The Absence of Motivation

Posted on May 27, 2017 | 24 comments

Oh motivation where have you gone?
Will you come back soon to where you belong?

Oh motivation where can you be?
Are you lost in the vastness of the wide open sea?

Oh motivation do you really exist?
I honestly need to know, I must insist!

Oh motivation will you give me a sign?
Can you please help me to free my mind?

Oh motivation what is your goal?
Are you lost in the mind of a tired old soul?

Oh motivation can you please tell me the truth?
Are you ever coming back to me, or have you moved to Duluth?

Oh motivation am I being too impatient?
What should I do, wait until I’m ancient?

Oh motivation are you really as important as you seem?
Are you really of any value, or just a fanciful dream?

Oh motivation are you really gone?
Don’t you know that without you I am not very strong?

Oh motivation can’t you see?
Without you, I am not being me.

The other day I told my daughter (15) that all of the forks were being washed in the dishwasher and so she’d have to use a spoon to eat her meal. I had a serving spoon on the counter for her to dish up her meal with, and I figured she’d grab a normal size spoon out of the silverware drawer to eat with.

When I came back a little while later, I found her eating her salad with this…

Yes! That’s the serving spoon! I took one look at her and said, “Why aren’t you using a regular sized spoon to eat with?” She looked at me with wide confused eyes and then began to laugh so hard she could barely talk… She said, “Oh mom, I thought you meant all the silverware was in the dishwasher and I had to eat with the serving spoon!”

Anyway, it was really funny, and she’s such a petite little person. So to see her trying to eat with this huge serving spoon made us both laugh.

And look at the difference in size! Lol… 😉

So, I was in a rush this morning and tried to save myself some time by putting all the eggs together in one skillet. Here’s what happened… lol.

My daughter Brianna (15) took one look and said…

“Mom, something went wrong there…”

Do you think perhaps she’s correct in her assessment? Lol… 😉

And just so you know… I didn’t break a single yoke when flipping them over. So it wasn’t a complete disaster. 🙂

“Hey Mom! What is this, a knitting needle?”

Caitlyn Cook (daughter, age 23)

How many of you know what this is? I suppose it could pass for a crochet needle, but it’s actually an orange peeler. My girls never cease to surprise me by their odd questions, even at this age. Lol…. 😉

Every night at the dinner table, we have somebody pose a question. Tonight my daughter asked… “What’s the weirdest dream you’ve ever had?” My husband immediately chimes in… “Nope, there’s not enough time in this life for that one!” And straightaway he looks right at me and smirks. Lol….

Here’s a few of them I’ve written about… what do you think, is he right? 😉

The Narrow Escape

It was the year 2117…

A dream that I will never forget…

Premonition

The Vision

Another Vision
