Monday Musings ... time

Have you done a time audit on your schedule? You might be unsettled to see how you spend your time each day. Or you might be encouraged to see that you spend your time very wisely. It might be mixture of both... wise in some areas and silly in others. 

After some sober reflection, I know I need to eliminate some mindless television from my life.  Setting daily and weekly goals are my first steps.  

"Time is not money. Time is more valuable than money. You can always make more money when you run out of money. You can't get more time when you run out of time. If you want to succeed, value your time."

Saturday Swim ...

Friendship Friday

 Everyone needs

a friend that will call

and say, "Get dressed, 

we are going on an adventure."

While we may not be able to go on an adventure. 

Call a friend... make an appointment to share a ☕ cup of coffee or tea.

Never...

 " Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times curse and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the childcare whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky."

Today the United Nations General Assembly designated January 27 the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau as International Holocaust Remembrance Day

A life of faith

 "The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and to be lived - not always looked forward to as though the 'real' living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow."

Missing Beth

 Today, marks ten years since  my sister passed. It seems  longer than 3,650 days. I still have the desire to call her. 

I  want to touch base and test my reality to see if some of my childhood memories were real or  simply a mirage. 

I often I find myself laughing at things we used to do together. We were often partners in crime. Getting into innocent trouble. We shared our love for family, friends, flowers, cooking, good jokes, crafts, and teaching VBS.  Yeah, we had a boatload of fights, tears, and disagreements.  I even I miss those moments

I miss you. 

Friendship Friday

 "A friend is one who strengthens 

you with prayers

blesses you with love

and encourages you 

with hope."

My question... Are you that kind of friend to someone?
