Mom pointed out this poem seems to come out of the blue. True. Just playing with writing and reflection. In 5th-8th grades I was severely bullied. Sad it happened but I'm ok. But it had a huge impact on my life and who I am today. So writing...reflecting. Bully Immune Memories bring me cold. The…
Time to Remember: Alexander Lee
Four years ago today was the darkest moment of my life. The moment my sister's first child came into the world stillborn. The dark came in-without a warning- and it clouded over us- like a nightmare with no end. I'm not sure what was worse- the sadness and unjustifiable truth that Alexander was gone before…
Time for Poetry: Me
I want to stop you and tell you my story. I’d like you to know me. The real me. My love is for the peaceful, for the quiet, and for the tender. I sit back and I listen, I appreciate, I accept. I’m often called, “nice”. Not “gracious” or “powerful” or “strong”. Yet the niceness…
Time for Health: January’s Whole 30
My sister, Trish, has finally convinced me to try the "Whole 30" diet. I realize this is the second diet I have referred to on the blog, but believe it or not- I don't do a lot of diets. I attempt healthy eating when it's convenient but I'm not good on diets. I like sugar too…
Time for Gratitude: January 5, 2016
Feeling grateful today for the satisfaction of a good ten minute nap. Sometimes it's all I need to get through the day.
Time for Gratitude: December 29th, 2015
It's too easy to let time go by without writing in the blog. Life gets in the way. So for today- just to get my toes wet again in the blogosphere...I am revisiting my gratefuls. Today, I am grateful for what's beyond the horizon. I used to look out at the Puget Sound from my Grandmother…
Time for Gratitude: December 16, 2015
Today I'm feeling grateful for uneventful moments. It's funny. At times when I have the most I could write about- whether it be what I am grateful for, life lessons, or about experiences- the less time I have to write. But during the uneventful moments, I have time to write down my thoughts and reflections.…
Time for Gratitude: December 9, 2015
Today I'm grateful for rain boots, umbrellas, and galoshes. Things I resented needing as a child are now a necessity as an adult.
Time for Gratitude: November 30, 2015
I’m feeling grateful for gratitude. I’ve tried to document my daily grateful for each day in November. The process of thinking upon what there is to be grateful for becomes easier as the days pass. I notice myself thinking about my gratitude for cool air, for pug kisses, for time with family, for socks, for…
Time for Gratitude: November 29, 2015
Today I'm grateful for a roof over my head and enough food to nourish me. Grateful for water for hydration and shoes for my feet. I'm grateful for medicine to heal me and clean air to breathe. I'm grateful for those I love and those who love me. Simply grateful.
