Tell It To Me Tuesday - Souls

I believe we have a soul.  I believe that when we die there is more to it than just being put into the ground and becoming food for the worms and bugs.  And part of it is the "why".  If this life is all we have, then why are we here?  I still have that question of why I'm here, but I believe that we must have a deeper purpose than just living life.  I also believe that ghosts do exist.  I have felt their presence at times.  They have made me recognize their existence.  It's spooky in a way, but comforting at the same time.  I do have my faith which believes in heaven.  I'd like to think that my grandparents and other family and friends who have passed are watching over us and looking down and smiling.  (I'm sure they shake their heads sometimes too.)  I believe our soul is part of our conscience.  It is what makes us who we are as individuals.

    I believe in all of that too. I worry sometimes that I'm wrong, but I just can't bring myself to believe that this world is it for all of us. Thanks for the deep thoughts!! :)

    I have felt, more than once, that someone who is no longer physically here is somehow present with me. It's always been a very comforting thought and feeling to me.

    I hope for these things, too. Thank you for articulating it so poignantly.

    I know ghosts exists. I've seen them. I agree with and love this post.

Tell It To Me Tuesday - A letter

...to our Nation's daughters.  That was Jade's challenge this week.  I have to admit my first reaction was that this was going to be easy, I've got three of them living under my roof.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn't want to write something fluffy or silly just for the simple fact that I have three of them under my roof. So here goes nothing. To the Beautiful Daughters of Our Nation: This world you now live in is so different from the one I grew up in.  High-end technology when I was just starting in school was a VCR.  And they were big.  A night out as a family usually meant McDonald's, and we loved it.  I love that my parents allowed me to be a child and to have fun and be silly and to have few responsibilities.  I sure had fun.  But I realize now that maybe I had it too easy.  I say this because I am constantly telling my own daughters that life isn't always easy.  That you must work and someti...

#insaneroadtrip day 17

Wow! It's amazing what happens when you sleep for 8 hours one night and 9 the next! You can cope with heat and humidity and sun and crowds and traffic. After enjoying a nice yummy breakfast (I had an omelet) we packed up the truck and headed out of Granny's place and off for the big city. We were meeting Thea at the Air & Space Museum and rode the metro in the north. The metro used to scare me, but not so much anymore. The maps are pretty too. We left T at a corner where he turned towards Starbucks to do homework and not hobble around in his boot. We went the opposite way towards l Air & Space. The last time we were there the girls didn't get to see a lot of it because we ran out of time. After a pitstop in the bathroom I spotted Thea. Yay! Roomie! The 10yo was excited to see all the Apollo stuff since she did a research paper on it at the end of the school year. I took pictures on the real camera but not with my phone so no fun pictures there. I refused to make i...

The wind is howling

Literally.  And a storm is brewing.  We are slated for up to 8 inches of snow.  (I just looked that up. And I'm not happy right now.)  I have a 14-mile run tomorrow.  Mmm. Not quite sure how that's going to work.  So tomorrow may be less crazy than originally anticipated.  I can't trudge through 14 miles of 8 inches of snow.  It shall be interesting because the storm is supposed to hit tonight and lighten up midday tomorrow and then hit again Saturday night through Sunday midday. This marathon training business is hard work.  Only time will tell what the weekend holds in the way of a run for me. So for now, I'll head out and cram as much as I can into this morning and this afternoon.  Birthday party tomorrow for the 8yo!! Let's get this show on the road!!
