So, I spent the better part of this wintry morning fighting with my computer, trying to create, what I thought, would be a better & more professional-looking blogspot. Joke's on me because here I am right back where I started. Watch for a new look, coming your way soon. I will hire the professionals to get the job done.
Lately, I have returned to some of my old habits...some of the better ones, in fact. I have been taking a little time for myself, exercising more & spending some time reading this book each day. I have even been writing & journalling some of my thoughts. This was the conduit in trying to establish a new site. I thought Regoneverything was a bit too broad spectrum for where I wanted to go with this little experiment. I even created a new website called, 'So This Happened Today' to share some of my insights. However, it was so antiquated, to complete a post, I ended up right back here where I can type away with simplicity.
When I returned to a more regular cycle of taking some devotional time, in the mornings, I picked up this Bible to accompany my journey. Maybe because I unearthed it in the throws of packing, maybe because it was my Mom's & there is something so comforting about that or possibly because of the large-print format. The large print is laxative to my ever deteriorating close-range vision.
It is not a version I am used to (The Living Bible paraphrased.) I find small segments of old stories coming off the page to me. I am intrigued by the markings left by my mother & I have a deep longing to ask her about all of them. Markings, so sadly, left for my own interpretation now... But, it is the words from this old book & the devotional leadings of Shauna Niequist that have inspired me to share some of my daily thoughts & queries.
I hope to season my ramblings with a little humor, refresh you with transparency, & inspire you with the divine. I want to leave you with an honest recording of my daily insights. I have long kept this idea filling the pages of journals, in fear. Fear of telling a story that would offend someone in doing so. Someone, who innocently walked into my life & suddenly became part of the page, not unlike a past -lover in a Taylor Swift song. I feel braver now & confident enough to weave my own words of sincerity & not directly link those I encounter!
Welcome to ... So This Happened Today ... !!
