TToT – Grateful Grateful Truly Blessed

It’s been a rough week. My RA gave me a run for my money this week. I could have handled it better. In many areas, I have not been compassionate with myself. In all honesty, I wanted to skip this list tonight. I finally decided not to force it, to just let it go and searched for a…

An Acuteness Of The Senses

I do not make it a habit to use this space for rants and complaints. I am not suggesting that I never talk about things that bother me. Of course I do. But today I’m feeling a bit lousy and I just want to say so. I feel lousy.

TToT – Outside My Comfort Zone

I am standing outside of my comfort zone. It feels good. Recently, I have put myself and my writing “out there” for others to see, to critique, and to share. I am thankful that I had the courage to do it and I am thankful for the feedback I’ve received. I am thankful for inspiration to write…

TToT – The One With All The Excitement

This has been an exciting week. And it’s not over yet, so I’m squeezing this in to make sure I make it to the TToT party before I’m off again. This one’s moving fast, friends, so hang on… My first-ever guest post over at Pat DiCesare’s blog went so well. I am thankful for the…

TToT – House-Warming

I am losing my patience with winter. I know, I know. Everyone is tired of it and everyone is cold and nobody wants to hear anyone else complain anymore. I agree. We are house-bound today due to both weather and illness, so I turned to my good friend Thoreau for some help. Because if I…

FTSF – The Memory That Haunts Me

The memory that haunts me is the one I do not have. My memories don’t haunt me. I do not live my life with regrets. OK, maybe if pressed for something I would change, I’ll admit that I probably should have stuck with the piano lessons and taken better care of my teeth. I don’t…

Once Upon a Year or Two Ago

Sometimes it’s nice to take a look at where we’ve been. Every now and then I take a look through photo albums, old letters, piles of filing in my office that need to be handled…but I haven’t done much backward observation here on my blog. Today’s as good a day as any, so come along…

TToT – Out There

It’s been a week. So many things going on here I can’t even sort them out quite right. But it’s good. It’s a good kind of whirlwind to be caught up in. Let’s get to it because I still have about fifteen things to finish tonight. First, I have to be pretty happy about the…

TToT – Soft Landing

Our start to the New Year has been a very soft landing. I think I first heard the term used in conversation when one of Kidzilla’s preschool teachers talked about giving the children a “soft landing” routine in the morning. At the time I thought, “OK whatever,” but it’s actually a nice concept. And here in…
