If January was a person. I don’t think I’d like her so well. She is moody and unpredictable and has let me down again and again. Frankly, I find her to be mean. Cold, abrasive and calculating in her unkindness. But I’ve decided to give her another chance. Maybe we can actually be friends, after … More just because
I have experienced the unexpected this week. Not in a huge way, as in nothing revolutionary happened. Nothing far out of the ordinary, I suppose. Yet. Thinking back to Sunday, which was Palm Sunday. My son was in Kentucky for his spring break and performed a recital in Louisville. His sister surprised him by attending. … More unexpected
I heard Here Comes the Sun Friday morning. The first song played, 9am sharp, when Rock & Roots on WUKY began. Apropos I suppose since it was an overcast, somewhat rainy morning. I began crying during the intro. Why? Yes, I know it’s a happy song. So why? I’m not completely sure, but a mini … More sun, moon and stars
My personal belief is that one of the best parts of the holiday season is the week between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. All the gift hoopla is over. No more worries about whether a clothing item is going to fit someone or baking deadlines. I am fortunate to be able to take some … More struggle
I’m thankful for them, yet I hate to be a worry. This week at least two friends have asked if I am okay. They were legitimately concerned. Which means I am showing the outward signs of not being so.

I don’t believe I’ve ever posted like this. A link to someone else’s blog: when your dreams have shattered Someone I don’t know but at some point started following. I happened to see her post today. And it hit. Home. Exactly where I am at this morning. Oh, I probably will feel better later today. … More hit home
My daughter and I cherish our Thursday nights and Saturday mornings at Fitness Boxing. Our local YMCA offers a class, taught by a cool middle aged guy named James. We’ve developed a fondness for James. Perhaps partly because of our own personal James [my son/her brother]. Alas, James the boxing instructor could not teach our … More alright to be sad
I didn’t realize it would soon be time to change the clocks until Thursday. I set my alarm last night, completely aware that I would lose an hour of sleep. I did however, forget to switch my phone alert from silent. The majority of the time, I awake before my alarm goes off. This morning … More spring forward
There’s the proverbial, One day you wake up and everything is different. For me, it’s more like, One day I drove home and nothing was the same. Tonight no one I’ve shared the house with the last years of my life will come home. I am alone with CJ the beagle. My son is at … More charting the unexpected
I think after a person feels a certain way for so long, she eventually has to tell herself to stop. Or at least she has to try to stop. You can only run so far in one direction, right? Eventually you’ve got to turn around and head home. But at the moment I convince myself … More crazed and confused
