There is a function on our family television that offers a selection of music videos. Because I’m technologically deprived, I will not expound on the details. All I know is my husband and kids tune in and find musicians and groups they like. Sometimes we all sit in the living room and take turns [sort … More happy with myself{?}

This month marks ten years since we relocated again to the bluegrass state. Before that move, we had never been anywhere longer than … More doesn’t happen overnight
My friend Jack posted a link to a list on Facebook. The list is Brianna Wiest’s creation and I think it’s quite good: 24 rules for being a human being in 2014 At first glance, the rules seems fairly easy to follow. Yet when I really concentrate and consider most of them, falling back on … More rules are made to be followed

My favorite music of 2013. Etc. But, I considered that you might not truly care and most likely have your own favorites. Plus, since I’ve shared … More Flapjack Friday Faves [12.20]

I’ve reached a floor, maybe the fourth. Maybe the forty-fifth. It doesn’t matter so much the number. But I can’t locate the staircase. I’m wandering around, lost, … More staircase
My mind sometimes goes back to my childhood and teen years and recalls words spoken to me. You know, those memorable items parents, teachers and friends said to you. Maybe I don’t remember the exact context. Maybe in my mind it’s now a paraphrase. But I remember the gist. A day or so ago I … More smile
Lonely. Icy. Gray. It’s not yet Winter. The season changes officially on December 21. Yet it’s cold, literally below freezing outside my home. So, it might as well be.
