I’ve always been fascinated with numbers. From a young age, I was drawn to them and what they represented. Now, many years later, I still notice numbers, regardless of when and where they appear. Today reminded me of my fascination with numbers and their possible meaning. Today I rolled into the McDonald’s drive-thru for myContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Eight”

100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Six
I saw this quote just yesterday and was reminded that both faith and fear share a lot in common. The basic premise for both is that we’ve chosen to believe in something that we cannot see. Sometimes that’s a bit hard to wrap your mind around until you consider that all that we can seeContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Six”
100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Four
One step at a time,,,,one day at a time. I am reminded in one of my daily readings this morning to take life one step at a time, one day at a time. I can look at the days ahead and be overwhelmed by all that I perceive I have to get done. The mind’sContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Four”
100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-Three
Random thoughts on this day…. It’s been over a week since I’ve last written in this series and I’m not focused on any one train one thought. Instead, a myriad of thoughts come across and through my mind this day.
100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-One
In a get-together of like-minded friends, we discussed resentment and the power it can have in all of our lives. And perhaps most importantly, how to rid ourselves of it. Resentment is a feeling most all of us have had at some point-in-time,,,,or perhaps at many points in time. Someone has done something “to us,”Continue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Fifty-One”
100 Days of Writing – Day Forty-Eight
So many things we can become addicted to,,,,but why? I was talking with a friend last night about my continuing quest to be a non-smoker, lamenting how difficult some parts of the journey had been. She was tackling a similar issue with certain types of food she had been avoiding, for about the same lengthContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Forty-Eight”

Smoking cessation – Day 36 I’m continuing on my quest to be a long-term nonsmoker. Today is day number thirty-six and although I’m still using nicotine lozenges, I haven’t found it necessary to light up a cigarette in five weeks. I’m realizing there were distinct reasons why I chose to smoke,,,up to a pack aContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Forty-Five”
100 Days of Writing – Day Forty-Three
Continued absitenence from smoking and a close call…. Thirty-four days, six hours, thirty minutes….that’s how long it’s been since I smoked my last cigarette. Even now, over a month later, I still have cravings and urges to have “just a smoke or two.” But I know full well where that will lead,,,a place I’m notContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Forty-Three”
100 Days of Writing – Day Thirty-Seven
There was a time in my life, over twenty years ago now, when I was going through a particularly difficult time in my life. I was struggling with a lot of life changes and wasn’t really sure what to do with my meandering thoughts and ample extra time. One Friday night, I went to theContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Thirty-Seven”
100 Days of Writing – Day Thirty-Six
