“Two sides of Mac and Cheese please, is that possible”
“Of course!”
Do you really want two sides of that? *narrows eyelids*
Yeaup. Is something wrong?
No, just that it’s your birthday and I thought you’d want something special.
Mac and Cheese is special to me. Plus, I’ll be getting a Soda. You know I don’t drink Sodas! *excited whisper*
Oh well, I guess different people have different ways of celebrating their thirtieth birthdays. Who am I to ague with that? I’m just a wife. Right?
Exactly.
If you haven’t read my post on journaling the week before today, you might be a little surprised at how brief each lesson here will be.
This is intentional. Each of these lessons has one way or the other driven the many new ways I see the world. In that post, it was really focused on taking all in — the life and the new wave of hope as I get older.
Today, after splurging on two sides of Mac and Cheese, rib steak and a large coke, I will then finish this post you’re reading, proceed to settle down on episode two of The Handmaid’s tale and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet as my exhausted wife naps.
The following could each be developed into articles ( and they may).
My hope is that each will get you to think about your own journey, wherever you are, and probably argue with my take on them.
I really look forward to you disagreeing with a few — or all — as they’ve been lessons I never imagined I would personally uphold. Now I do.
Ready?
Here are 30 lessons/tips/personal signposts, picked from a life lived in different places constantly on the journey to make use of God-given skills and talents while enjoying the company of the humans I have the honor of crossing paths with. Enjoy! *excited tap on keyboard*
