At least for now. I have enjoyed Blogit for many years and appreciate those who have made me feel welcome and showed an interest in my writing....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RabbitFromtheWoods/695197Everyone has grand plans. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. Yet, for some reason, certain people seem to be far more successful at reaching their goals. Take for instance, someone like Lady Gaga. Whether or not her music is appreciated by everyone is beside the point - she is very successful. After...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RabbitFromtheWoods/693504Jennifer listened to see if she could hear anyone calling to them. Knowing that the average person in this day and age is usually very caught up in their own business didn’t give her much hope. She wondered how long the air in the elevator would last. She wondered whether there had been some...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RabbitFromtheWoods/692881Jennifer could feel her pulse racing and hear her heart pounding in her ears. The Troll let out a startled, “Oh My!” then wondered aloud whether anyone else in the library had heard. “Surely they have!” thought Jennifer, “How could anyone have missed it?!” She found herself being annoyed more...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RabbitFromtheWoods/692706Though normally the stairs are the obvious choice, today she was particularly achy-feeling and it had been a long day, so to get to the bottom floor of the library to retrieve her 15 year old daughter, she decided to take the elevator. Who should walk up and, seemingly irritated, join her in the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RabbitFromtheWoods/692307There comes a time when we must all step back, take a good hard look at what we are doing and decide whether or not it is really working. It takes some courage to be honest with yourself and not everyone can do this. For some time now, I have been nibbling at the proverbial carrot of being a...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RabbitFromtheWoods/691293Taking an inventory of assets and assessing progress is an important part of any business. Knowing what is available both in money and in property will play an important part in the decision-making process. Finding out what ground has been covered and what still needs to be done is invaluable....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RabbitFromtheWoods/690994A popular song with my teenage daughter these days is a song that describes what is to be done if the singer "dies young." When my daughter sings it, it creeps me out. I don't like the thought anyone dying young, or dying at all for that matter. I think it is kind of morbid to sing about wanting...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RabbitFromtheWoods/689044what is normal for one person may not be normal for another. It might be nothing out of the ordinary for you to take 10-20 pills a day, but for someone else, that would be abnormal. It might be abnormal for you to eat hot sauce on your eggs but for someone else, that might be a common occurence....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/RabbitFromtheWoods/688416it is easy to begin to feel hopeless when faced with tremendous challenges.
