Friday

It's a beautiful windy day in Hewitt Texas! Spring break is next week for us so both my kids have been struck with SPRING FEVER! We have lots of options , but still are not sure what all we are doing next week.

I am in one of those unbloggable times right now. It seems the more people that read this blog, the less there is for me to blog about. But here are some pretty safe things, I think. These are quotes that inspired me this week.

Curiosity is a stronger force than gravity. If it weren't, there wouldn't be airplanes.

Curiosity is more important than knowledge, it is the root of knowledge . Without it there wouldn't be any such thing as knowledge. Most importantly, curiosity is the dynamic force behind creativity. Without creativity, mankind would still be living in caves. Creativity is what sets mankind above other life-forms. It is believed that God , the creator, made man in his image. If this is so, man in the image of God must be creative. From The Gift of Dyslexia by Ron Davis.


After I was fired, I asked God why have you put this huge burden on me? .. In that moment I realized he had not put a burden on me, he had instead lifted the burden of a dead-end job and released me from the thing that was holding me down and preventing me from going and doing what I was meant to do. From Hillary Swank's mother's interview on Oprah.

"A favorite dish in Kansas is creamed corn on a stick.." Jeff Harms, actor, comedian.


A favorite dish in Texas & Tennessee is creamed corn a la blog. For those of you who don't get it, don't worry.

P.S. For two days I have not been able to comment on many of the blogs I frequent . Either the whole world has Matt Elliott syndrome ( HA HA! I had to say that Matt ~ ironically your blog is the only one I have been able to comment on :-) OR the blogwart has taken over comments,OR maybe, it is just my computer. Any who... just wanted you to know that I'm stilll blogging around, I just can't comment.

The blogwart hit me too .... but seems to be fixed now. I hear you on the unbloggable comment....I seem to be carefully censoring what I write because I know some of the people who read my blog. And tonight I found out lots of people that I didn't even know knew what a blog was, knew that I had one .... and they read it regularly! Crazy.

I have been having problems leaving comments lately too. So it is not just your computer. Hope to see you soon!

You know I have decided I don't care who reads my blog, I am just going to be myself. I hope I don't hurt any feelings or ruffle any feathers but sometimes I just have to tell it like it is.
