indecisive

I feel like I am swinging wildly between extremes and can't make any decisions.
Yes or No
Black or White
Now or Never

No gray area.
Just extremes.
Like a pendulum that passes through the middle quickly to one side only to be relentlessly pulled back to the opposite never finding rest at one or the other, or even the middle.

I just don't know....I think I'll continue to walk in the middle of the road.

Needs a time out...

A week in review...

Missing all my Marbles Monday...
Tough as Nails Tuesday
Wishing I Was Anywhere Else Wednesday
Thumping Head Against Wall Thursday
Falling Face First Friday.

Good heavens will the light that the end of that tunnel NEVER COME?!?

Ode to the Letter F

And the letter for the day is F. F as in Frustrated. I'll borrow a few verses from Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" for the anthem of today:

"I should have walked but I never had the chance
Everything got out of hand and I let it slide

Now I only have myself to blame
For falling for your stupid games
I wish my life could be the way
It was before I saw your face

You stole my happy, you made me cry
took me for a ride
And I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it
I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it


Now you only have yourself to blame
For playing all those stupid games
You’re always gonna be the same and,
Oh no, you’ll never change

You stole my happy, you made me cry
And I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it
I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it

I need you gone so fast
You stole my happy, you made me cry
I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-undo it"

seventy-two and I'm over it.

72.

72 Pencils. That's a lot of pencils.
72 Balloons. That's a lot of balloons.
72 Skittles. That's a lot of skittles.

72 days. That's a LOT of days to put up with this nonsense.

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!

"Sin has lost its power
Death has lost its sting
From the grave You've risen
Victoriously!
Into marvelous light I'm running
Out of darkness, out of shame
By the cross You are the truth,
You are the light You are the way"
--Marvelous Light by, Charlie Hall

Perspective

Remembering what's important...how much do you remember? Take this quiz:

No pen or paper required. You can do this one in your head:

Here’s the first set of questions:

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world today.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners. Too tough? Then name the ten gold-medal winners from the recent Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

3. Name the winners of the Miss America pageant for the past five years.

4. Name ten people who have won either the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize (Okay, just name five! How about three?)

5. Name the last decade’s World Series winners. Or if that’s too tough, name the most valuable players for the last five World Series games.

My guess is you didn’t too well. Despite their renown, fame, and achievements, well-known award lose their luster, and the memories of who won them quickly fade.

Now let’s try a second part of the quiz:

1. Name two teachers who made a difference in your life.

2. Name three friends who were there for you during a difficult time.

3. Name a mentor or two who believed in you and thought of you as someone worthwhile.

4. Name five people you enjoy spending and evening with just because they’re fun to be with and you admire them greatly.

5. Name three or four heroes, living or dead, whose lives have inspired and encouraged you.

How did you do that time? You probably got an “A.” The real difference makers in life are those significant others who have pulled up close.
