Three weeks ago tonight I broke my ankle. Let me explain. Earlier that very day I had decided it was time for me to start working out again. By working out I mean exerting the least amount of energy possible, yet still respectably burning some kcals. I chose walking. I actually enjoy walking in myContinue reading “I Wish I Had A Better Story…”

An Old Rocking Chair
What a gift has been given, what a chance for a prayer… when a baby needs time in an old rocking chair. Don’t rush it, don’t skip it, & please don’t despair… this time you spend swaying in an old rocking chair. There is life that needs nurture, sweet whispers so fair… & no betterContinue reading “An Old Rocking Chair”
On Mountains & Friendship
Greetings from a valley, far, far away in the venerable Rocky Mountains. Every year about this time, we go on vacation…to the beach…which is nowhere near said mountains. My mind, heart, soul, spirit, & body yearn for & flourish at the beach…bonus is the amazing tan I acquire! So why the heck am I notContinue reading “On Mountains & Friendship”
Over The Whelm
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, so the following will be your English lesson for the day. Or for the year, whatever the case may be. I LOVE words. They make for great stories, which is why I have a blog about stories. But I digress. I did a short word studyContinue reading “Over The Whelm”
I Should Be Sleeping….
Good Morning, one & all. Well, the clock says it’s morning…1:55 a.m. to be exact…but it is darkest night outside my window. Never have I ever been a morning person, especially when the morning in question looks suspiciously like the middle of night. I would call myself an aging night-owl these days, rarely able toContinue reading “I Should Be Sleeping….”
So Here We Are…
Here we are. The day after a tragedy…local & national. Devastated. Bereft. Inconsolable. Collectively, we mourn the massacre at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, on 3/27/23. Lines are drawn. Platforms are declared. Sides are chosen. To what end? Three babies…9 year olds…BABIES…are dead. Three adults-in-charge-of-babies are dead. Perp is dead. So. Much. Death. Facts:Continue reading “So Here We Are…”
Happily Ever After, Year 36…
It is a well-known fact that all great fairy tales begin in the land of “once-upon-a-time”, & relative to that fact, this one is no different. Except it IS different. In many ways. Actually, in every way. THIS fairy tale just happens to be true. Our story begins 36 years ago…oops…actually 37.5 years ago…in aContinue reading “Happily Ever After, Year 36…”
What Would It Take?
I had a conversation with my sister this evening…via text…& we were talking about work. I asked her what her dream job would be & was #blownaway. What phenomenal ideas she has!…& yet no obvious means to make them come true. She is profusely creative…it would be a crying shame for her to never realizeContinue reading “What Would It Take?”
Ice Day, Nice Day
Hello there. Long time, no post. I am both appalled & embarrassed to realize that it has been 2 years since my last post. TWO YEARS. When I set my 2023 goals for the year, I gave myself an ultimatum: post something once a month or abandon ship. I nearly missed my own deadline forContinue reading “Ice Day, Nice Day”
Long Time, No Tell…
Well. I am not even sure where to begin. I looked back at my illustrious blogging carreer thus far, & I have not made a post since May 6, 2021…7 1/2 weeks since I graced the internet with my thoughts. There has just been a lot of, well, LIFE, going on…which has shut down anyContinue reading “Long Time, No Tell…”
