DECREASE

 

I’d certainly be quite pleased if when I got on the scale, that number decreased.

food for thought: What would you like to decrease in your life?

Happy Birthday Sioux!

I just love Sioux’s sass and spunk. You’ll get the idea when you check out her blog, Sioux’s Pages. She also cracks me up. She makes me want to add more humor to my writing, but I can’t do it like she can. Sioux keeps me in line at our critique meetings… that of which I’m totally grateful for. Sioux has a most generous heart and I’m blessed to be her friend.

INCREASE

There are many ways in which we can increase our knowledge. How do you increase your knowledge?

Happy Birthday Linda! Happy Birthday Cale!

Happy Birthday Linda!

You can get an idea of what Linda is all about by taking a look at her blog, Write From the Heart. I meant to write Queen Chic on her cake because she is published in so many Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I’m sure she is one of the top peeps in the CS books. But that’s not all she’s published in. Check out the side bar on her blog and you’ll be just amazed as I am. Not only that, she’s sweet, generous, fun and all round great person. I’m glad to be her friend.

Happy Birthday Cale!

Cale is my great nephew. I think he’s 20 today. I don’t get to see him often, but every time I do, he’s grown… and by golly, he’s an adult now... well he has been. I just dusted off a picture of him and his siblings and he was about five, so I tend to always think of them as really young. I think it's time for an updated photo. Cale is a good looking and sweet young man. I had to cheat and find out from his grandma what to put on his cake… she didn’t say race car, but it was easier to draw than a regular car… well for me anyway.

INFERIORITY

Inferiority is more relatable to me than yesterday’s word. Play second fiddle, take a back seat, not fit to hold a candle to.

SUPERIORITY

I’m amazed at the many definitions of superiority, but I like the slang version: beat the band or take the cake. The word superiority has an air about it so I prefer “reach a new high.” Isn’t that what we try and do in life in bettering ourselves?

food for thought: In what ways have you reached a new high?

SMALLNESS

 I have two printer drawers which I have tiny things in their slots. I’m always on the look out for small-ness. During a sheep festival that my daughter and sister attended, I received this tiny sheep. It represents smallness.

food for thought: What’s the smallest thing you have?
