Goals and Finally Being DONE {FMF}

Jay recently started a new strategy to work toward a healthy life, and I’m trying to draw inspiration from his progress. He gets embarrassed when I share, but I’m so proud of him – how he dropped a bad habit and replaced it with a healthy one all in the course of a week – I struggle to stay silent.

Rewarded for Boldness – If {FMF}

As a kid, I never realized my parents took us on vacations to Myrtle Beach to travel on the cheap.

I have strong opinions on the songs, and always listen to the lyrics. If the words are less than, I tend to disregard a good beat.

Papaw Update (Sorta Kinda Five Minute Friday)

Today’s Five Minute Friday prompt is the word “Secret.” What follows only loosely relates. I neither want to dwell on Papaw’s situation, nor over share, so perhaps 5 minutes of free writing is the perfect solution to prevent both.

Include

I’m writing this on Saturday, but will still tackle the Five Minute Friday prompt. As always, bloggers take a few moments out of their weekend to share their perspective on a a single word.

Trying to Adapt

Once again this week I’m joining the Five Minute Friday gang. This week we’re free writing for – you guessed it, 5 minutes, on the word “adapt.”

Back to Basics

In case you haven’t noticed, things have been quiet around here lately. I found myself focused more on blogging and less on actually writing.
