How do you unwind after a demanding day?
View all responses

Laughter, as they say, is one of the best medicines… for the body, mind, AND Soul!

I love watching things that make me laugh, but to unwind, I need specific kinds of things to make me laugh the right way… the unwinding way!

Musicals!!! They have to be on the top of my laughter list… Remember Mary Poppins? Remember the scene where everyone is stuck on the ceiling because they couldn’t stop laughing? Here…

One of my fav’s!

There are those times that I need to watch a comedy or two, but there are those days where I binge watch Dry Bar Comedy, where the jokes and stories are funny… not rude, crass, or gross. My kids are all grown and gone, so I no longer have to put up with that stuff.

Last, but certainly not least, I love to laugh with friends. Whether we watch something together, play online games together, or simply talk on the phone… again, laughter is often the best medicine for what ails ya, which this prompt refers to as “a demanding day”. Just sayin…

Here, want a funny cookie?

He Found Me…

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
View all responses

All those years ago, in the heart of a desolate child, God reached down and plucked me from the clutches of the enemy… in every sense of the words!

Utterly lost and forgotten, until He sought me out!

It’s been quite a journey since…

  • Dream of anything…
  • Snacks, of course…

Through anger, fear, and the nightmares that haunted me, I fought God for years. I refused to let go of the very things that were destroying me from the inside out… memories! Mine, theirs, the memories became baggage that only gained weight with the passage of time.

The good, the bad, and all that lay between… He never let go of this broken one, this forgotten child. After all the things I did to push God away from me, He still held on with such intensity, I could no longer deny Him!

Truly, I am walking this earth because of the grace and power of God, and God alone! Positive, oh yes… I’d say that encounter had a very positive effect on this child!

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

I’d have to say that choosing to become a mother, quickly set me upon a path that has changed me in more ways than I could ever fully describe. I’m pretty sure that just about every woman ever to become a mother, would say that it was a major life changer. Let’s just say that this woman is very different than the one that made that choice, so many years ago.

Through it all, and that includes the heartache as well as the joys, I have learned to love more deeply, forgive more graciously (myself included), give more readily to another… and here’s a biggie… I learned how to overcome failures, learning from them instead of feeling defeated by them.

Raising my daughters helped make me the person that I am today, and I like the me that I ended up becoming…

Just sayin!

Here, grab a cookie…

Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.
View all responses

Since the bible says that we are all brothers and sisters “in Christ”, then that means He qualifies as a family member that has done something positive for me… and you, as well!

Jesus did what no one else could… He Conquered death itself!

John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” I’m going out on a limb here, but I would definitely call that something positive!

Just sayin…

What is your favorite restaurant?
View all responses

Quite honestly, there isn’t one particular culinary establishment that I’d call my favorite. Don’t get me wrong, as I enjoy going out now and again, same as everybody else. But I’m a farmgirl at heart, with the taste and cravings of all things fresh and natural…

And I’m a fairly good cook, if I might be so bold.

As for my baking skills, well, let’s just say I can make a cheesecake that’ll bring world peace, and cookies … oh the cookies…

Help yourself, cause there’s plenty more to come!

Just sayin…

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
View all responses

Delicious and rich vanilla creamer in my morning coffee, for starters! Anyone that knows me will not be surprised at my first choice. I do tend to mention my love of coffee often, in fact, I’d venture to say I do it nearly every day. Hey, at least you know what you get with this girl… a lot of God, followed by cookies and coffee.

Anyways, getting back to this everyday happy list, choices 2 thru 5 are rather easy:

A full tube of toothpaste

Toilet paper

Frequent hugs

and of course…

Cookies!!!!!!!!

New Hands…

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

The easiest way to describe how new hands were such a positive change for me, is to just show you…

The old hands held onto so many painful things from the past, but with new hands on board, I began to let go…

When this began happening, I noticed how much strength began to return to my body. With two new hands, now free of waste, I have the freedom to use these hands for so much more… so much good!

There is freedom to reach out in love now, more and more each day, without guilt, shame, bitterness, resentment, anger or poison from the past.

… and, that also leaves oodles of spare time for one of my favorite hobbies. Take a wild guess…

ummm, baking cookies for you, of course!

The ways of water…

What’s the most fun way to exercise?
View all responses

I choose water… duh! I mean, come on… think of all the ways water can be used:

It can take you places you never thought you could go…

Call it swimming, flying or rowing… or sometimes just playin in a bucket in the barn.

Time for a bath…

Water gives strength, health, and a whole lotta power…

Most importantly, water brings life…

and I swear that most all the good things that happen in my life… happen on or near the water.

Even in the dark of night, when things seemed impossible water can carry you through it…

Trust me when I say that one gets a good workout! Maybe we even come out the better for it, in the end.

If you’re lucky, you get to learn some pretty neat stuff while you ride the waters… I did!

Like how to bake cookies without getting motion sick…

Go on… take one. They aren’t wet or anything, I swear!

If you give this mouse a cookie…

What book could you read over and over again?

Tilly and I agree that Bibles and cookies are the two best things ever!!!! Think about it for a second… I’ll wait… ok, I’ll tell you what I mean. Both bibles and cookies are good for the heart, the mind and the soul. They both make us happy, heal our hurts, fill us up, give us loads of energy… and make us better human beings!

Just sayin…

For now, we’ll start with the cookie…

We can share it! Hugs

When I was five???

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
View all responses

Quite honestly, I’m not sure I was thinking in terms of my future career when I was five years old. Baby dolls, kittens, puppies, candy apples at the fair, and how much I hated liver and onions are mostly all that I was thinking about at that age.

Being born and raised on a farm, my early days were spent on the back of a horse or eating all of the strawberries that my mother was trying to pick for making jam.

Though I may not have thought of my future career when I was five, it’s funny that I ended up doing one or more of my childhood activities for adult pursuits, i.e. raising babies, baking, gardening, camping, hunting, fishing, breeding dogs, homeschooling my children, and now, becoming a writer. The writer part is the result of the thousands of books I read from the time I was tiny… that and watching Willy Wonka, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and The Sound of Music, just for starters!

I think that maybe that’s what a five year old should be doing at that age… not dreaming of a career, but dreaming of magic, miracles and adventure, pure and wonderful! Who knows, though, maybe I was just slow to develop in that regard. Maybe I just watched too many cartoons, and/or read too many silly adventure books. Oh well, I’m still glad I spent my childhood with Gene Wilder, Julie Andrews, Dick Vandyke, and Angela Lansbury, aren’t you? Why? Because, my imagination was born there…

Have a cookie…

We can share!
