least one person like this in their lifetime. Maybe not all of the above in just one person, but it is a self-centered personality trait that I find rather irritating, destructive, and dangerous… I avoid this personality like the plague!
I’ll make it clear here that I’ve no specific person to point fingers at, since the trait can be found in any sort of type… if they let it!
Here, have a cookie…
I’m just going to leave a link for you to visit my answer from last year, if you so choose to read further…
The Sands Of Time… https://wiwohka.blog/2023/09/11/the-sands-of-time/
I might ask you to click on a re-run of my prompt response, but I wouldn’t think of offering you cookies from a year ago… ewwww!
I find that I am in need of some extra time in the word, today. I shall continue on my way through the Psalms, with a heavy splash of the book of Matthew… mmmmm…. perfect!
God Bless each and everyone of you, my friends!
Oh, and help yourselves to a muffin before you leave…
Since I don’t personally know any professional athletes, this prompt question is impossible to truthfully answer… sorry.
Respect is something earned, and I don’t see how I might accurately form an opinion about anyone I don’t really know.
Not only that… I most certainly would not make my assessment based off of anything that has been in the media. I say this because for the most part, it’s no longer about what the truth is… just who published the juicy information first!
Maybe I’d feel differently if I were a die hard sports fan, or something… but it’s obvious that I’m not.
I do love cookies though…
