Day One of One-Hundred: The Journey of Life

I recently went on a hike on a trail just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. What started out as a short excursion turned out to be a five mile trek across some challenging trails. It occurred to me while I was on my journey, that life too can be that way. I was just goingContinue reading “Day One of One-Hundred: The Journey of Life”

One Hundred Days of Writing Renewal…

I have decided that I will once again be on a journey of writing blog entries for one hundred days. I did this two years ago and thought this would be a good opportunity as we prepare to begin the summer season. I will, on some days, be using the WordPress writing prompt they supplyContinue reading “One Hundred Days of Writing Renewal…”

100 Days of Writing – Day One Hundred

It’s taken me just over eleven months to get one hundred days of writing. As I look back over the ninety-nine posts, I’m reminded of on thing: impermanence. Things are always going to be changing in life and we must accept things that we don’t particularly like or understand along the path. So much hasContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day One Hundred”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Nine

I’m nearly finished with my one-hundred days of writing. I had planned on writing for consecutive days, but that didn’t work out as planned. Nevertheless, these readings will provide some valuable insight on what has transpired in my life over the past year or so. Anniversaries are usually joyous occasions, where we look back onContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Nine”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Eight

Random journal entries are interesting to read and sometimes give a new perspective on the past…These are my words from a journal that contains a wide variety of views and observations. I don’t have any particular objective with my selection of writings. Just to share what was going through my mind at the time. NovemberContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Eight”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Seven

True test of faith… I have a small plaque in my bedroom that states: “Good morning. This is God. I am going to be handling all your problems today.” As I reflect on the past year, I’m not so sure what exactly that entails. I know that I need to do my part and yes,Continue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Seven”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Six

It was June of last year that I started my one-hundred days of writing. I planned on writing every day for those days. Here we are, nearly a year later and I’m just closing in on the hundredth day. It should be interesting to read back over what I’ve written this past year. If onlyContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Six”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Five

It would seem that tests of faith abound here of late. I’ve found my beliefs to be changing in broad respects. Is it just a stage or something much larger? I’ve heard it often said that we face many tests of faith in our lives. This past year has seen more of those tests ofContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Five”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Four

Radical acceptance…radical surrender…and lessons to be learned. I’ve read a lot about the process of “letting go” and although it seems simple, it’s definitely never easy. There are so many, some say most, things that are beyond our locus of control in this world. It seems this is especially true when it comes to otherContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Four”

100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Three

The world of emotions can be like a roller coaster ride with lots of ups and downs. But as a friend reminded me today, at least I have a roller coaster. This week of spring break has been a good time to relax and get a few things done around the house. While I didn’tContinue reading “100 Days of Writing – Day Ninety-Three”
