The world outside my window is gray. No sunshine. Fitting since yesterday was the least light filled day of the year. Winter is here, in all its bitter cold glory. Reminding me it gets three entire months, just like each season. I’ve considered the moon more this year than any other. Made it a point … More solstice paradox
As I consider Christmas, and what I’d give myself if I gave myself gifts, I consider grace. The word grace. Plain. Simple. New year. Resolutions. Goals. Thoughts as to what I want to change. The word, again, comes to my mind. Grace. Give myself grace. I am not perfect. I am a person. Over and … More grace
I have many thoughts circulating through my mind as I begin writing this. As I often do… Anyway, please do not allow yourself to become agitated by the term “xmas”. By using it in the title of this entry, I am not meaning to remove “Christ” from Christmas. Because let’s be real….Christmas is the celebration … More happy xmas
I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. I believe one’s favorite Christmas songs say a lot about a person. Their perspective on life. The holiday season. Whether or not they’re optimistic. If they believe in … More bells
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. Here’s the thing……. I am fairly decent at hiding the down and outs of everyday life. … More hate to be
A woman arrested. I saw the officers walk her out of the house. Four police cars out front. They escorted her to the police van. Which was in addition to the cruisers. My mind went inside the house. Does she have children? Did they see the arrest? What was her crime? Drugs? I witnessed it while running. … More blue
I have been a bit iffy regarding this holiday season. As 2014 wraps up, I long for the day I can start a brand new year. This year, well this year has not been a good one. Yet as it comes to a close, December has brought to mind positive things. I’d say it’s the … More makin’ it through december
Happy last Friday of 2013! I’ve decided to dedicate this entry to the {update}. I think most of us receive them this time of year. The family update letters from people we’ve known through the years. Some are relatives. Some are friends we met when we lived in other states. Some are people we see … More Flapjack Friday Faves [12.27]
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. I’m not sure exactly why, but Winter disheartens me. I’m a bit afraid of it. It’s unpredictable. It’s dark more than it’s light. It brings the … More not yet winter
Happy Friday. We are now five weeks from winter. It snowed in our town this week, so I got a little taste of what’s to come. I admit I’m not a lover of winter or the holiday season. I like warm days, sunshine and being outdoors. I don’t enjoy shopping, hustle and bustle or the … More Flapjack Friday Faves [11.15]
