As awkward as this feels, here goes.
I am…Cathy. Wife. Mom. Mom-in-law. Grammy. Writer. Blogger. Office supply junkie.
I want…McDonald’s Frappes to register as a big fat “O” on the Weight Watchers point system. If I can’t have that, I’d like this perched on the side of a mountain.
I have…Barnabas (son of encouragement) for a hubby. He supports my staying home to pursue writing opps, encouraging me at every turn. Add two amazing sons, beautiful daughter-in-law’s (inside & out), and an adorable granddaughter (with a grandson on the way!) Thank You , Jesus!
I wish…home organization came easier for me.
I hate… how fear doesn’t stay put. Give it an inch, it takes a mile, invading more space than you ever desired or thought possible.
I fear… being misunderstood, a world without coffee, snakes, highway travel.
I hear…the humming of our A/C (thankful alert!), a snoring Lhasa Apso, and the sweet rhythm of silence.
I search…for vintage poetry books, sea glass, ideas, ways to spend time with family and friends.
I wonder…what plans God has for Piper, our granddaughter, and if our future grandson is born, or waiting for Brandon and Megan’s arrival in Uganda. They should find out more details soon.
I regret…past decisions, but refuse to dwell on them. Jesus paid too high of a price for me to wallow in the sea of regret. He has cleansed me, therefore, I am clean.
Care to join in the fun? Let me know if you take Allison up on her invitation. I’d love to get to know you more!
Cathy, I love your list! If only all flavored coffee drinks registered 0 on any weight management plan! LOL It was fun getting to know some new things about you. Oh and if you build one of those Tumbleweed houses, you have to invite me over to tea. 🙂
True! True! And now Dunkin D has come out with an Oreo Coolatta. What's a girl to do? ha! You can count on that invite for tea at the Tumbleweed house, if it's built. I'm still dreaming!
Thanks for giving us a peek into your life, mind, and heart. I love you!
Thank you for taking the time to read it, Vonda. I love you too!
Great list…I love the line about fear not staying put. I only got to spend moments with you, dear friend, but I thought you were a mountain of strength and confidence and fearlessness. A beautiful soul, too. Thanks for letting us "see" you here.
I love those, Cathy — Thanks for sharing!! What a fun idea, and it made me think about what I'd share. I know one thing: I'm with you on the snakes 🙂
Thank you Deb and Susan. 🙂
