The Great Clean and Purge Project – Final Recap

Well, we’re here. We’re finished. OK, maybe we’re not ever going to be finished. It’s not like we’re going to do a huge Clean and Purge and then just…not. But this long-awaited and much-need effort has reached its end. From this point forward we are on the maintenance program. And there is good reason for…

Reflection

Reflection. The throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it. An image that is seen in a mirror or on a shiny surface. Something that shows the effect, existence, or character of something else. A thing that is a consequence of or arises from something else. Serious thought or…

TToT – Letting Go

I’ve been missing from blogland a little lately. I can’t say it was anything intentional – more of a development as the last couple of weeks unfolded. It’s been a bit of a bumpy road lately and I really thought about bagging the TToT this weekend just to take a breath. But I’ve said all along that…

TToT – Light from Darkness

As I was putting together my list of Thankfuls for the week, I realized that there was something of a theme at work. We’ve had several “darker” moments this week – things that just haven’t been the most positive or haven’t gone quite the way we would have liked. But in several instances, a positive…

Not Your Day to Win

This post has been a long time coming. Mostly, I guess, because every time I sit and write some or think about the words that inspired it, I end up with really conflicted feelings about it – one day the whole thing spins very positive and another day it spins off in the absolute opposite…

Focus on Trying to Get It Together

Ever feel like you just can’t quite pull yourself together? I’m having a big spell of that right now. Ever since going down with the stomach virus after Thanksgiving, I just can’t seem to get myself back in a groove. Anywhere. Work, home, writing, chores – you name it, I’m feeling out of it. As…

Ten Things of Thankful AND a Monday Listicles – I Love You Edition

Every now and then, I link up with Stasha’s Monday Listicles posts. I haven’t done one in a while, but I always love reading them. When I saw this week’s lists, though, I knew that list topic was not only a great (late) Listicles post, but it would also work perfectly for a Ten Things of…

Five Friday Favorites: Secrets for a Successful Marriage

The Fab Hub and I have no business telling anybody else how to have a happy or successful marriage. We are by far not the poster children for blissfully happy marriage. That sounds awful, doesn’t it? It’s not that we’re pessimistic or that we have a lousy relationship. Perhaps it’s just that we’re a lot…

Things My Grandfather Told Me

My Grandfather told me a lot of things. He told me I was beautiful and smart. I know there were times I didn’t believe him. But sometimes I did. He told me I could do just about anything if I set my mind to it. So far, that has proved to be completely true. My…
