30 Days of Reflections: Day 2

So, day 2 is supposed to be to reflect on what I would do if time froze for 1 hour for everyone except me.  Apparently the end result is that I would spend the hour reflecting on what I would do for that hour.  Good grief, that seems like a waste of time, LOL!

All the things I thought I would do, after thinking about it seemed wrong, even if for a good cause.  Here are some that I decided were not good ideas:

1-  Take all the dog, and pet food I can from local grocery stores, and take them to pet shelters feed the animals, and then leave the food there for the shelters to use.  Awesome idea, right?  No, because I would still be stealing even if for a good cause.  I would think that grocery stores would just give food to shelters, but I guess not.  Same for human shelters, but again the whole stealing thing.

2-  Take all the money from the bank and leave it with homeless, or needy people, or those that serve these populations.  Again, I would be stealing. 

3-  Drive as fast as I can to see how far I can get in an hour.  Not good, because what if I had a car accident there would be no one to  help me.  Or, what if the hour ended and I didn't know it was only an hour, and then I get killed in an accident because all the frozen cars will no longer be frozen.

4-  I even considered pranking all the people I could that were frozen in time.  But, it occurred to me what if I get caught, and end up with a black eye, or broken nose. 

See what I mean?  I spent almost an hour thinking about what I would do in an hour that I was the only person not frozen in time.  So, in conclusion, I would go somewhere peaceful, by water, meditate, clear my head and enjoy the peace and quiet for one hour.  Oh how beautiful that would be, and no thinking.  LOL!!!

What would you do for one hour if you were the only person frozen in time?  

30 Days of Reflection: Day 1

As I stated previously, I am trying to increase my blogging with some new ideas besides just crafty stuff, or things I make. So, I am doing a 30 day blogging challenge, on reflecting. This is perfect for New Years. I do not usually do resolutions, but reflecting is something different. I will be making some resolutions, or goals for 2018, and increasing my blogging is one of them. So, lets pretend it is January 1st, lol, and start day one. I won't be doing 30 days of writing, 30 days in a row. Sorry, I am not that motivated to write, lol. But, I will get the full 30 days in. Day 1, and I found this list on Pinterest, is to name one thing I could do this month to improve my spiritual walk. Now my spiritual walk began many years ago, when I was a teen, and has been a bumpy, windy road. As I continue my walk, with age, comes some wisdom and strength that might not have been there before. Since reflecting is about getting to know yourself better, I can safely say that I jump to conclusions too quickly, especially emotionally. I am not an emotional person per say, but I do get them ugly thoughts in my head pretty quickly. Not ugly where I want to hurt someone, just ugly in spite, or anger, moodiness. So, one thing I would like to improve is to not do that. Just because something doesn't go exactly as planned, or someone annoys me, or does something I don't like, keep the ugly thoughts away. How do I do that? Good question, since I have fighting with this my whole life. But, one thing I am sure will help is to pray about it, and ask the Lord to help me bite my tongue, or bite my thoughts, lol. Sometimes ugly thoughts come out with ugly words. That is another whole issue, but if the thought isn't there the words won't come. When an ugly thought comes to mind, I will try to just shoo it away. I know it sounds kind of simple, but if I practice what I preach, meaning I teach my children to treat others the way you want to be treated, then my brain should know ugly thoughts do not fit into this. How will this help my spiritual walk? Because I can't love others, as myself, if I am having ugly thoughts about them every time I get a little annoyed. What is one thing you could do to improve your spiritual walk? Check back for day 2 coming soon. Join me if you like.
