Before our brains turn to jello, let’s take a few minutes and consider some Random Life Observations – my Random Life Observations, obviously. Here we go:

  • There are few cookie recipes that cannot be improved by adding chocolate chips and walnuts.
  • People who slide through just-turning-red lights are idiots https://n.pr/3cHZ51c. It is a stupid habit that costs lives.
  • I am always surprised to hear the witch in the movie Sleeping Beauty say “powers of hell!” How did that get past the censors of a children’s movie in 1959?
  • I love the comment made by a congressman about one of the boneheads appearing before an oversight committee: “We don’t think they could be so dumb as to not know so much.” Truth embedded in a beautiful double negative.
  • The Bible is by far the most interesting book in the world. It cannot be surpassed in historical drama, quality of poetry and literature, or mind-blowing truth. Anyone who does not regularly read the Bible is missing out on soul food AND brain food.
  • Saltwater sandals will never go out of style.
  • I would rather live in earthquake country than in tornado country. Don’t even TRY to argue with me about this.
  • When I grow up I will not be a surgeon – or any kind of work requiring a mask. Ever.
  • Most books are too long. There. I said it. Sometimes I have the urge to send a note to the author of a book I just finished and say, You had some great thoughts here. Wish you could have shared them in FEWER WORDS.
  • A determined and resourceful 3 year old will find the scissors.
  • When we finished building our beautiful new home, I was incapable of making a decision of any kind for several months. I had left little pieces of my mind all over the building industry and sites like houzz.com. There just wasn’t much useable material left.
  • Don’t kid yourself. You’re never really done with the laundry.
  • There is no greater pleasure than reading to a child.

And finally, family’s my favorite. Always will be. I hope yours is, too.

How about sharing some Random Life Observations of your own?
