The Turning of the Page
I don’t necessarily believe in putting the past behind me. I suppose I do to a point; there are simply some things upon which it is fruitless to dwell. We certainly cannot change the past, but for better or worse, our past remains forever a part of who and where we are today. At the…

#10Thankful – Another Year Older
So my blog and I both had birthdays this week. My blog is four years old. Imagine that. And me? Well, I’m four and then some. Birthdays have a way of prompting retrospection, don’t they. At least for me. I often find myself reflective around birthdays – take time to consider where I’ve been, where…

TToT – I’m Back!
Did you miss me? I was a little surprised when I looked at my last TToT and realized that I skipped two weekends in a row. TToT is not something I skip. But I did say I was taking an Internet break during the holidays and apparently I was serious. I really did take a…

Calm and In Control
I swore I wasn’t going to do this. I was not going to write an end of the year wrap-up post, or a list of my favorite books, or favorite moments of the year. I was not going to make any New Year’s resolutions (aside from the perennial one I make to stop swearing) or post any…

FTSF – I Have No Proudest Moment
I have no proudest moment to share with you. I am terrible with superlatives. Favorite? Best? Proudest? Worst? I am always struck dumb when asked to name only one. After thinking about this for days, I find myself reaching the same conclusion once again. I can not name any one proudest moment.

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…

What Was that Word Again?
About this time last year, I chose my One Word for 2014. Well, maybe I re-chose it. Or perhaps it chose me. My word was Focus. I knew I had not reached all of my goals in the area of improving my focus during 2013, so I wanted to recommit. And I did. I worked on…

Focus on Routine – Crafting a Plan
It is very difficult to focus on improving our daily routine when every other day is a snow day. Or a delayed opening. Or something. Seriously, how are you supposed to get into any kind of rhythm when there just isn’t even a beat to follow? And hasn’t been one since like…Thanksgiving? There has been…

Focus – Still Distracted but Moving Forward Anyway
So here we are, four days into February. Time to check in on my One Word goals and move forward into the next part of the plan. This year I’m working on Focus. For January, I decided (with a little help from Steve over at Do Something Cool) to focus on removing distractions rather than…

TToT – Later, January!
Goodbye, January! I’m so over you. Why? Because Polar Vortex, that’s why. I never thought I’d be so happy to see the temperature read 32 degrees in my life. Let’s get right down to business. First, I’m going with the theme of being thankful for others’ happiness. Monday of this week, the Fab Hub took…
