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

When in Doubt…Dance

June 1, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 8 Comments

(****This is the second post in my series on How to Cope with Tough Times****) I’m not a dancer but I love to dance.   Most of my movements are deemed goofy by my kids.   As a matter of fact, for about 20 years, while they were home, I  relegated dancing to the basement.  … Continue reading When in Doubt…Dance

Cracked to Shattered…and Back Again

May 6, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

✅ I’ve always jokingly referred to myself as a cracked pot ✅ Little did I know I’d be shattered ✅ For the past two years, I’ve dealt with the cold, cruel chaos of trauma. ✅ Some of you know...some of you don’t...My love of 40 years chose to walk away from our marriage .   … Continue reading Cracked to Shattered…and Back Again

Cheering You On

February 25, 2022September 9, 2022 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 7 Comments

I’ve always been a performer, but not a cheerleader. I was a short little nerdy girl in high school so I gravitated to the stage...not the cheer squad. . I guess I’m a cheerleader at heart, however.   Years ago, when I created my one-woman show, “Confessions of a Type A Lady,” I incorporated a … Continue reading Cheering You On

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
