Snow Days and Preparation – #10Thankful
Late Sunday evening and I’m finally sitting to think about my Ten Things of Thankful post. That happens a lot lately. (OK, it happens all the time.) I start my posts early in the week, I plan to get in there on Friday evening, and then…life happens. And I’m so very glad that it does.…

Two Days of Rest – #10Thankful
Sunday evening again. My least favorite time to write a TToT post. Why, then, does it seem that I’m always doing mine on Sunday evening? I thought I might skip this week because I have been sick. The yearly mandatory bout with bronchitis. I tried not to let it get away from me. But it…

TToT – On the Mend
I was really prepared this week. I had my TToT drafted and pretty much ready to go on Friday morning already. FRIDAY MORNING, people! That never happens. I said to myself, “Self, you can post this quick later tonight. You need to grab your keys and get your butt out of here.” And then…stuff started…

TToT – Catching Up, Transitions, and Change
I can’t help but think lately that life is a constant string of transitions. We spend most of our lives moving from one phase to another: from youth to adulthood, from school to work, from one relationship to another, from one job to another…our movement is constant and sure. That’s not to say that we…

TToT – The Never-Ending Cold
I still have a cold. I think this must be the cold from hell, brought on by the unbelievably inconsistent weather here – unseasonably mild, then sub-zero wind chills, then up into the 30s, then down to the teens, then up to nearly 60 degrees, then a plummet to the 20s. No wonder my head…

TToT – Finding My Groove…and Peace
Wow. Just wow. Well, I muddled through OctPoWriMo – sorta. I somehow anticipated having more time, producing more words, posting more posts…then life happened. I even missed a TToT or two which I truly never do. And now, here we are a week into November and NaNoWriMo I’m feeling a bit like I’m trying to climb a very…

TToT – Simple Practicality
There is nothing quite so satisfying as practical wisdom. While I suppose it’s presumptuous to call myself “wise,” I can at least admit honestly that I found several occasions this week that called for some practical application of knowledge and somehow I got it right! And in the spirit of being practical, I need to…

FTSF – Success Begins in the Grocery Store Checkout Line
Last week, we became those people. I had my first inkling in line at the grocery store. As I waited for my turn, I thought about all the things we had going on that week. Appointments, classes, homework, meetings, events…plus regular school and work hours. The line moved forward and I reviewed my menu plan…

TToT – The Blooming
I finally have pictures of our trees. The dearth of visual evidence of spring here hasn’t been for lack of trying. Well, OK, it has been for a little lack of trying. I can’t say I always remember to take my phone or camera with me when I take my walks, but I’m choosing to call…

Soup of the Week – Green Soup Surprise and a Side Car
Life is full of surprises, isn’t it? Just about the time we felt sort of confident about the arrival of spring, temps dropped into the ridiculous range. Despite the warm temps today, the wind blew cold and the forecast says snow again. It may be just “a quick clipper,” but still. No matter the temperature, though,…
