I think…

“The soul is healed by being with children.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

(The Sheriff double thinking life with an older sister / Julie Cook / 2020)

I’ve been back in Atlanta for the last several days.
There was a 6th-year anniversary celebration that required a babysitter.
Then there was a Monday morning doctor’s appointment that also required a sitter…

So while the world has been literally burning down all around me…seething and reeling in
anger and hate…
I got to thinking that it is in the company of children that I now much rather
prefer myself being.

Children are quite apt and exceedingly quick to spot the insincere, the mean, the deceitful,
as well as the unkind.

They see folks as folks—matters not their skin color, their politics, their bank account,
their beliefs…they simply know who is truly truthful, kind, and genuine…

Yep, I think I’ll stick with children.
A much more tender, sweeter, and wiser lot.

Through the praise of children and infants,
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenge

Psalm 8:2

Who I am

Julie (aka Cookie)

Julie (aka Cookie)

Hi, my name is Julie. I'm a 63 year old woman who has recently found herself divorced and starting life anew. I am both a mom and grandmother. I am also a retired educator. I was a high school art teacher for almost 31 years. I was lovingly given the nickname "cookie" by my students--hence the title of this blog. For a more detailed profile of who I am ---my interests and passions--- please see the "About" page regarding what makes the life of a "Cookie'
