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…

These boots were made for…
You know how sometimes when you can’t decide which way to go you end up going nowhere? That’s how it’s been for me the last few days. I have a poem taking shape based on an idea born New Year’s Day, and I have another idea that I woke up with a few days later….
The Sunday Post: Laughter
That’s what I want more of this year. Last night we watched a movie, make that two movies, before going to bed, and I was laughing a lot. I wasn’t just laughing at the movies (the first one was not a comedy, after all), but simply because I was happy, and S was making me…
The Sunday Post: Self Care
Self care. A lot of people talk about it, and some even poke fun at the idea. Maybe they think it’s an indulgence, or selfish behavior, or something that only those with money can participate in. I don’t think it’s just about treating yourself, although doing something that you normally wouldn’t do, either because of…
Am I Hungry or Bored?
I mentioned the other day that I wanted to do more in the kitchen this year and was going to create monthly challenges for myself and anyone who wanted to join me. Well, I’ve been busy in the kitchen already but haven’t gotten around to anything on my challenge list yet. Over the weekend I…
The Sunday Post: Habits
I wasn’t sure what the first Sunday Post of 2021 would be about. New year, new start? A review of 2020 or resolutions for 2021? Think I’ve been doing that all along and already made a few promises to myself for 2021 in earlier posts. As I knew I would, I’ve been all over the…
Music Fridays: Let’s Dance!
It’s over! At last! Let’s celebrate with some dancing, shall we? This is a mostly random selection of songs that came up when looking for happy, cheerful songs. I’ve had several moments over the last couple of months when I got up from desk and started dancing along to what Alexa was playing, just to…
Batting a Thousand
I was talking to someone the other day about my college days and when I mentioned the road trips with the guys in the basketball booster club, he suggested I probably had a great time practicing my flirting on them. I told him I knew nothing about flirting back then (or now) but he pointed…
If you’re happy and you know it (then your face will surely show it)
I don’t usually participate in WordPress’s Weekly Writing Challenges. I usually just think about it for a second, mull over the subject for a little while and wonder about the cool things that people will do with it, then forget about it and leave it alone. But as soon as I read today’s challenge and…
