15 Day Blogger Challenge - Day 7

Talk About Your Blogging Quirks
 
 
The first, and probably most obvious, is that I’m not regular with my blog postings – although I’m working on that.
I write a lot about my family because my family is important to me and let’s face it, my own life is fairly uneventful and boring.
I do write everything out before typing it into the computer. I know a lot of people skip the pen and paper part, but to me it's therapeutic, helps me organize my thoughts, and allows me to think to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. This applies to all my writing, not just my blogging.
Even when I’m working on a piece of fiction, a lot of it is drawn from real life. I’m not that creative that I can come up with all completely imagined scenes for stories.
Besides, we all know that real life is truly better than fiction anyways, right?

    I write about my family too, but I find is write a great deal about nature as well since that is where I am most at peace and open to God's voice. I seldom use paper and pen because half the time, I can't read my own handwriting later.

    I do use paper and pen because I can take it with me wherever I go - especially out in nature. I wrote something the other day and couldn't read my writing! I was mad because I'm sure whatever I wrote was good! Bummer!

Monday Meditations - Ambivilence

Ambivalence Oh, how this word defines us as humans! We are ambivalent about so many things. We are wishy-washy. We can't seem to make up our minds about anything. Just look at a woman's bedroom after she has gotten dressed. The pile of clothes on the bed tells us that dress is the wrong color, that one is uncomfortable, today's the wrong mood for that one, that one isn't appropriate for the situation, that one doesn't fit anymore… I've known women that can't make up their minds about who they want to date. Some can't make up their minds about which women they truly want to be friends with. College students enter the university with one major and come out with another, yet work in a completely different third field. Couples get married only to find out shortly after the wedding that marriage (or the person they chose in the first place) isn't really right for them I could go on with examples of how we have mixed feelings, unc

Monday Meditations - Valuable

Valuable Sometimes as a mom it's hard to feel valuable. It's often a thankless job. Nobody sees even half of what you do. Work is often paid for with a screaming baby, a temper tantrum throwing toddler, a temperamental teenager, and a husband who just wants his dinner. I once read an article that said stay-at-home moms "should" be earning $162,581 a year. Where are my mom friends who see that in their bank account? You know something? Our mom value is not in money. Being a mom is the highest calling God gave to women, not climbing the corporate ladder. I am not dissing moms who work outside the home. Each one has to make choices as to what is best for her family. This is for all those who choose to stay at home, those who sometimes feel value less. Our value was in the little lives you are molding each day. Your payment is all the sticky, syrupy kisses and the I love yous from the lips of those to whom you gave life. Our value is raising ch
