What is Ponder This?
An online collection of ponderings from a hopeful soul.
I’m Kim - the hopeful soul. My hope comes from a life nurtured by faith, guided with a loving hand, and gifted forgiveness. It runs deep. It is optimistic. It is a map I follow through various treks and journeys. It gets me where I need to go. Consequently, my hope is the canvass on which I create my ponders. It is the clay I stretch, mold, and sculpt, forming the base from which my thoughts linger, grow, or go.
I am re-introducing my older self to my younger self, applying lessons learned by my middle self. You may sense that you know me. I could be the person you pass in a grocery aisle, a hallway, cafeteria, office, restaurant, or gym. I could easily be you. I love and long to be loved. I am insecure and yet secure. I am heavy-hearted at times while filled with joy for others. I have days I feel successful and days I do not. I am words on a page that, when pondered, can be your words on the page.
I have a one-eyed dog. A beautiful family. Eyes that view a world through a pondering lens, led by a spiritual thread. I wonder about everyday things in everyday ways and how thoughts can shift, morph, or move from one place to another. Everything is worth a ponder, and a ponder is worth everything.
I am simply - just me.
