Water Wins
In the absence of social media, I have a lot more random thoughts. Some of these thoughts stay with me and I ruminate on them. Others just float in and out of my head as fast as a leaf in high winds. One of the thoughts that I ruminated on was a silly idea. I’m…

What Is A Hobby?
As I’ve recently mentioned, I’ve been going through Annie F. Downs’s book, Chase The Fun and have been learning (or maybe relearning) what “fun” is. When I recently mentioned some of the things I’ve been doing that are and always have been fun to me (mainly reading and doing puzzles), multiple people decried those things…

2 Trips In 3 Weeks
This past weekend was my grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Since a surprise party fell through (mainly because money is a thing), my mom and I decided to give them our own surprise and make one of the shortest trips we’ve ever done to see them. Thankfully we spent as much time with them as we…

Just Keep Driving
As is usually the case at the very beginning of the month, I was busy every day of the week last week and didn’t remember I was supposed to post something until last night (Sunday)… and that’s a full 24 hours after the time I want to post. Of course, going on a trip, coming…

Road Trip Time
Somehow by the grace of God, I remembered that I needed to do a post for this week. Above are some of the pictures from this weekend. We still have one more day of the convention and then a travel day, but I doubt many of those events will have pictures. This week was the…

Four Weeks Down, Eternity To Go
This week, I’m going out of town with a few friends, so I’m technically in the middle of trying to get my room ready… I’m already packed… that’s like packing for pet-sitting and I can do that literally in my sleep. It’s been almost exactly a month since I deleted the socials from my life.…

Rekindled Passion
The past couple of nights I’ve been using my “evening energy peak” to work on fixing an old story that’s something I probably should’ve written long ago and I realized I’ve really enjoyed using my evening peak for that. So I’ve basically found a hobby that’s not watching TV or wishing I still had social…

Three Weeks?!
Two things occurred to me about 20 minutes ago:– I forgot to post a blog yesterday– It’s been 3 weeks since I deleted social media I legitimately forget everyone else can see what other people are doing with their lives until something comes up in conversation. For example, someone made a reference to my hair…

A New Beginning
Today is my “check-in” day, where I tell you all about how I’m doing. After Wednesday night’s post, here’s what I learned about myself: I grieve differently over the loss of social media than I do over the loss of my father. I’ve heard it said that every loss is different, but even before I…

There Will Be Ramblings
I had no intention of writing tonight. I also had no intention of going to my church’s young adult gathering either. This is what happens when you allow yourself to be led by the Spirit. For the learned folks, you’ll recall that when Jesus was “led by the Spirit” into the wilderness for 40 days,…
