• Knowing, Accepting, and Pointing Out My Thoughts – Thoughts from October 28 and 30, 2023

  

  October 28, 2023 “I don’t know why I did that.” I have never said this phrase unless I don’t want to admit why I’m doing something. The statement may come out of my mouth, but I always know why I do things. If I trip over something, I know why I tripped. Usually, the answer…

• Not Our Bunny or Our Holidays – Thoughts from October 21 and 22, 2023

  

  October 21, 2023 It’s time to talk about the bunny in our yard. I first saw him when I was mowing our lawn. I walked to our backyard, and I saw something hop away. Convinced that it was a hopping cat, I didn’t think too much of it. Patti asked me to look at something…

• Misunderstanding Words and Loving Vacuuming – Thoughts from October 9 and 12, 2023

  

  October 9, 2023 For many years, I have misunderstood what “tenure” meant. Much of my life, I thought it meant when a teacher reached ten years of teaching. If they lasted that long, they couldn’t fire them. Recently, I heard some talk about getting tenure after two years. I told Patti about what I thought…

• Ignoring Facts, Wearing Glasses, and Movie Cliches – Thoughts from September 9 to 16, 2023

  

  September 9, 2023 I figured out what my greatest skill is. I can listen to someone spewing facts at me and ignore them all. Facts don’t stay in my brain, so I ignore most of them. When I hear the other person express an opinion based on the facts, that’s when I listen. People who…

  August 21, 2023 Yesterday, I got a call from work, and they said I didn’t have to come in if I didn’t want to. You don’t have to beg me to take a day off, so I did. The reason they offered it was because of the hurricane warnings we had in the area. It…
