Thinking of ?

What to write on my blog? Trying to think of something inspriring, witty, interesting, worth a read. As I sit here with my morning coffee why is hard to find something interesting. It started out like every monday morning, the alarm goes off, get up make the coffee and start breakfast for my husband, feed the animals turn the news on sip coffee chat with hubby befor he has to leave for work. The weather man tells us more heat and humidity for the rest of the week with possible rain. How do you get in the mood for Fall when it feels so tropcal? I went grocery shopping yesterday , it was very humid, by the time I got in the store I was nearly ring and wet and not from my morning shower but from the humidity. I walk in the store and what do I see to the left of me? Frosty the snowman and Santa on display. The grocery store is selling Christmas cards and Christmas decor and farther down the row is all halloween stuff. That is normal the stores always get a jump start on the seasons, but I felt like I was being rushed to enjoy my season. Let me slowly take in the pumpkins, gourds, Fall colors of Halloween decorations not to mention the rows and rows of halloween candy. Then my eys skip to the red,s and green,s of The Christmas things. I don,t like to be rushed, Doesn,t life go by fast enough. Im not sure where I was going with this story? I guess coming back to this morning when the weather man was saying more heat and humidity. I want to get into the Fall spirit! I will light my pumpkin pie candles today and get the scent of apple in the air with some other candles. I will be visiting other blogs who have pretty Fall decorations to look at to better get into the mood. I may open up some of my cook books see what they have to get me in the mood for Fall. Something very inspiring I did see on the news this morning was an American GI who was wounded in the war. He came home blind. This solider, hero reached deep inside of himself for courage and strength and faith and soon he was training for the Marathon with all of our other heros who have been wounded in the war. Some were running with a limb missing others with different wounds. This Blind brave hero ran with a guide and a shoe lace tied to his guide, In the midst of all the noise of the street sounds and the marathon all around him he was able to concentrate enough to run by just following his guide, if his guide tugged alittle to the left this brave hero went left , if the guide went slightly to the right this hero followed slightly to the left. The remarkable part of the whole news piece was that the camera man said he had lost sight of this blind hero and his guide during the race because they did so well together , they so blended in with the other runners that the camera man was amazed. This was a very inspriring news piece. As I sat back down to start writing on here I glanced at my book shelf for more inspiration and seen my book on Mother Theresa Saint of the gutters. Who would not be inspired by her ? And on a lighter note I ganced at my book The red hat society Titeled Laugh lines! another book of of inspriation full of gems! So maybe this post should be called, Thinking of inspiration! I like that!

Good morning, Sherry! :-)

It's not particularly Fall-like here in Arkansas either. It's still hot and muggy, but it's supposed to cool down to 70's for highs and 50's for lows over the next few days. I'm ready for cool/cold weather!

I'm drinking my morning coffee and already have some chicken breasts simmering for hot chicken salad and some white beans cooking with some salt meat (salt pork). Don't know yet what else I may cook to round out the meal. 2 of my sisters will be here to eat lunch and spend the afternoon with me and my hubby.

Hope you have a great day! :-)

Hugs,

Diane

Sherry, you might try typing your 100 Things directly onto Wordpad or into your computer's word processor or office program and then copying and pasting it into your blog.

Anything like that that I've spent a lot of time on or that is really important to me I always type it first on my Wordpad then transfer it to Blogger. That way if something goes wrong I still have it saved to my computer and can start over.
