what a week 3 simple words that say so much and so little Punctuation changes everything. What a week... What a week! what.a.week. Inflection tells a story. (sigh. quietly.) What a week. (speaking quickly with excitement) What a week. (spoken with bitterness, almost biting the words) What a week. Body language speaks volumes. (With shoulders … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: what a week (when you need to know Sunday’s comin’)
Wednesdays with Jillene: “Inconceivable!”
Ah... The Princess Bride, a movie introduced to me in my youth group days and one I still enjoy watching with my children. And this is one of my favorite parts to quote: Vizzini: INCONCEIVABLE! Inigo: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Words are funny … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: “Inconceivable!”
Wednesdays with Jillene: guidance along the way
"I need advice." It would be great if we could ask for it flat out, straight forward but, all to often perhaps, we don't even know we're in need! It hits us more like a frustrated sigh, an angry cry, a complaining text message, a snide remark, tears of remorse... We've come to a point … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: guidance along the way
Wednesdays with Jillene: when you don’t know the way
"I'll go first. You can follow me there." Makes me cringe just thinking about it. No, seriously! Have you ever needed to get from where you are to someplace else and I are unfamiliar with the route? Then someone turns to you and, because they are headed to that someplace else as well, suggests that … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: when you don’t know the way
Wednesdays with Jillene: (don’t grow) weary
February has given way to March, which has many people happy because as far as months go, most of New York has a great disdain for February. The general sentiment is, "enough already!" You know, enough with the winter business. Let's get on with Spring! And that's what March ushers in: Spring. Maybe you've circled … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: (don’t grow) weary
Wednesdays with Jillene: Buried
Funny story… I went outside this morning and was surprised by another 4+ inches of fresh powder. Kinda silly to say, since it is winter and this is by no means an unusual occurrence. The white stuff has been falling for months in such quantities that we’ve been breaking weather records. (I was purposely trying … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: Buried
Wednesdays with Jillene: map and mirror
Watching the 11 o’clock news can be amusing, especially on occasions when it is almost as if the broadcasters are up past their bedtimes. Some nights are filled with silly slip ups from the reporters, playing clips that belong to a different news story, losing live feeds, and other nights the content leaves me wondering … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: map and mirror
Wednesdays with Jillene: sunlight and shadows
Do you want to see a snapshot of something adorable and absolutely spontaneous? Their cute shadow heart was pretty awesome, all their own idea, and just what I needed this morning. Shadows are so much fun to play with from creating shadow puppets, playing shadow tag, to just having fun with how silly you can … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: sunlight and shadows
Wednesdays with Jillene: press on
Its February 4th. Yes it is true, I made sure to double check. January 2015 has (already) faded into the past and given way to the shortest month of the year. Where is time going? Wasn't this just yesterday? New Year's Eve. One month into the new year, how are you feeling about 2015? Either … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: press on
Wednesdays with Jillene: perfect
Perfection eludes me. No earth shattering revelations there 😉 As you read my blog posts its evident I've provided numerous examples proving that point. I’m terrible at proof reading; editing never was my strong suit as I read what I meant to say instead of what I actually wrote. Clicking the publish button is often … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: perfect
