TToT – Preoccupied
I guess you could say I’ve been a bit preoccupied. I’ve posted very little in this space in the last three weeks. I’m certain that I’m not keeping up with friends and fellow bloggers the way I’d like to, despite all the best intentions. I’ve been doing and thinking lately – a lot. I’ve stared at…

TToT – Birthdays and Life, Part 2
It’s birthday time again! Well, it was. Tuesday was my birthday and it was quite possibly the most absurd one I’ve had in a while – maybe ever. The day started off fine and quite as usual with a Happy Birthday text from Super Sister at 12:01 AM. Always. I love it. I am thankful…

TToT – Summertime
There’s something special about summertime… The daylight lasts longer… Time seems to move a bit slower… Even the busy days feel a bit less structured and demanding. There is time to breathe, to inhale deeply, and to live deliberately… We are one week into our official summer break and have filled it with wonderful moments…

TToT – Birthdays and Life
Some days make you stop and think about life more than others. Today is one of those days. Our Daughter is seven years old today and I have spent a great deal of time this week, and especially today, thinking about how we came to be in this moment… I’m going to try to do…

TToT – Short Week
The short week after a Monday holiday is always a particular kind of hell. In theory, it’s a great thing. You get to skip Monday and only face four days of the regular week – whatever your regular might be – before it’s weekend time all over again. But. In a short week after a…

TToT – Simple Practicality
There is nothing quite so satisfying as practical wisdom. While I suppose it’s presumptuous to call myself “wise,” I can at least admit honestly that I found several occasions this week that called for some practical application of knowledge and somehow I got it right! And in the spirit of being practical, I need to…

FTSF – Success Begins in the Grocery Store Checkout Line
Last week, we became those people. I had my first inkling in line at the grocery store. As I waited for my turn, I thought about all the things we had going on that week. Appointments, classes, homework, meetings, events…plus regular school and work hours. The line moved forward and I reviewed my menu plan…

Ten items every week…one hundred weeks…ten lovely co-hosts…plus everyone else who links each week? That’s a lot of thankful! I have been part of the TToT since almost the beginning – I pipped into the link-up at number…

TToT – Upright
I am upright. In fact, I’ve been upright for pretty much the entire day. That’s a major accomplishment considering I’ve been in bed sick since Sunday night – and when I say in bed since Sunday night, I’m not kidding. You know you’re seriously down for the count when you only leave the bed to…

TToT – The Blooming
I finally have pictures of our trees. The dearth of visual evidence of spring here hasn’t been for lack of trying. Well, OK, it has been for a little lack of trying. I can’t say I always remember to take my phone or camera with me when I take my walks, but I’m choosing to call…
