because life has been a wee bit too serious lately

This is the face I always make when someone points a camera in my direction. It's true. Ask anybody. It makes me miss my little brother. He makes the same face.

It's also an honesty photo. This is how I look most days. A little bloodshot. No makeup. In need of a pluck. But boy, do I rock those beads.

Have a day today that makes you laugh.

what i am going to do today

Today I will see beauty, no matter what.

what I do for fun

how to be alone

Once a week I leave home for my "alone time". Because I'm an introvert, I only thrive when I can occasionally be alone to process my thoughts and to not talk or interact with people. I return to my babies and my husband vigorously recharged.

If I don't get my weekly alone time, by Wednesday I am cranky and bristly.

One way to know if you're an introvert or an extrovert is the following:

If you are feeling tired and stressed...which would you want to do more?
a) Go to a party with friends and laugh and talk all night.
b) Go to a library and take notes on what you read.

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, CLOTHE yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. - Colossians 3:12



You know. Because of the beautiful people I live with whom I was unkind to today.
