Settle Down

March 15, 2023March 15, 2023 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

I’ve been on the move.  I need to settle down.  I need to talk about sitting in sorrow. There’s a lot to be said for sitting and observing what’s going on around you, even in tough times. Of course, no one wants to be in an uncomfortable place very long. We want to get away … Continue reading Settle Down

Joie de Vivre!

March 2, 2023March 3, 2023 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 10 Comments

I’m walking around a parking lot.   Thinking.  I’ve flown away again. I’ve flown to find piles of hurricane ruin still standing. No roof. No home.  A parking lot walk is a good option in this restless place.  I walk around my car which is piled high with my personal belongings. They were rescued last … Continue reading Joie de Vivre!

Making Peace with Pain …and moving forward

January 22, 2023January 22, 2023 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

Precious ones.  We cannot park in this world without being punched by pain. Physical or emotional pain is part of passing through this imperfect place.  But, guess what?  So is joy in the journey. The big question is: Can we make peace with pain and still experience joy in the journey? My answer is: YUP.  … Continue reading Making Peace with Pain …and moving forward

Fill ‘er Up.

December 29, 2022December 31, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

A wise person told me we won’t have much to give if we don’t fill up every once in a while. This is a story of filling.  I wasn’t dressed for a snowy walk. I headed to the post office in leaky rubber clogs and an old tattered sweatshirt. No gloves.   I grabbed my … Continue reading Fill ‘er Up.

Salvaging Life

November 13, 2022November 13, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 3 Comments

Sorry I’ve missed you the past few weeks. I’ve been absorbed in salvaging.   Webster defines salvaging as: The act of saving something extracted (as from rubbish) as valuable or useful. It seems I’ve been doing a lot of salvaging in the last two years. I’ve relied on God  to help me find good stuff … Continue reading Salvaging Life

 Healing Garden

September 5, 2022September 5, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

 Gardens settle my heart. When I was forced to move, my wise friend and sister told me, “Laurie you need a place to dig in the dirt.”  And so began my therapy. It was a hard deadline.   Two barns, a garage,  a basement, fifteen rooms, forty-plus years of life had to be vacated .  … Continue reading  Healing Garden

Feeling Low? Laugh! 

August 28, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes I watch mindless comedies. I laugh loud and hard at the jokes. Good thing I’m alone. My guffaws fill the room. “Laugh” is number seven on my Top Ten Tips for Coping.  Please embrace laughter in your day.   My daughter buddies are quick to laugh. Silliness can saturate their room.  Their giggles are … Continue reading Feeling Low? Laugh! 

Top Ten Tips on Coping! #6 Write!

August 22, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

✅ Worried? ✅ Worn out? ✅ Write it down!  Write is number six on my Top Ten List for Coping. I write a lot.  In 1963 when I was 7, my Grandad handed me a little General Electric notebook.  It was a tiny, bound datebook, an early advertising give-away.  To me...it was a treasure. I … Continue reading Top Ten Tips on Coping! #6 Write!

Looking Beyond Loss

July 24, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

I’ve got pretty good vision, but I’ve been having trouble seeing lately.  There’s a drape of confusion and pain covering stuff around me and, I have to admit, it’s hard for me to see beyond my loss.   God’s patient with me, though.  He’ll help me figure it out.   God will help you figure … Continue reading Looking Beyond Loss

I Will Not Lose My Song

June 6, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 5 Comments

I will not lose my song.  At 65 I can’t remember where I left my keys, but I can remember every word of a Broadway showtune.  Since I was little, I loved to sing.  I believe singing is a God gift.  God gave me a little body and a big mouth - What can I … Continue reading I Will Not Lose My Song
