2022 is the Year!

My resolution for 2022 is to get better at memorizing and reciting Bible verses. I chose this resolution because it might come in handy for conflicts in the future. For example, if someone is in a fight or lost, reciting a Bible verse might help save the day. A Bible verse could also cheer someone up or cheer yourself up. … One way I can work on my resolution is to set a goal that every other day I study at least five verses for ten minutes. If I do this process throughout the year I guarantee I will know more Bible verses than I did before.

What About The Paper Palace?

Baby, it’s cold outside! I guess that all depends on what day you are reading this, as we could be experiencing a wintry mix or, instead, be outside soaking up that January sun. Either way, are we the only family still blaring Christmas music? I’m hopeful the tunes streaming from our Alexa will summon mother nature to get cold and stay cold for a minute.

For the Love of Books

I love to read. I always have. I love to read so much that I actually remember learning how to read. Mrs. Jan Cure Clayton was my first-grade teacher, and she was also my Daddy’s first cousin. (In Atlanta, Texas, it is a real possibility that you are going to be related to one of your teachers along the way.) Anyway, I can remember the other first graders in my reading group and how Mrs. Jan would stand at the board teaching us phonics. It opened a whole new world for me.

2022 is the Year!

Goodness gracious! It’s already the New Year! Do you have a New Year’s resolution? Well, I do. My resolution is to improve my level 7 gymnastics routines. That will help me be more confident in competitions. If I am confident, competitions will be a piece of cake! … To perfect my routines, I will not count them if I fall on the beam. I will run really fast and explode off the vault table, and I will make sure my body line and my knees are as straight as a board when I swing bars. When I do my dance, I will make my motions bigger and use more expression.

My Human

“Are you a cat person or a dog person?” I’m pretty sure I’ve been asked this question countless times during my lifetime, even more so since finding myself back in the world of dating over ten years ago. However, never once have I been asked if I was a raccoon person. Little did I know that back in April of 2020, a raccoon had chosen me to be her “human.” It was at this moment, my face became a permanent imprint on Rocky (my unbeknownst-to-me pet).

2022 is the Year!

“Kate, do you need some help with that?” I asked. One of my resolutions for 2022 is to excel in being a better big sister.

Here are a few ways I’m going to try and accomplish this. … One way I’m going to help Kate more often is by helping her with her chores. When it’s her night to do the dishes, I can help her load them.

Hidden in Plain Sight

M y six-year-old loves to play hide and seek. I was never a fan of the game as a child because I despised the heart-racing feeling of wondering if they would find me in my dark hiding place. Maybe it was because I have never liked feeling anxious or out of control. I preferred being the seeker in the light rather than the one silently waiting alone in the dark. As an adult, however, when life is no longer a game and after having lived through heartaches and life experiences that have brought me to my knees, I now recognize my default mode is hiding.
