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…
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…
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.
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…
FTSF – Time Enough for Important Things
I am a fairly cranky person. You know that character in Steel Magnolias – Ouiser? I’m her. Given that, you might think this post would come easily. Wrong. I sat for an hour last night trying to figure out what would work for this post and came up totally blank. It’s not because I’m…
TToT – Hang On for the Wild Ride of Change
Sometimes I have more emotions than I can handle. This week has been a particularly emotional roller coaster ride, full of ups and downs. Just about the time I thought things were moving along well, BOOM! Life throws those twists and loops in when you least expect them.
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…
A Better Way to Think About Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is pretty stupid. But even so, I still kind of love Valentine’s Day. We don’t do a huge hearts and flowers and romantic Valentine’s dinner thing here. Are you kidding? We don’t do that ever. The Hub and I are two of those people who think the whole once-a-year-over-romanticized-retail-driven-frenzy of Valentine’s day is nonsense.…
TToT – Coldness and Light
I do not like the short dark days of winter. OK, I really just don’t like winter. I can handle cold if it means above freezing. I don’t mind snow if I’m inside and it’s not in the double digits of measurable snowfall. But when the temperature reads in the single digits and the snow…
This One Time I Laughed So Hard I Couldn’t Breathe – A Finish the Sentence Friday Five
BOOM! Would you look at what I did up there with that title? I couldn’t decide if I should do a Finish the Sentence Friday post or my Friday Five this week. So you know what? I’m doing both. Together. In one post. Let’s roll… This one time, I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.…
