Hello followers,
It is time to start Monday!
Are you ready?
In the blink of an eye another day is gone.
In the blink of an eye another week is gone.
In the blink of an eye another month is gone.
In the blink of an eye another year is gone.
And in the blink of an eye, I will be gone too, and not just me but also you.
So maybe we should be wishing' and hoping'.
That we could just keep our eyes open and see and appreciate all that we can see.
And learn how we can be, the best that we can be before it is too late.
Time flies, so let us not wait.
Whether we have just one life or many, one thing is true, we should try to enjoy every moment we can; it is the wisest thing to do.
Time to continue the Christmas story of 1981.
Yesterday Dan and I ended up at the diner, and Dan would tell me that they have the best blueberry pancakes.
So, that is what we ended up having.
Yummy!
However, time seemed like it was going very slowly, and we could not continue to stay there.
As I went to the restroom, I noticed a pay phone; you know back in those days there were no cell phones.
Was able to call a motel that was in the area to see if there were any rooms available, it so happens there were, but they wanted $75.00 for even just four hours
Disgusted with Dan and decided that that was the best thing for us.
But now how would we get there!
There was two middle-aged women that looked like they were having fun, laughing, and having a good old time.
When Dan went to the rest room, I asked if they could take us up the road when they leave.
I must have been brave or stupid, but they said yes.
I was willing to give them money for the service, but they refused and gave it back.
Time to relax, now at the motel and tomorrow will be another adventurous day.
The hotel was another story by itself.
The heater there did not work right so we had to turn on the hot water and run it in the bathroom to make hot steam to heat up the room so much we could hardly see each other through the steamy fog, wow what a place for 4 hours and $75.00.
We will continue the next step of our journey tomorrow,
How does one define the word story?
Long, short, funny, or serious?
Dark, inspirational, or possibly captivating?
Each person has his or her own unique story to tell.
Stories are never-ending journeys,
hidden talents or suppressed memories, all waiting to be told.
We all have a distinct definition of a story, so why not share yours?
THE WORD OF THE DAY-NARRATIVE
Narratives hold immense power.
They shape our understanding of the world, inspire change, and connect us.
Remember, narratives shape our reality, and through them, we find meaning, empathy, and transformation.
Imagine life as a giant classroom where every day brings a new lesson.
Each experience, whether good or bad, teaches us something valuable.
By living through these moments, we gain wisdom and understanding, helping us grow and become better versions of ourselves.
Embrace each lesson with an open heart.
Imagine the freedom of creating your own path instead of waiting for opportunities that never come.
It reminds us that we have the power to shape our future and achieve our dreams.
Standing firm in our choices leads to a strong and fulfilling life.
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

THINK OF THE BIGGER PICTURE

The bigger picture is easy to miss in the shuffle.
