Shingles…and Stillness…and Running.

July 31, 2012February 18, 2016by Susan Wheeler SmithLeave a Comment on Shingles…and Stillness…and Running.

It's no secret that I live a crazy life. My mom tells me repeatedly (and has for years) that I just need to slow down, just say no, just give up some activities. Funny thing is...I think she is right. In a way.I feel just like the Apostle Paul...I keep doing the things I don't [...]

A touch of randomness…

July 31, 2012by Susan Wheeler SmithLeave a Comment on A touch of randomness…

Y'all just don't know the randomness that rolls around in my head day and, unfortunately, night.Here are some snippets I reached in and yanked out to share:I love music, especially country music. Bff, Beth, would make the most wicked face whenever she would get in the car with me and I would crank some country. [...]

Beach Week..the fastest week of the year.

July 23, 2012February 18, 2016by Susan Wheeler Smith1 Comment on Beach Week..the fastest week of the year.

The annual Smith/Secrist Beach Week has come and gone. It started out so slowly, but by Wednesday, it had "gone to plaid" *name that movie*Some things I realized while there...There has to be beaches and oceans and sun and breezes-that-blow-off-the-water in Heaven. There just has to be. There are very few places in this world [...]

The stuff we don’t talk about.

July 11, 2012by Susan Wheeler Smith2 Comments on The stuff we don’t talk about.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have some writer's block going on. I have a ton of things to say, but I just don't like it after I write it out. I don't go back and do much editing, just a little clean-up, and that works for me. However, that is NOT how [...]

Things I love right now…

July 4, 2012by Susan Wheeler Smith3 Comments on Things I love right now…

I know it has been For-Ev-Er. Sorry! No real reason. Just had nothing to say. *as if*Finished giving the house a good cleaning today. Knew I had things to say so I grabbed a Stella and decided it was time to write.Things I Love Right Now.1. Watching My Man and the Wild Boy riding in [...]

Stuff about me.

I’m Susan. Wife, mom, daughter, sister, empty-nester. I like my coffee bold.  After 20 years on staff at our church, I’ve moved on to writing full time, getting healthy, taking back our home from the years of neglect, and dating my husband. At NTGTG, you will read about the things I love (my husband, our children, critters, Jesus, to name a few) and my thoughts on life. Warning: I tend to be real. And I might just use a cuss word now and then. Welcome.
