5 Things

They say it’s the small things in life that bring you happiness, right? I’m not sure who “they” is, but I believe them. And sometimes these very small things feel very large. I’m not sure I can narrow my list down to just five, but I will give it a shot. These are the five…

The Sunday Post: Dry July

Is it over yet? It’s been almost two weeks since I saw S and it feels like two months. I’m back from my work trip and now he’s on one of his own and won’t be back until the end of the week. I’ve been trying to stay busy. Work has helped; there’s always plenty…

The Sunday Post: Getting Closer

This was the perfect weekend to bake. The forecast called for winter weather, including snow, which doesn’t happen very often in South Carolina.

I don’t remember the last time I sat together with someone to enjoy a cup of coffee and conversation. I guess maybe it…

Missing Corners

I had several ideas for this week’s photo challenge, but Friday morning as I was writing my Morning Pages it came to me: the corner piece of brownie (a little extra crunch from the edges but still gooey throughout the rest of the delicious morsel of goodness). I don’t remember now how that came to…
