Time and Writing
Time has just flown by. This week I got a memory from Facebook on Thursday. A lady from church was asking me about my Uncle and his predicament, and posted that she just got the prayer chain call about it. This post is now 11 years old now and besides my uncle being gone so…

Time to Relax
This weekend I knew my parents had plans and my brother went with them. I had two motivations having the house to myself and enjoying it and secondly time to ponder and write. It turns out I got a little bit of both done Saturday. For a while I was beginning to wonder; I felt…

Feelings of …Inadequacy
Since the accident something has been off. There is something I can’t quite put my finger on. Exhaustion, lack of energy, seem to be my problem. Several ideas came to mind this weekend even, but the time of waiting and the heat dried them out of my head I guess. Have you ever had this…

Feeling Stupid
Today I feel really stupid and dumb. I can’t let Bryan see this or I will get another lecture about feeling this crummy. As I feel better the idea that I can’t figure out my personal situation still drains me otherwise. Do you have problems that just seem unfixable? Have you poured your heart and…

Dear Viewer
Since I began this crazy journey of Jewell’s of Thought back at the end of March a lot has happened. Writing was a necessity after my traumatic working experience last year. Work on my book was progressing, but I had been looking into copywriting and content writing. Unfortunately everything takes money to make money. Then…

The 2nd Edition: The Hands of My Fathers
Ironically, I had about the same amount of time with Great-Grandpa Arla as I did Grandpa Leo. There was only about a month, give or take a few days up to a week, in between their deaths. It seems that I remember his death just about 10 days after my birthday which would be somewhere…

May 30, 1945
Memorial Day!! What Does It Mean To You This Year? How Will You Celebrate It This Weekend? Grandpa Leo, once the war was declared over got a hero’s welcome. The local paper ran an article about him coming home. They gave him a spot on the front page for the occasion also doubling as a…
