Move Over Wiggles

Move over Wiggles! which was too early for my little kids' time. Move over Wee Sing! which I could never stand.
Move over SugarBeats! which was by far my favorite little kids music...
Move over everyone and listen to Go Fish!

Is Time On My Side?

Mick Jagger coined the phrase, "I've got Time on my side"...sing along now....

My friend recently posted a blog on her New Year's resolution which isn't really a resolution so much as it is a decision. Her resolution has to do with Time.

Another friend posted on her Facebook notes an article entitled, Juggling Life with personal tips explaining how she spins her plates efficiently making the most of her Time.

On the wall of Catey's Room where I slept on vacation was a quote from Maya Angelou:

Time is an invaluable gift
It is wise to cherish it carefully
and give it away generously

Isn't it obvious? How can I not have Time on my mind? I've also had the luxury of being on vacation which affords lots of TIME to think about such things.

1 Corinthians 6:12 reads: Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible but I will not be mastered by anything.

2 Corinthians 9:7 reads: So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity, not reluctantly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver

Psalm 119:37 reads: Turn my eyes away from worthless things...

Do you spend your time in beneficial ways? Do you give your time freely, not under compulsion but cheerfully? Do you spend time wisely or do you find yourself wasteful? Do your choices master you or do you master your choices? Is Time on your side or has it become your enemy?

What does Time mean to you?

BEing on Vacation

BEing on vacation is Complicated Simplicity. Complicated because you have to think about what you really need to get by and Simple, because you have so little to get by with.

BEing on vacation is Unfamiliar Familiarity. Unfamiliar because you are not in your home or bed, yet Familiar because you live each day with those you love the most.

BEing on vacation is BitterSweet. Bitter because you have to go home, but Sweet because you have a home to go to.

BEing on vacation is Spontaneous Planning. Spontaneous because something better may come along at any minute and Planned because without some planning, no one would eat or sleep at all.

BEing on vacation is Agitated Peacefulness. Agitated because there are so many things you want to do or see and Peaceful because one way or another you make it a goal to enjoy every activity.

BEing on vacation is the Same as being Home. Same because you have every day to choose how to live and to love and Home because what matters most is with you.

BEing on vacation is Divine Opportunity. Divine because slowing down enables you to hear God’s voice and Opportunity because you have a chance to start again living the day–to-day like you are always on vacation.
