Last Tuesday was my daughter’s twenty first birthday. I generally write a blog post on my kids’ birthdays but this year, I couldn’t bring myself to come up with anything which seemed right. So I waited. June, for me, is not the easiest of months. I do not feel inclined to write all the whys. … More diamonds
I came across this card. I bought it. With no one in particular in mind to send it to. Oh, I have multiple people whom I could. But I decided to keep it for myself. The red and pink combination of colors which in previous times I would never have mixed. Yet now, today, they … More dare
During the course of a day, a bunch of things can go wrong. Minor, all of them, but still. Annoyances. Receiving a veggie wrap instead of a breakfast wrap. Which makes me wonder if I ordered the wrong thing or the incorrect {wrap} was prepared for me. Too much romaine lettuce and the smallest smattering … More musicians whose names begin with J
Winter colors. Gray, white. A big silvery moon. The stark frigidness of the first day. Reminding me if I can step out today, I can any of the 364 to follow. Yet today, today I want to stay inside. Not hiding, per say. But certainly not venturing far. Inspiration is motivation. Which sounds like a … More inspire
The plant on my work desk is starting to blossom. I photographed it today. Interestingly, I came across this card hanging in my coworker’s office today as well. He’s actually my supervisor. I noticed it when he was talking to me about something important. Don’t worry David [that’s his name]. I was listening. Really. I am not … More new
We agreed on breakfast for dinner, my daughter and I. Friday night, yet we wanted no excitement. No outing. No celebration. The end of the semester for her. Halfway through her high school senior year. A holiday break for me. Last day of work for a while. The end of a season. Gosh, autumn has … More beauty
It hit me sometime last week I just might have misspelled the word “heel” in my last post. I kept forgetting to check though. Sure enough, tonight I looked and I did. Sorry readers. I’m sure at least a few of you noticed. It’s been corrected. Now my life can carry on. As can yours. It seems some … More please note I used the wrong heel
Last week I posted an entry regarding letting something go. Well, I’ve decided maybe not. Maybe not let go. First of all, well….there’s a difference between letting go of a situation completely [as in finalization] and surrender. Finalization is, quite obviously, final. Surrender is release. Realizing something is out of one’s control. I’ve come to … More wait here
I believe when you go through a major difficulty, it’s not hard to let it define you. Consume your thoughts and control your actions. Every move, whether big or small, can be based on the issue. Anxiety can loom. Friends and family members are careful. To not say something hurtful. Or to warn you of … More in with the new…..and beautiful
Despite circumstances and bank statements. Feelings and loss. God provides. When it’s dark. When it doesn’t make sense. When I am alone at 3am. God makes a way. The sun comes up. People offer love and prayers. Hope still abounds. Nonsense is not a part of a successful operation. Nonsense is not a building block. … More nonsense is not
