Writing

I don’t remember when I started this one. But, it’s worth revisiting now. You would think that since I titled this “writing” I would have written more. Alas, I have not, so I will write now. Writing… Erudite. One of these strengths quizzes I took (an app on my phone, no less!) billed me as erudite. er·u·dite /?er(y)??d?t/ Adjective Having or showing great … Continue Reading →

The thoughts have piggy-backed on this week’s themes, but I haven’t had a chance or the ability or the gumption to sit down and capture them into a significant blog post… so they have drifted away. It’s interesting to me how much writing is discipline, refining the … Continue Reading →
