Just seven more days left. One week. After nearly three years of living alone for the first time, that period of my life will be over. Hopefully, that will be the one and only time. This time three years ago I had no idea what was around the corner for “us.” But I knew something…

The Sunday Post: Happiness
There are three paths ahead not quite converging but running side by side. I’m taking the one on the right, and his is on the left. In the middle is happiness, a trail of sorts. You may know I can’t walk a straight line, so I often veer to my left, crossing paths with happiness…
Hello, old friend
Well hello there. Remember me? There have been so many moments over the last couple of months that I wanted to stop and write for a few minutes, but somehow those moments slipped through my fingers without them reaching for the keyboard. Or this particular keyboard at least. It’s been a busy few months and…
The Sunday Post: 2 Weeks
It’s been a hot minute since you last heard from me. Hey, I’ve been busy! I have a quiet afternoon lined up for the rest of the day, so I thought I would take advantage and check in here. We have less than two weeks until the big wedding and about ten days until my…
The Sunday Post: Deck Thoughts
We’re looking at houses today. I know, I know…but we’re not planning to make an offer or try to buy any of these houses. We’re just looking. But I’ll back up a little bit. Yesterday morning S came over for breakfast. It started as a joke, I guess when he texted me Friday night and…
The Sunday Post: Body Image (Plus, Dry July Continues)
Well, folks, I’m sorry to report that the dry spell is not over. Earlier this week I received another beautiful bouquet of flowers from S with a card letting me know he was also counting the days. He did return a couple of days ago, but he brought something home with him and it wasn’t…
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: It’s May
It’s May 1 and a beautiful day. I’ve been for a walk with S and he’s now sitting out on my front deck, captivated by a Harlan Coben novel. I lent him the couple of hardbacks I still have and he’s already finished the first and is onto the second. It’s very easy to sink…
The Sunday Post: Brunch
It’s the calm before the storm. That time soon before your guests arrive. You look in the fridge, wondering if you’ve forgotten something. (Like that time we left a whole tray of cocktail shrimp in there and only found it as we were putting things away.) The table is set, the oven’s warming up. You’re…
