The Why Behind My Words
My Husband tells me I think in words. Now you’re wondering, doesn’t everyone? No, I don’t believe that is true. Some of us do think in words; we find sense and structure in our world via letters, words, sentences, and paragraphs. Others may think in pictures and see the world laid out in visual…

TToT – By the Numbers, Sort Of
Well, it’s been quite a while, hasn’t it? I took an intentional week off for Holy Week and Easter and then all hell broke loose. It all started with some beautiful spring blooming…and pollen. Allergy season entered our lives in full force. So here we are, now three weeks, three head colds, one sinus…

TToT – A Full Spectrum of Thankfulness
I’ve had a colorful week. A full spectrum of things for which I am thankful. I’d love to show and tell you that I snagged a photo of every hue and every experience. But I did not. I was too busy soaking in the moments, living the moments. And truly, the color thing didn’t occur…

Six Sentence Stories – The Contract
Hector’s hand hovered above the paperwork, unmoving, uncooperative, disobedient to the urging in his mind. He knew the contract was bad from the start and he never should have started the project; no one agrees to terms like these, but when a man is just desperate enough he’ll agree to anything. Well, almost anything…there are some things even…

TToT – A Week of Weird
This has been a weird and crazy week. For starters, our parenting efforts have included addressing the topics of clubs that include only certain people and exclude others, balls (yes, that kind), menstrual periods, why some men might prefer to dress as women, and why poems about knife-wielding gummy bears are not appropriate material for the…

Six Sentence Stories – Reflection on a Railway
How much power lives in a moment? Life churns along, making steady progress across the landscape. You travel slowly up mountains, calmly across plateaus, more rapidly down hills on the other side; the legs of the journey vary, but always take you forward. You decide you’re making good time, estimate your anticipated arrival, and settle comfortably for a nap,…

TToT – A (Sick) Day of Rest
I don’t know if I’ve had the everlasting upper respiratory cold or several one right after another. Either way, I’ve been dealing with this nonsense since about New Year’s Day and I’ve had just about enough. I figure I’ll finally ditch the winter cold junk just in time for the spring allergy nonsense. I’m trying…

Be Careful What You Wish For
What would you change if you knew how your life would unfold? Would you eat healthier? Exercise more? Would you take better care of your teeth? Maybe you would get up the nerve to ask out the cute guy in your French class. Or maybe you would wisely say “no” when the cute guy at the…
