SOL 31/31 - Another Challenge Fulfilled

As I think back over the month of March and all that I've written, I feel a sense of accomplishment.  This was my fifth year of slicing in this challenge.

Does it get easier? 

Do I still wonder what to write? 

Do I still wonder if anyone will read what I write?

Questions I asked at the beginning and can answer today.

Yes, yes and yes. 

I've shared about family, projects, life, weather, and Max has written.  I've sat at the computer and somehow my fingers just start typing or I've sat and wondered. 

It's been a great month and I'll continue sharing on Tuesdays,  This challenge began for me five years ago and has created a habit, a way of making me look at things differently, a way of remembering what has transpired, a way to share what's on my mind.

Thanks to all who have taken the time to read and share.  Y'all make this special.  See you next Tuesday!

    Well said Judy, well said! I think the biggest joy of writing is that I am more aware of and do look differently at things. See you Tuesday!

    I have the same questions at the beginning of the month. Since I am retired who will want to read what I write especially posted on a writing page? I appreciate all of your comments and support not only during the month, but also through the year.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

Tuesday SOL - 1/13/15 - Trying "To Do" Retired

Image
Last week was my "first" week of RETIRED.  Humm.... just what does that mean? I can't say that it felt any different.  We just got back from being out of town for 10 days, so it was catch up time.  Picking up Max, unpacking, doing laundry, cleaning up the dead lady bugs that had accumulated on the floor, grocery shopping, mail...  The list seemed endless - retired???? Then a voice mail saying my aunt was in the hospital in Florida.  Many calls trying to figure out what was happening.  Many more calls checking up on her on a daily basis.  Thinks are improving. Now this week, things are slowing down, but how do I wrap my head around being retired?  How do I stop my brain from making my mental "to do list" of things that HAVE to be accomplished?  How do I decide what I REALLY want to do as opposed to what NEEDS to be done and when?  How do I answer people when they ask "what are you going to do now that you're retired?" This is go...
