I was thinking all day I wasn’t going to wait until night to write.  In case you’ve been reading this month and wonder if I actually write every day, yes, I do. I don’t think there has been any day that I pre-posted this month. Today was the first Saturday in a few I had…

One of my favorite things about my classroom when I was teaching was the windows that looked out on the sunrise. There were many days I didn’t turn on my lights when I walked in my room because I wanted to snap a quick picture of the sunrise. Now, I drive to work in the…

Today at work I was helping a teacher with a software install…that took what seemed like a sweet forever. I kept thinking as I was watching the progress “A watched pot never boils”…but finally it did complete. After we WAITed for well over an hour, not so patiently watching this little status update… I started…

This weekend was a very special day for my nephew, he was baptized in my parent’s church. He has talked about this day for well over a year, he’s been anxiously WAITing for it. In fact, he got the hands mixed up on the clock and jumped on my Mom’s bed at “6:15 am” {really…

A couple of weeks ago I drove to Austin for a work conference and passed through Bastrop, an area that endured a massive wildfire in September and October 2011 due to severe drought. The fire burned for weeks, thousands of acres destroyed, homes consumed by fire and lives lost. Every day it seemed we WAITed,…

This post is for me, maybe it will be for you, but mostly it’s an “I’m looking in the mirror and want to see where this ends up” for me. You know when it seems like something is so far away, details you can’t foresee, not sure how it will work out, WAIT and see,…

(As I mentioned before, I’m taking a break from writing about “WAIT”  on Sundays and catching up on what’s been going on.) A week ago I met one of my besties on my way home from Austin at a local winery by her house…a perfect Friday evening treat! The wine was delicious, the scenery beautiful and…

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend an award ceremony for students who are in a Rocket Engineering program at their high school. They work throughout the school year to design and build a rocket with input from their  teachers and several scientist sponsors and mentors.  In the summer they take the rocket to New Mexico where…

Seems like I have more and more conversations about the news lately and how frustrating, depressing, saddening and more that it is. Our world is depraved. But there is still good news. And there are people doing good things. I might not be able to change the whole world, but I can impact mine.  One…

This week when I was out for workouts I kept noticing caterpillars…. …and it made me think about WAITing on change… You never know what’s ahead.  It’s halfway though October, I know there are things I’m waiting on and I’m sure you are too! I’m going to believe, through the wait something beautiful will come,…
