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

 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!

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

Shattered Pot…Made New

March 21, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 12 Comments

Slowing down a minute to drop this note. In the future I’ll be sharing more about how this Type A “cracked pot” became shattered, but...for today... I want to let you know how I have the power to become new...even at the old age of 65! First...a question: ✅ Is there something missing in your … Continue reading Shattered Pot…Made New

It’s gonna be OK

February 13, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 12 Comments

“Of course we’re canceling rehearsals on Valentine’s Day.”  He shouted  this out flippantly.   All the couples in the room laughed a ‘why of course’ laugh and went about their busyness . I stood in my self-made circle, swallowing hard.  Quick, drink some water. Pain washed through me with the water. I smiled and nodded … Continue reading It’s gonna be OK

The Remains

October 12, 2021October 14, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

Even the hard times are not wasted. I’m learning about farming.  As I noted in my last article, corn becomes useful when leaves are dried out and heads are bowed.  We can be useful when our heads are bowed, too. Today I survey more fall fields.  Harvesters still rumble . Fields of husks, stubble and … Continue reading The Remains

Heads Bowed…Harvest Time

September 26, 2021October 8, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

I’ve love watching the corn. Corn grew steady and tall, like soldiers guarding country roads.   The beautiful green stalks could be a hideout.  Once, I climbed in.  Nestled there in the whispering row, I found peace. I loved the corn and the tall shelter it provided.   But now, it’s harvest time.  The harvesters … Continue reading Heads Bowed…Harvest Time

Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant

September 13, 2021September 15, 2021 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 2 Comments

I almost didn’t go. After all, why waste the gas? Besides....I’m sick of crying. Who goes to a cemetery on Labor Day, for goodness sake? I’ll admit I was feeling down. I’ve lost some good friends lately. I was alone at home on a family weekend and life seemed...well, unfair. I made myself go. It’s … Continue reading Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant
