FTSF – About Marriage, Husbands, And Chores That Suck

It is no secret that bullying is a problem. It takes on many forms and wears many masks. It has become a public topic of discussion. But bullying often happens away from the public eye.

An Acuteness Of The Senses
I do not make it a habit to use this space for rants and complaints. I am not suggesting that I never talk about things that bother me. Of course I do. But today I’m feeling a bit lousy and I just want to say so. I feel lousy.

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…

The Best Thing I Did Lately
I am not much of a joiner. I never have been, really. I was not the kid who joined a lot of clubs in school. I was part of one or two things that were important to me. In general, I prefer to lend my support to causes and activities from behind the scenes or…

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…
