The Fine Line

When I put this up this mornin as a little piece of "wisdom" from the Book of Lurlene, I have to say that I thought it just about said it all.

A couple of hours ago...I was sure that determination, was a virtue while bein' stubborn was just arrogance . 

I admire somebody who has a "stick to it" kinda attitude.  It's about mastery, like knittin' good enough to finish a sweater or  speakin french good enough to order exactly what you want to eat.  But then nobody ever told me I couldn't - or wouldn't ever do those things.  

 Maybe that's the key.
 Is stubborn what happens when folks get angry cause you keep on when they thought you never would or could or should? 


I'm startin' to see stubborn in a different light now...a lot depends on what side of the line I'm on.

Judgin' ....get you in trouble every day of the week!  No question about that!

The Fixer

I’m a fixer.

 I grew up thinking it was my place in life to try and fix things.  Small things like latches that wouldn’t close and big things like disagreements that “didn’t concern me”.

 I did it with a well placed word or a joke.  Sometimes when all else failed I created a diversion, like falling out of bed or pretending to stump my toe.  A diversion is almost as good as a plan I used to think.

One day after a rather exhausting effort to “fix something” VerDell asked me, “Why are you beatin your head against the wall?” 

It lead me to think about that.

Up my sleeve

I've been holdin this card for quite some time.
Somebody's gotta do it.

Live Simply

I recently fell in love with a new fragrance...I thought I just had to have it, but it was way out of my price range...I thought about it and thought about it and tried to justify the indulgence. Then this happened...and now I'm usin' Bounce.
Have a blessed New Year everyone!
May your joys be plenty.
Love,
Lurlene
