I was greeted by bubbles when I walked into the barn this morning…. everywhere!
Apparently, the babes wanted to wash all the blankets for me, as a special surprise. I’ve been busily setting up the classroom and organizing all of our school supplies, and I guess the babes wanted to help.
I can’t really complain though… it smells wonderful in my office!
You might even say that it was a double bonus for me, as the babes were all in great need of a good scrub behind their ears. I made rather short work of grabbing a washrag and giving them each a quick once over.
It’s clear that all are fully ready for classes to begin…
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?
Here’s a first! I don’t really have any words to write, just now.
Instead, I’ve chosen scripture to share with you this morning. Sometimes it says that which I cannot!
“Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll– are they not in your record? Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise– in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.” Psalm 56: 8 – 13
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!
I spent yesterday setting up the framework for Volume II of my book series, and today I will be building my storyboard on the computer.
I like to have lots of maps and pictures available, making it easier for the writing of the story, itself… my mojo, if you will.
I want to keep moving forward with the storyline, regardless of how long it takes for the first book to get picked up. My desire is to keep everything connected as smoothly as possible for whomever eventually reads the books.
I’m certainly not boasting that I shall become some writing guru that pops out best selling novels like tic tac’s, or anything. I suppose I simply want to have the most positive attitude towards the future that I can, regardless of circumstances or any future outcome… it just makes things look brighter, that’s all.
Besides, I better use it or loose it, as far as putting words to paper… I’m not getting any younger!
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!
