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…

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.

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.

FTSF – It’s Not Easy Eating Green

When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, I don’t have much to say on the topic. My Daughter, however, has a bit of an opinion – YUCK! It’s not the holiday she has a problem with. It’s the green. When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, all the food is green. Green milkshakes. Green candy. Green…

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…

Once Upon a Year or Two Ago

Sometimes it’s nice to take a look at where we’ve been. Every now and then I take a look through photo albums, old letters, piles of filing in my office that need to be handled…but I haven’t done much backward observation here on my blog. Today’s as good a day as any, so come along…

Ramblings from a Dry Day

Words, words everywhere and not a one to post. I have been writing my little fingers off lately. Truly. The lack of posts here tells a different tale. Granted, I did admit the other day that much of the writing has been going elsewhere, off the blog. But still. I don’t like when this space…

TToT – The Non-Routine Routine

My disappearance this week was not intentional. In fact, I had all sorts of great ideas planned for this space – and most were actually in a semi-written state. But somehow the first week back on routine went a little awry and I ended up with a cold to boot. Two of the five school…

TToT – Between the Holidays

So here we are. It’s the end of a year once again and the beginning of a new one waits just ahead. I have been feeling rather reflective the last couple of weeks, even amidst the busy-ness of the holidays. Here between the Christmas and New Year holidays seems a good time to do that. The…

The Spirit of Christmas

Saturday was the feast of St. Nicholas. My Daughter woke to find her shoes filled with clementines and chocolate truffles with pretty wrapping and of course she was delighted. When else does a child get a treat for not putting away their shoes at night? She positively floated to our room that morning, I am…
