Well, it has been a bit. I've been a busy little human, working the "day job" most of the day, and sometimes late nights, and squeezing in the extra stuff where I can. Sadly, the blog hasn't quite made it to the top of the priority list, but I'm still here! Hi! 👋 As some …

Metamorphosis
There are some ways in which I will never be able to remember what life was like before the pandemic: not to feel naughty, transgressive or like I'm courting danger to go to an indoor concert in a venue filled to capacity; not to have a 6 ft bubble that I live inside etched in …
How Many Different Ways are there to See the World?
This question came to me the other day and the more I consider it, the more joy and hope I feel for humanity. Back up, allow me to explain. There are a few things we run into on this planet that are constant, fixed, measurable, do not fluctuate based on time or conditions, at least …

Focus Word for 2023
As the new year is now upon us and the days start to get noticeably longer (I walked the dogs until nearly 5pm this afternoon and twilight hung around until we arrived home), it is time to start moving around and seeing how the new year feels. Not unlike trying on a new favorite outfit, …

I am not a big pro football fan. And just to be clear, I mean the NFL, the National Football League, rough-and-tumble, smashmouth, American Football.

Today’s Internal Dialog
Why aren't you writing? The blog is getting stale. I'm sick of looking at screens. And I can't gather my thoughts into coherence. But the blog was never FOR coherence; it was supposed to be for writing...Yeah, I know. I'm so sick of screens, though. And work is sapping all of my soul energy. Well …
Rain
I haven't been counting days or anything, but I'm pretty sure it has been nearly 5 months since it has really rained in my neck of the woods. Normally, we would have had SOME rain through the summer months, but this year was dry as a bone. I have felt the thirst of the ground …
So This Thing Happened Friday Night…
As soon as I was home from walking the dogs Friday evening and layed out in the hammock until I started to feel the chill of the near-fall evening, I figured out what to do next for my free evening. Hubby's playing games with the gamers leaving me with my favorite company other than him: …
