I graduated high school thirty years ago next week….May 30, 1986. My daughter graduates high school today, May 26, 2016. I’ve always found our thirty year age difference interesting and it’s made it easy to remember exactly how old she is [or in reality, how old I am]. She’s my second and final offspring to … More graduation day
My views could be construed as a bit jaded, due to past experience. Oh, and there’s also the fact I can be somewhat judgmental regarding others so-called love stories, which I often interpret as longing for validation as opposed to actual love….as in Johnny and June love. I hope you’re familiar with that term….Johnny and June … More love
My entries are few and far between, as of late. Yet I hope that changes soon. I want to be more regular. I haven’t felt comfortable sharing my thoughts with the world recently. Or I should say with the 34 people [give or take 127] who read my blog, many of whom I see on … More no one ever asks to be confused
I found myself pleased with a realization. As I left the cathedral yesterday morning, the place I’ve been worshiping these last few months, I found myself to be happy. While I realize one should, under good and normal circumstances leave one’s place of worship in a cheerful mood, I have had a dark shadow fall … More I found myself
Happy Friday and happy midway through February! The month is now half over. Which is good news if you’re a lover of Spring. Which I am. [yay!] I actually made cinnamon roll flapjacks for my kids this morning. In honor of son Jamie being home from college. And in honor of a holiday I’m not … More Flapjack Friday Faves [02.14]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-pFAFsTFTI I’ve found there are people passionate about The Beatles. And there are those that simply don’t get the iconic-ness. When my daughter mentions that some compare One Direction with The Beatles…..I cringe. But this post is not really about the Fab Four. The reason I mention them is their song, All You Need Is … More love {aka all you need}
This is the harshest January I remember. It’s beyond cold outside. The ground is covered in snow. Navigating the streets is not easy. More harsh weather is forecasted. Like the outdoor elements, I am cold myself. Figuratively freezing inside, like a brisk wind is blowing through my mind. Frazzled, feeling like something fragile that’s … More brisk
Marriage is so many things. Commitment. Love. Growth, family, friendship. I’ve pondered my marriage and marriage in general quite a lot, as of late. I’ve decided [completely on my own] the ultimate test of marriage is asking oneself this question: Knowing everything I know today, would I go back and marry this person again? Gosh, … More would you?
For oh so long I thought priorities were fairly simple. Kind of like the Marines: God/Core/Country. So, for a person such as myself: God/Husband/Kids/Etc. Yet I realize now it’s not that easy. Or maybe it’s extremely easy and I’ve tried to put way too much into it. In particular, I’m finding priorities regarding my husband … More prioritizing one’s priorities
Yesterday morning I said something stupid to my husband. Something I apologized for before he left for work. Yet I realize though an apology is accepted, the thought has been vocalized. Feelings have been exposed. Grace, she comes with a heavy load Memories, they can’t be erased Like a pill I swallow, he makes me … More said something stupid
