Six Sentence Stories: Scenes from a Convenience Store
I don’t come here nearly often enough to qualify for “regular” status, but I’ve been here enough to know how things work, that there is an order and a system to everything, and everyone knows their role.

TToT – Lights!
Time is really getting away from me this week. I definitely don’t like when it gets to be Sunday afternoon and I still haven’t done my TToT. So I’m thankful that I’m finally getting this done, even if it is a very weak effort. For this week, can I just say I’m thankful that we finally…

TToT – To Sleep, Perchance to Dream
Oh, I need to sleep. But fear not, friends. Unlike our friend Hamlet who contemplates suicide with those words in my title, I have no such morbid thoughts of ending my time here on this earth. Hamlet was a messed up dude. I’m just really tired and will take my leave here to enjoy an…

Six Sentence Stories – Standard Drill
“Standard drill, Maggie. Please.” She took her usual seat at the diner counter as she ordered and sat staring, unseeing, at yesterday’s newspaper; the regulars knew better than to try and engage her in conversation and anyone unfamiliar with this routine would be quickly convinced to move along by her distinct antisocial air. The old man…

Why I Seriously Need Advent This Year

TToT – I Think I Can!

TToT – We’re Here Already?
I can’t believe it’s the weekend again already. I also can’t believe that Halloween and Thanksgiving have come and gone, that autumn is now two-thirds past, and we’re heading rapidly toward Hanukkah next weekend and Christmas not far behind. Time moves so fast… What is it that Ferris Bueller said? “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t…

Six Sentence Stories – Aged
It was never supposed to be permanent; the separation loomed large but would only be temporary. “I’ll be back,” he assured her, the tears welling in his eyes threatening to mirror the flow of the ones already streaming down her own face. “The waiting might feel forever, but we’ll be together again and then it will…

Having Gratitude for Hardship – A #1000Speak Post
I’ve been thinking for weeks about my post for this month’s 1000 Voices for Compassion link-up. Weeks. My #1000Speak efforts are most often fall under the umbrella of self-compassion – something I know so many of us struggle with and need to remember to practice. For some reason, I just couldn’t marry the gratitude theme…

TToT – Hope
I’ve been thinking a lot about hope and faith lately. There are so many hardships in the world, so many heartaches close to home and far away. No matter who we are or how we hurt, we all need something to cling to, something to keep us moving forward when it feels like we can’t…
