Throwback Thursday – Back To The Future at 40

Back To The Future is one of my favorite movies. It was released on June 3, 1985, which makes it 40 years old. It is so hard to believe this classic film is 40, that is the funny thing about time travel. Thank you for the movie magic, memories and timeless adventure Steven, Robert, Alan, Michael, Christopher, Lea and Crispin. As Huey sings, it’s about the Power of Love.

Wednesday Wisdom

This is truly some Wednesday wisdom.

Arise and Asleep

Daily writing prompt
What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

My workday begins at 8:00 AM. So, I need to be up at 6:15 or so to make it to work on time or earlier. My alarm to wake up is set for 5:45 AM. I go to bed around 10:30 or 11:00 PM, depending on how sleepy I get. Now on Saturdays no alarm is set, and I slumber until I get hungry for breakfast. On Sunday’s I wake up around 7:30 to be at church. It’s all about routine and being flexible. Considering there are two of us, to get ready and to get going.
