YOUR THOUGHTS--What do you do when you're having an off day?

The other day (I can't even remember which day) I didn't have such a good day. Typically my go-to reaction to days like this is food, or maybe a good workout or scripture study, but if that doesn't work, I write.

Like there's no tomorrow. But, there's always a tomorrow.

This is what I wrote the other day. See if you relate to it! If not, comment below: what do you do when you are having a crummy day?

About Grandma :)

Like you, I was born.  And so was my Mom.  Meaning that I have a Grandma---Grandma Julie, to be exact. 

It was her birthday the other day, and I thought I'd share what I wrote about her with you--with a few pictures added for fun. See if you can find any similarities with your Grandma!

Post-Sleep Musings and Majestic Lions?

I just got up. 

You know, when life gives you troubles, sleep in. But not too much, or you'll really regret it. Remember the Waking Up Face? Yeah. Too late for me, I'm afraid.

But there's more, actually.

YOUR THOUGHTS--What is Altruism, and does it exist?

Hi, uh, is this thing on? Sorry. So sorry. 

So my girlfriend and I had a talk last night...about this blog. What it's about, why I'm doing it, what I hope happens with it, etc. I hope she wasn't thinking that I'm trying to replace her with it. And now I'm wondering if she's going to read this...maybe we're going to be talking again soon...anyway.

This blog started with the intent to sharpen my skills as a writer, contribute something honest and thought-provoking to those who read it, and also foster an atmosphere of open, non-judgmental conversation between friends, colleagues, or even internet acquaintances.

I repeat: I WANT TO HEAR YOUR STUFF. TELL ME YOUR STUFF.

The Waking Up Face

We're always trying to be "attractive", you and I. Look good, feel good, say clever stuff. Get others to like us.

I'm pretty sure that if someone saw my post-waking-yawning-strain face, any chance I might have had would be gone. 'Tis not pretty.

That's pretty much all I wanted to write about that. Have a nice day.

So, I discovered the benefits of writing some time ago, and tricked myself into believing that I was okay at it.

Haha. What a load of crap. Read more if you're bored. Or if you want to be surprised...or if you'd like A NEW CAR!!! Actually, I might keep reading if that were true...
