Happy new year! Yesterday a friend asked me for help picking a word for 2023. For some reason, she thought I could help her figure out what her focus should be this year, but I hadn’t thought about it myself yet. I didn’t suggest a word for her because I don’t think anyone else can…

Making Them Count
I’ve never really been a numbers person. Numbers don’t stick in my head that easily, except for maybe my age. For some reason that’s a hard number to forget. And yet here I am counting days I’ve been single, days since the course of my life changed, and now the number of blog posts I’ve…
The Sunday Post: Gray Skies
Woke up listening to the rain on the roof and the sound comforted me. Sunday mornings are for sleeping in and the sound of rain always seems to make that even cozier. But it was still early, not even seven yet, and I was awake. I’ve been waking early these days and can’t get back…
Meh (or a look back at 2019)
Remember when I claimed to be back at this whole blogging thing? Three posts in one year doesn’t make for a prolific blogging year, does it? I had good intentions, but I’ve spent the last three months with balls of yarn on my lap, a hook in my hand, and my head down as I…
The last hour
The last hour is always the hardest. When it’s the last hour before you go on vacation it will go one of two ways: Each minute will feel at least ten times longer. You’ve wrapped up projects, prepared out-of-office auto-replies in your email, recorded your out-of-office voicemail greeting and you’re packed up and ready to…
A Football Haiku
This assignment is all about word count, so here’s my very first attempt at a Haiku. It’s Championship Sunday in the NFL, so.. Let’s bring it home, Vikes. Time to make history with A game-winning play. Written for WordPress’s Finding Everyday Inspiration course. Day 13: Play with Word Count
The Post: A brief review
Last night we made an impromptu decision to go out and see The Post, the new Spielberg movie starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s definitely worth the price of admission. Go ahead and spring for some popcorn, too. You might finish it before the movie actually start if…
Weekend Coffee Share
If we were having coffee right now, I’d tell you about the exciting day I had yesterday. We’d been hearing rumors for a couple of months, and then were advised a couple of weeks ago to sign up for one of the training sessions offered. What were we being trained on? So glad you asked. How…
Back to the scene of the crime
Is it possible we’re at the “early bird special” point in our lives? Feels like we’re too young for that still. It’s Winter Restaurant Week downtown so when I planned my menus for the week I allowed for a night out: a date night. It makes sense to go right after work though. No use…
