a thought

We must work to honor the wishes of those we love - as well as we are able to for as long as we are able to.

In doing so, we honor them and ourselves.

"I love my little stud. I love my little piece of wood!" (Referring to Lawrence.) "Lawrence, you're my BFF." "You're soaked with joy!" (to Lawrence) "Mom, I bet it took a long time to build this whole wide world... and all of Ridge Road!" "Did you know that octopuses have lots of arms so they can read lots of books at the same time?" "I AM hustling! I'm doing the slowest walk that I can!" "I have to go to the bathroom, but I just went. How is that even possible?!" "The drain is nowhere to be seen!" (in the cabin bathroom)! "Hi, Kansas! I haven't seen you in a while. Kansas is even better!" "Oh my sweet ad building!" "I haven't watched Thomas in like five years!" "It feels like hot sauce out here."

SOL: Caught

Image
Every once in a while, I try to take a purposeful break from blogging, for a day or a week or an indeterminate amount of time. Sometimes it's to focus on other things. Sometimes it's simply to get work done. But mostly, it's because I get caught. I catch myself checking my blog "stats" to see how many people are reading. I catch myself wishing I had more followers... after all, "they" have 20, and I only have 11. I catch myself coveting more comments from readers. So when I catch myself, I try to make myself take a break. (I don't always listen.) Because I don't blog for the attention (although I have to admit it's been a nice side effect).

Give away!

Image
Well, faithful blog readers, I've decided it's time. Time for a give away. I've mentioned a few times before that I am getting carried away with this headband stuff. You'd think I was stocking an etsy store or something. (Which I'm not. I'd have to think of a name that doesn't suck. I'm not creative like that. And I'd have to ship things in a timely manner... my sister's birthday present (from August 31st) is still on my piano. I gave my other sister her present last Tuesday when I saw her in person. My name is Megan, and I have  a problem with getting to the post office.) So I need to give some away. To win a headband of your choice (I will post a picture with all the options when I announce the winner), comment on this post by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 21... tell me how you found my blog or ask me a question or tell me a random fact. For an additional entry, "follow" my blog publicly by clicking the "join thi...
