Forward
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
//I received the new prompt at the end of the Thursday-night, Twitter party. FOWARD. I went to bed. FORWARD was still on my mind as I awoke the next morning. I was definitely looking forward to a 3 day weekend.
I was also remembering my Grandmother, Virginia; looking backward on and off throughout the day. Friday would have been . . .

Normal
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
What joy I am finding in my weekends. The rhythm of work with the respite of some time off; being at home. It brings a bit normalcy to my soul during this abnormal time. But, what is "normal'? Webster defines it as "conforming to a standard or regular pattern."
What is normal for one person, maybe quite abnormal for another. We do . . .

Distraction
A Five Minute Friday Challenge

A place where grace is shared . . .

Direction
A Five Minute Friday Challenge
A large portion of my job involves giving directions to people so they can find the clinic they need to be in. I've noticed that some people walk straight past the desk, with no eye contact and keep going on their way. I assume they have been here before and know where they are going. Others make eye contact, but go on over to the . . .
