Alone With My Thoughts:
Yup. Sometimes I’m alone with my thoughts. That’s not always a bad thing. I have a lot to think about. Or often I have nothing to think about and my mind just wanders. And sometimes…. Well, sometimes it’s the same thing…. So, just the other day, I was driving and not listening to any music … Continue reading Alone With My Thoughts:
I have questions.

The Little Kernel That Could
So ……. (Don’t you hate it when my posts start that way)? I’m popping popcorn and as I’m watching it spin around, I had a few thoughts. We have one of those countertop popping machines, oh yeah, we fancy here in Sumstine-land. I’m not sure if I feel badly for that kernel that didn’t pop, … Continue reading The Little Kernel That Could
