Who Chopped Down the What Kind of Tree?

George Washington Chopped Down the Cherry Tree - Mark Otto Chopped Down the Dead Tree in our yard.

Not such an exciting day at our house today, but some good came of it. Played the organ at church, accompanied the choir, sang with the choir, had help from a good friend with a tough piece of offeratory music (thanks Jim), then helped teach Sunday School. Then...had some friends over for lunch, did some additional painting in the house, and THEN...Mark went to work chopping down (sawing I guess I should say) the dead tree in the yard.

I was convinced the tree would fall on one of the kids, so he brought it down instead. It was fun seeing the kids stacking wood, and we ended up meeting one of our neighbors and the project created some make shift seats around our firepit. The tree damaged a bit of the fence, but we found out it was OUR fence, so the apologies were much easier.

That's all folks...now off to bed for a busy week ahead. Tomorrow begins with coffee! (tomorrows writings will be much more profound - I promise)


...may your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and good friends!

  1. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything.
    However imagine if you added some great visuals or
    video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could certainly
    be one of the best in its niche. Awesome blog!

You Can Speak Your Mind, But Not On My Time?

Today's post title is inspired by the fabulous song that is likely going through your head right now "I still belong, don't get me wrong, you can speak your mind but not on my time...you can live your life, but this is my life..."etc... The topic however is inspired by a dear friend who recently said to me "why is it so hard for people to be real and have a conversation about things they disagree with?" I've been thinking about that queestion and the conversation that it inspired - what she was really talking about is feedback. Why is it so difficult to tell someone that you'd like them to do something differently? We beat around the bush, and sometimes never say what's on our mind. Isn't this really the rooot cause of relationship problems? The cause of dating mis-haps, family arguements, and the underlying issue that often results in anger and fighting? Before you answer, let me toss out some scenarios: 1) You're dating someone ...

Natural Remedies for Depression ?

Have you had those moments when you weren't feeling quite like yourself? Those negative thoughts were creeping in? clouding your judgment? making every day chores seem like amazing feats of heroism? If you've never felt like that - good for you! I on the other hand struggle with life's ups and downs. From depression during my divorce to post-partum depression, etc... I tend to be a very happy and optimistic person, but the flip side of that coin brings those days when staying in bed is more alluring than hopping in the shower and going through the motions of the day. There are some fabulous medications on the market today, and seeking the help of a healthcare professional is always a great idea. Sometimes I'm not feeling depressed, but I fear I'm headed there. I don't particularly care for some of the side effects of medications I have been on in the past, and a natural remedy can sometimes give me just the kick in the pants that I need to 'get happy...
