By the time I left the newsroom I was ready to rip out my hair or stick a hot poker in my ears.
All day the noise and commotion drove me to distraction — and it had been a fairly quiet day. I was alone in the pod I share with two other reporters and my phone only rang once.
You would think the quiet would be conducive to a productive day, but I could barely put two sentences together because of the noise and commotion coming from within, my whirlwind thoughts stirring up fears and anxieties I thought I had put to rest.

Our fall festival was a big success Friday night with 10 Trunk-or-Treat stations and over 100 children and adults joining us for the fellowship. Thanks to everyone who donated and volunteered to make the night a success.
October is Pastor Appreciation Month and our church family presented Pastor Jeremy with a new couch for his office on Sunday morning as a token of our appreciation for all he does for our church and church family.

Today I did not go to Beall’s Outlet next to Publix in Inverness.
That may not mean much to you, but to me it was a major big deal.
Lately, I haven’t been able to stop at Publix without checking out the outlet. Even if I park far away I’ll say, “I need to walk more,” and head over to see what’s new at Beall’s.
