I had such a fantastic day yesterday! When I got home from work (oh yea, and the dentist) I did not sit down. Sitting down, or really – it’s the removal of the shoes – just tells my body and mind ” ok, you’re home, shut down and rest”. This really happens on my daysContinue reading “Good morning! And what a good night.”

Falling into Fire…October 2023
Today I am grateful for my alone time sitting by the fire I created, in the yard of the house I bought, listening to whatever music I want to, enjoying the nature and the peace. Today I am grateful, oh so grateful, for my children and the memories that pop up to remind me whoContinue reading “Falling into Fire…October 2023”
The end of an era, a bit of acceptance, and a new beginning.
March 23, 2023 This past weekend I finally removed the remnant pieces of my once-amazing classroom. Covid-19 forced the teachers to remove all non-standard seating in our high school and go back to boring, impersonal, 100-year-old rows of desks. I kept the items of comfortable seating in a room close to mine that was onceContinue reading “The end of an era, a bit of acceptance, and a new beginning.”

Tuesday, March 15 – The Ides of March….3things
I have been really trying to focus on my mental health and healthy thoughts these past few weeks. It has been a real challenge. Hence – no daily posts. I went to court on Feb 3rd and 4th after trying to negotiate my divorce for 2 and a half years with a person who livesContinue reading “Tuesday, March 15 – The Ides of March….3things”
Sunday, Sunday – 3 things
March 6, 2022. Tomorrow would be my daddy’s birthday. Well, I guess it still is, but when your loved one isn’t here, it seems like it “used to be” their birthday. Anyway, I am grateful for the time I spent with him and that he could type. Typing sent him to the Pentagon and NOTContinue reading “Sunday, Sunday – 3 things”
