summer Friday thoughts: Today I will package tomatoes, preparing them for customers who purchase them in 1.5 pound increments. Bagged into brown paper, soon to be off to various places in Central Kentucky and Cincinnati. I’ll think of my dad, who loves tomatoes. I purchased and planted tomato plants as his Father’s Day gift this … More my own metamorphosis
I have yet to experience a swimming pool this summer. Though I have taken a plunge. One that has changed many aspects of my life. I have transitioned, career wise. I am unsure exactly where this will lead. I have some ideas, thoughts, hopes. I trust all will be well and currently, all is just … More plunge
Looking back, this particular week has afforded the expenditure of much emotional energy. I suppose there are weeks like that. Not necessarily planned, but how it ends up playing out. Realizations of self. Lessons learned. And relearned. How to be a better mom, friend, coworker. Person in general. Efforts made, even if unnoticed. A reminder … More performance
If you are a regular to my blog, you perhaps noticed I have changed the design. In other words, it looks different. I have recently acquired an office at work. As in my own office.

I’ve written before about my questions regarding those who enjoy boasting on being [blessed]: blessed beyond. Lately I’ve been in one of those {what about me?} ruts. You know, the {life is not fair to me} feelings? {No one understands. Everyone is self consumed.} {People have their own agenda.} Truthfully, I’m not one to enjoy … More blessed are
Happy Friday. I hope you’re looking forward to a lovely weekend. It’s supposed to rain here. But my first born is coming home from college for a visit so all is well.

I have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. The thing about me is though, I’m usually not anxious about big things. It’s the little stuff that gets me. This is an exaggeration, but I feel like I currently have 75 items on my work to-do list. Book 3 flights, mail camp … More It’s the Little Things
