  Remember a Bug’s Life? Well explore this bug’s life with me.    I am certain it will be a discovery for you, too.  I am really working on taking my time, and this is another reminder to take my time, especially when I am not wearing my glasses. I saw a dob on the floor and thought to myself that is a dirt dob.    I    immediately wondered who brought it in.   On a visit Stella remarked, “Your dogs can go everywhere here.”    The bathroom is the one place Hank and Dixie knew they weren’t going to be allowed to step into.    Hank knows he still can, and Dixie knows she is not supposed to.    Therefore, our closet is the only room Hank and Dixie should not go into.    Dixie has been in our closet more than Hank.   It is all because the tile floor I wanted but knew I shouldn’t choose based on the scale of maintenance, it is high, I chose.    Every hexagon is surrounded by grout....

Gripe.

The movie where people are so dense, their garbage receptacle is their own home, did you ever view it?   I cannot believe someone could be this dense unintentionally. I bet myself the driver just got 120 likes on his social media post and felt like he was a hotshot.  Could have easily been a dense woman, too.  All I know is dense person. Remember the movie Hotshots?  Matt replayed it for us one night. It is good goofy humor.   Well, just off the intersection of a major highway and a major road, I am driving in the most left hand driving lane.  We begin to slow down.  I think to myself, the car slowing me down must need to turn into this shopping strip, but there’s a car in the turning lane blocking the turn into the driveway.  I give the driver grace.  And then it stops (right beside the car in the turning lane.  The driver signaling and waiting in the turning lane for her turn to turn was my reflection.  She looked confused looking...

Crush.

Never have I ever had a crush on a priest.  #takeasip   https://youtu.be/CdlS3WSXzgU

Present.

I started a 54 Day Rosary Novena on May 8.  It does take mental stamina, but I am not aware of that because I have been working on this muscle devotedly since 2019.   I started praying the Rosary while I am in movement, and it has become my favorite way.  It is not just any movement, though.  I have set an intention in the movement.  It is in movement of me taking care.  I especially like to pray it when I am moving in my routine of taking care of myself.  It gives me momentum.  I am good at ideas for my routine, but I am aware of my energy in my routine.   I was resting beside someone I never thought I would be resting beside, though, it felt like what concrete sense feels like to me #Godsglory, and I gave myself a pat on the back for the hard work I have been keeping up.  I spoke something about what I think makes a good routine good, and I think it is being aware you didn’t do something and be okay you didn’t do it and pick it back up...

That.

I did not like writing speeches, but I did like presenting my speeches in Speech.   Mr. Hodde was tough and positively critical.  If he gave you a grade you felt you didn’t deserve, you understood why.  He gave that attention to all of his students, even if he knew his student was not trying in his class.  I miss the days as a student at Victoria College; they were so good.  Matt even made a friend in one of the instructors.  He went to Victoria College in the summer when he was home from University.  We had an Economics class together, and Matt and Mr. Hayden got along.  Mr. Hayden wore a helmet riding his moped.  Just Mr. Hayden’s personality made Economics I and II interesting.  Economics is one of the only textbooks I remember, it was a green that looked Christmas tree- and money- green.  It wasn’t too thick either.   Mr. Hayden also wrote Matt a letter of recommendation for the internship that kickstarted Matt’s lucky brea...

Wrong.

 (June 11, 2022 I have gotten closer to friendship as I have gotten older.) (June 15, 2022 Strangely, I have also grown apart from friendship as I have gotten older.  I think the “closer” part of it is, I have become closer to myself in my own friendship with me.  I have always been my own best friend, I have just made effort in my choice to disconnect myself from the world, carve out- and take- time to get to know myself.  My sisters feel like the kind of friend I am to myself, too.  Matt is my first best friend apart from me and my sisters.  Mom and Dad have always been my parents only; they took that responsibility seriously (and that is how Mom and Dad were our friends June 16, 2022.  My most accurate friend, so accurate he can anticipate my needs all on his own- that reflects to me how yoked I am to Jesus- told me your family sounds like y’all are friends.  I agreed.  That is how big the responsibility of my friendship to someone outside...
