Headstones and Homesteads
I ran an errand to the mall today and ended up sitting at my Grandparents’ grave site. I don’t know why, really. I’m not much of a grave visitor. I had a rough day today. But I’ve had other rough days and none have sent me running to their grave. Perhaps it is just that…

I just finished reading today’s news…not that I don’t already know what’s going on. The faces of the Sandy Hook victims on my screen actually startled me and brought instant tears to my eyes. But we refused to turn on the television or boot up the Internet with our daughter anywhere close enough to absorb one…

We Remember…
Of course I am not the only one to post a 9/11 remembrance today. Of course not, because eleven years later, it is still so terribly real and so terribly fresh. I am still bothered when I think of what those towers stood for before that day…and what they continue to stand for now. I…

Here We Go Again…
Sunday night, 10:55 PM. Trying with all of my might to get myself excited for the week ahead. It’s not that I’m not grateful for another day, another week, another opportunity… It’s just that it’s a challenge to be excited when I am feeling so unbelievably underprepared.
