Movie Quote Monday – Apollo 13

Little in this world is impossible.  You simply choose…and then work to make what you want happen.

I had a premonition that the house was going to burn down in the night.

Blogging is my Life Coach

Last Friday, I wrote about how disappointed I was with myself for some bad behavior, and that post has been on my mind all week.  Which is not a bad thing.  I want to change my behavior, so it’s kind of important that I put some focus on it.  As I was thinking about all this, it occurred to me that were it not for this blog, I probably would have abandoned my pursuit of Thankful long ago.

That’s not an astounding revelation, it’s simply a matter of accountability.  Still, this was not one of the expectations I had when I started blogging six months ago.  Other than working on my writing skills, I certainly had no idea of using my blog as a means of self-improvement.  But then, I had no calculated intentions of divulging anything as personal as I find myself sometimes doing.  Who knew a blog could be such a good listener?  It coaxes things out of me that I didn’t know I needed to talk about.  And then it gives me excellent advice.

Wow.  Blogging is my Life Coach. continue reading…

Okay, I’m not going to go into all the boring talk today, but mostly just share some photos.  With boring captions. continue reading…
