• Giselle’s Conversation Starter

  Giselle started a conversation today on RealChristianWoman that asked
  What are you doing?
  What are you thinking?

  In response, I wrote:

  What I’m doing:

  Sitting on my granddaughter’s bed with my laptop in
  my lap, listening to the YouTube videos Trevor is playing on the other computer,
  contemplating wrapping a piece of bread around a piece of ham and a slice of
  Swiss cheese, since I think I’ve had half a cheeseburger and a handful of chips
  so far today. Not doing so well on the frequent eating with food being a little
  scarce around here right now. Steve and I went to the store and got a few things
  earlier so at least now there is cereal and some Ramen and popcorn
  and sandwich stuff.

   

  What I’m thinking:

  *I wish people could hear their tone when they talk
  so they would hear when they are making someone feel like a crumb just by their
  tone.

  *I think the problem with my car might be related
  to the air conditioner. Just been thinking.

  *I wish I could figure out exactly what is causing my allergies to kick my asthma into high gear and make
  it so hard to breathe that my lungs hurt.

  *I’m thinking about the long, lingering kiss my
  husband gave me earlier when it was just him and me in the car alone for a
  little while. He kissed me and then look into my eyes and said, “I miss that.” I
  do, too.

  *I’m amused that I came to the west Florida coast
  thinking I was heading to where Tropical Storm Fay was going to hit, only to
  have her skirt Tampa and head straight for Palm Coast. Which means she rolled
  over my house this afternoon and I wasn’t there to enjoy it.

  *I’m thinking about how much I love this amazing
  Hausful of women.

  *I’m thinking how deep-down happy I feel sitting
  here by the window hearing occasional gusts of wind blowing through the trees
  and reminding me of the misty tropical rain that fell on my lover and me this
  afternoon while we were out together.
