Ever feel like time is slipping away from you? The older you get, the faster time flies by. I have not been as productive lately as I’d like to be. In Stephen Covey’s time quadrant (below) I’ve spent a lot of time in Quad IV…social media, Olympics, and just general piddling around. The evidence of [...]

Luck be a lady tonight, please
The black, hairy, dearly-loved, canine that lives in our home has been having some eye trouble. Typically for this one, it’s always been the ears. That poor dog has had more ear infections than the rest of us combined. So, when her eye started looking red, I was a bit worried. I’m sparing you the grossness [...]

Black Friday with a twist
The day after Thanksgiving, aka Black Friday, is not a shopping day for the Kelleys. We have other things in mind. Starting with breakfast-which we wait for a reasonable hour for–at our favorite place, Chick-Fil-a. And since it’s been a while since I’ve posted any pictures, I thought I tell this story mostly with pics.
These [...]

Where there’s a void…
“Where there’s a void, negativity will fill it.” This is from a book called “The No Complaining Rule”. awesome book, very quick read, practical, inspiring. I definitely recommend it. When I first heard that quote, I thought instantly about it in terms of communication. When there’s a void (in communication), negativity will fill it. Lots [...]

My mind-opened up for all to see.
Balance. I’ve been praying for it, searching for it. Especially as it pertains to the way I feel about the “H” word. But is balance a good thing? It occurred to me that it’s possible for balance to be the same as compromise. I don’t like that idea.
Last month, I announced that I’m only [...]

Don’t “miss out” on the dryer sheets tip
I want to write a blog post. I’ve got some swirling around in my head right now, or at least I did earlier when I was afc (away from computer). Right now I’m going to try and type without looking at the compyter. Head is back, eyes clsed. You see, my mind is working…tired, but [...]

The Art of Judging
I’m a judger. I don’t wanna be. But as I struggle to sort out my thoughts and feelings about certain things, then finally determine a stance on a certain issue, there is always going to be another side. If I’ve reasoned rationally, then I have decided NOT to choose one side for a really good [...]

This year will be different…Yippee!!
Why do I dread the holidays? Why? Is it the extra “tasks” that make me feel overwhelmed or inadequate? Is it the way they are driven in every way by consumerism?
When I was a kid, my mom and dad made a big deal out of the holidays. All of them. Easter, Valentines Day, Christmas, Halloween. [...]

Push it, push it, to the limit, limit
I’m so tired. So, so very tired. It’s already been a crazy weekend and Saturday’s barely half over. I have 5 blog posts (5!), half-finished and no more brain power to make them make sense. I’m currently unable to move from this chair. I physically can’t move. I’ve considered calling 911 a couple of times [...]

My Eulogy-second attempt
So, what will they say about me when I’m gone? and when I say “they”, I mean my family, my friends, my kids, everyone. Wow, that’s an overwhelming thought. Maybe because they wouldn’t all say the same thing exactly.
I don’t know how to start, so I’ll just start…probably in the middle.
Cari’s not here anymore. She’s [...]
