The Mask

As a part of a writing small group we were asked to write about masks in light of our current pandemic and the fear that has followed.  And I thought, what are you covering up? Is it a bad lip job, a frown, a smile that went south? Whatever it is the mask won't help disguise it. My child, my child, don't you know your eyes speak volumes and tell the story of your thoughts and feelings.

It's amazing how bank robbers always wore masks and people who were about to commit some ghastly crime did the same. However we are now being forced to wear masks for our own protection as well as for others. And no matter what color or style your mask is, you still are recognizable to many. You can't hide my friend so you may as well get a name tag and let the world know who you are...just kidding!

Waiting for Friday...

Friday

This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. My tribute to Friday and all that it brings knowing God sent this day to make me glad! Thank you Lord for sweet Friday, my day!
Even working from home and at home, you still deserve a break and Friday brings it to me every time so plans need to be made to make it all it can be for a successful weekend.

This has been a great week and a stressful one with personal trials that I wish were not trials at all but that's life and we deal with it. People need to learn how to get along with others better especially the ones they say they love. Agree to disagree may sound cliche' but no truer words have been spoken. Allowing each person to voice their opinions and views is what God gave us as a right and a part of what makes us unique and independent thinkers. When we start following anything other than God we hit lots of bumps in the road which can cause bruises. Who wants unnecessary bruises?

We don't have to agree with each other to love each other. Love can get uncomfortable and sometimes unnatural, but it's what we're called to do as followers of Jesus. Even people we don't agree with, especially those we don't agree with. It is possible.

Until next time...

Friday

The clock is ticking and I'm doing my best to get the rest I need to make this Friday visit the very best one ever.  Hang with me Friday, we're going to paint the town red, and maybe a few more colors simply because it will have to come from our imagination...I still feel sequestered and pasted to my humble abode with no plans of escape.  Imagination take us away. The weather is not even cooperating with an outside venture so it's indoors and a good book for this girl. Grin and bare it! I can do all things fun as long as Friday is right by my side and not anxious to run into Saturday before its time.


Slow and easy can make for a really good weekend. So no matter what others are doing, I'm blocking all negative and non productive news and reports out for this sweet day so that we never forget how absolutely fabulous the time we spent together actually was. Friday, you have me baby! Until next time...
