Thursday Three

This week has been a lot of things. Some weeks you just can’t articulate everything, so here’s three of those things.

1. Writing inspiration. Jon Acuff happened to be in town, and I decided to head on over to the local bookstore to hear what he had to say. A best-selling author of a few books (like Do Over and Quitter), he had a lot of good things to say but was also a pretty normal guy. It’s normal people who often do incredible things…you just have to do it. Sometimes we can get caught up with all of the obstacles, but then we don’t even put the time in to do the work. Start with doing.

2. A celebration of marriage. Weddings such a fun time of celebrating two people who have committed to spend their lives together. The hubby was a groomsman in the wedding this past weekend, so we got all dressed up, enjoyed time with friends and spent some time on the dance floor.

3. A life lesson of sorts. Through a long series of events, my sister lost her keys and therefore left her car unattended for a night over the weekend in a less than safe part of town. It was a bit of a mess to handle, especially when we later found out the car had been broken into. Insurance and AAA came in handy, but it was a long couple of days sorting it all out. I suppose the life lessons being, don’t ever lose your keys, bad things happen and you can’t plan for everything. Then it might start raining. What are you going to do?
