Journeying

Anyone who knows me at all will verify the fact that I am not a morning person.  Not even close to a morning person.  I deeply treasure the serenity that evening brings.  The quiet and stillness is breath taking.  It's truly when I feel most energized.  I do recognize the fact that many people feel that same way about morning... I'm just not one of them. Yet, there I was wide awake at 3:45 am.  Now if I'm awake at that time it's usually because I haven't gone to bed yet.  Usually.  I went to bed at 10:30 after a long but productive day yesterday and fell asleep in a relatively quick manner.  So I simply asked "Lord, why am I awake?"  An image came to mind immediately, it was Lulu. In case you don't know me personally I should explain that I live on a dairy farm.  Lulu is a cow.  She's a good sized Brown Swiss that stands in the third stall down from the upper end on the right side of the barn.  And Lulu is due to deliver a...

Good evening!    I've been wanting to write a new blog entry since Wednesday so I apologize for the tardiness.  My hope is to blog once a week. In regards to the goals I mentioned previously- Saving money week two? Check.  Bible reading schedule on track? Check.  Chapter writing?  I haven't written new material but I have changed and edited some previously penned prose.  Song composition? Fail-haven't written a note.  Tough mudder training?  I have lost some weight, but that's not near enough-which leads me to a topic I've been focusing on this week. Emotional Eating I admit it freely-I'm an eater.  Food, glorious food in all it's textures and colors and smells and tastes and sounds is amazing in a word.  In your mind's eye picture a plate of freshly crisped bacon.  Just picture it.   You can't do it can you?   The sense memory you have allows you to smell it, see it, taste it on your tongue, feel the texture of ...

I'm not sure why, but I feel it's time to try this blogging thing again.  I wrote one a few years back, but  felt uncertain anyone but me was reading.  So... I begin anew.      Personally I don't care for new beginnings.  More often I feel it's because new beginnings often mean something previous has ended.  I don't like endings at all.  As January 2014 starts we all focus on our "New Year's Resolutions."  But these are goals we most often never follow through.  I believe as a society we are at a point where we fear accomplishing our goals because then it's over.  The race is run; the dream achieved; the game won.  And when that happens we end up empty.  We forget to forge anew, train for new races, dream bigger dreams, and play a new game.      But like I said, I don't like things being over and finished.  Therefore, it's time to break my comfort zone.  There are things I want to accompli...
