Let It Be | Prairie Wisdom
https://prairiewisdom.wordpress.com/2014/12/31/let-it-be
December 31, 2014. I have sheet music which has been displayed in my home these past 25 years. The music originally sat on my piano to entice people to sit down and play. When we gave our piano away, a few years ago, the sheet music landed on top of our rolltop desk. And there it has sat, year after year. The words to this song bring back childhood memories of my grandma. She often encouraged us to “Just let it be.”. How did she get away with this? For 2015, I am reminding myself to Let It Be. Good advic...

Time to Listen | Prairie Wisdom
https://prairiewisdom.wordpress.com/2015/01/29/time-to-pay-attention
January 29, 2015. My husband is a stamp collector. Over the years, I have learned a lot about stamps but to be honest, talking about stamps is pretty much a snoozer for me. The terminology is exhaustive and exhausting. Hinged. Not hinged. Fine. Extra fine. Plate blocks. Hidden watermarks. Perforations. The words keep coming at me on a daily basis. As his monologue continued, some of his words began to register. “Friend.” “Scantily clad.” “Sushi.”. I thought, “whoa, whoa, whoa! 8221; pay attention! I do t...

How Many Weather Apps Do You Have? December 11, 2014. The older I get, the more I focus on the weather. Every morning, I check the forecast. I want to know how the day will unfold meteorologically speaking. Then, I check the extended forecast for the days to come. During the day, if any weather event occurs (wind, rain, sleet or snow), you will find me checking some weather source. I want to see the current radar. I want to watch the radar in motion, both past and future. I hollered, “Where? 8220;Well, I...

Meanings are in people, not in words | Prairie Wisdom
https://prairiewisdom.wordpress.com/2011/08/03/a-legacy-of-life-lessons
Meanings are in people, not in words. August 3, 2011. Lessons from life are passed down generation to generation. If we are lucky enough, these relationships nurture us as we grow and form a foundation which we can stand on as we become who we were meant to be. I had such a foundation. Just because I am doesn’t mean I always should be. 2 thoughts on “Meanings are in people, not in words”. December 15, 2011 at 10:05 pm. December 16, 2011 at 6:16 am. Thank you. You will find yourself in a few posts ;).

Living Below the Radar | Prairie Wisdom
https://prairiewisdom.wordpress.com/2015/05/02/living-below-the-radar
Living Below the Radar. May 2, 2015. This is my 27th year at my job and I have done an incredible job living below the radar. I work hard, keep my nose to the grindstone and fade into the background. I am happy. Recently, I shared some workplace stories with our company PR representative. Evidently, this brought me and what I do for the organization to her attention. Thus, she wanted to interview me for a company newsletter which is emailed to hundreds of people in our community. What was the picture?

8220;Do you have real lemon? August 6, 2011. Traveling with my siblings in North Dakota involved some strategic planning. Where were we going to eat each day? I did not sign on to the trip until this question was answered. The first day we stopped at a wonderful small town cafe. Since the town boasts a population of 300, everyone knows everyone else and their business as well. Waitress: “What kinda dressing? My sister: “Do you have vinaigrette? My sister said, “I will have ranch.”. Sometimes if we know s...

How to Spank a Keurig without Anyone or Anything Being Hurt. December 15, 2012. I panicked yesterday. I turned on my Keurig, waited for it to heat, inserted my K-cup and then pressed the brew button. Nothing happened but a small sound resembling a ‘clunk’. This cannot be happening! My first attempt to solve my. 8220;You may not be having any coffee today”. After reading K-Cup Barista. Remove the water reservoir and the drip tray. Turn the Keurig upside down and give it a good 10 slaps on the bottom.
