Today I Took Care
Today I took care. I took care of myself. Am I using that phrase correctly? I’ve only heard it as “take care” so it sounds a bit wonky. Kind of like “passersby” or “brothers-in-law.” Technically correct, but definitely makes me do a double take. Anyway, back to the main point. Today I took care of […]
Today Was Confirmation
Today was confirmation. I preached at a youth retreat to confirmands, lived out my confirmation vows, and confirmed my calling again. Yes, I am using this word in as many ways as possible… Welcome to a grammar lesson with Hannah! Be prepared to understand “confirmation” as a noun, a proper noun, and verb by the […]
Today I Said Yes
Today I said yes. I answered the call (literally a phone call) to go to Costa Rica in just two weeks. One thing I love about my current season of life is the flexibility in my schedule to be able to say yes. When my sister calls asking, “Can you come hang with the baby […]
Today I Asked
Today I asked. I asked a question I was nervous to hear the answer to. A couple weeks ago, my husband shared a feeling he had that I didn’t understand. I told him “I’m not sure what you mean by that” and his response was that it was just a feeling he was processing. He […]
Today I Walked
Today I walked. I went for an afternoon walk. I set out with the intention to take a break from my work, get some exercise in, and grab a cup of coffee. This is not an abnormal part of my routine. About 3 days a week I’ll take a break from my work to either […]
Today I Was Grumpy
Today I was grumpy. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I’m typically a cheery, joyful person who wakes up energized and ready for the day, so this was not normal for me. I am the true definition of a morning person. As soon as my eyes open, I am AWAKE. My […]
Today I Practiced Yoga
Today I practiced yoga. I got on the mat and stretched. I’ve attended in-person yoga classes but also practice at home following videos on YouTube as a guide. Each time I get my mat out and press play is a unique experience. Sometimes I’m more focused on mindfulness, sometimes on strength, sometimes on breath, sometimes […]
Today I Went to Disney World
Today I went to Disney World. I spent 48 hours in the “Most Magical Place on Earth.” Most people call Disney World the “Happiest Place on Earth” but that is actually Disneyland’s tagline. I’m not sure why Walt and his team chose a slightly different variation for the Florida parks. Whether you call it the […]
Today I Cheated
Today I cheated. It was cheat day. I don’t have much to say about diet culture that hasn’t already been said. Throughout my life I have followed a few different meal plans to try to manage my symptoms and heal my body. Fortunately or unfortunately, each of these meal plans has helped me in some […]
Today I Published a Book
Today I published a book. I self-published my first devotional book. It was a bizarre combination of one of the most significant things I’ve ever done and a regular, routine day. I woke up and made my morning cup of tea. I sat and read my Bible-In-A-Year reading plan. I made bacon and eggs for […]
