A Breath of Fresh Air

Somehow, today got away from me…hence the post at just after the clock turns toward tomorrow. Too many deadlines, too much stress for too many reasons…all adds up to that overwhelming feeling of suffocation.

Five Friday Favorites

Who knew it would be so hard to get back into the rhythm of our lives after last week’s Superstorm Sandy? And we weren’t hit nearly as hard as some. Maybe it’s just me. I’m pretty tired. Pretty worn out in a whole lot of ways. I did manage to collect a few favorite items…

Late last week, I was feeling a bit run down.  Not physically ill, but more like worn out.  I know several other people – friends, colleagues, family – who have been feeling similarly or are actually sick. So I started thinking about the things that make me feel better when I am not well in…

Ten Things I Love/Hate About Me

Know that saying, “The more things change, the more they stay the same?”  It’s actually a French proverb, attributed to French novelist Alphonse Karr. An often-debated topic is whether people can actually change or whether a person’s nature is constant throughout his or her life. In considering this question, I thought of several things about…

Discovery

I discovered something new today. No, nothing as earth-shattering as a New Land.  In fact, what I discovered is something probably thousands of other people already know.
