This household has been so busy lately, I'm starting to feel like we are a four person rat race all on our own. It's frustrating. We went for a walk this evening and I was thinking about it. Sometimes it seems awfully easy to forget to be thankful for what we have. The world is … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts on Frustration…
Tuesday Thoughts
Biopsies and Spinal Taps…Tuesday Thoughts
Today is a big day. It's a big, scary day for a family I count as my own and love dearly. I wrote about a month ago about Danielle (Dani) Alfaro, and her recent diagnosis of leukemia. To bring you all up to speed, Dani was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The standard course of … Continue reading Biopsies and Spinal Taps…Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday Thoughts…The Challenge
We've had some ups and downs around here lately: nothing major, just growing pains of a sort. My daughter is now a teenager. If I allowed her to do so, she would remain in her room twenty four hours each day. Thankfully, she wants to read all day - so that's a good thing. But, … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts…The Challenge
Tuesday Thoughts on a Deep, Dark Secret…
I know, false advertising. I'm the queen of organic around here. I believe in eating a varied diet that consists of a lot of raw fruits and vegetables. I make smoothies from scratch, juice drinks, bake some of my own breads, make yogurt, and the list goes on. I'm a bit of a health nut. … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts on a Deep, Dark Secret…
Tuesday Thoughts: Seamus Heaney…
A side benefit to my little one having minor surgery this morning: he lets me read poetry to him. Don't get me wrong, he finds some poetry to be really fun. While the other kiddos recited kid-friendly (and very funny!) poetry at his school's annual event, he recited Poe. Yep, that's my boy! 🙂 Today, … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts: Seamus Heaney…
Brace Yourselves!
I'm going to take a small tech break for the next few days, so I'm managing to finish my week of blogging right now. Tonight. Tuesday's thoughts were buried in multiple tasks. But...the main food for thought was: "Angels transcend every religion, every philosophy, every creed. In fact, angels have no religion as we know … Continue reading Brace Yourselves!
Taking Aim…Tuesday Thoughts
My friend's mom shares a thought for the day with her each morning. At that point, my friend usually sends the thought of the day to me, because I love each and every one of them. On Sunday, she shared the following: "To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you … Continue reading Taking Aim…Tuesday Thoughts
It’s Hard to Look Sexy Wearing a Compression Sleeve…Tuesday Thoughts
Really, that title explains it all, doesn't it? Or, nearly so. I had a phenomenal run this morning. It was the kind of run where I felt almost as if I could just go forever (I didn't) and pull a marathon distance (didn't do that, either). I showered and got ready for work. Part of … Continue reading It’s Hard to Look Sexy Wearing a Compression Sleeve…Tuesday Thoughts
Tripleheader…Missing Days!
Today's blog posts will be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday... Be patient when you get a lot of notifications today. 🙂 On Tuesday, my thoughts were devoted to "crime and punishment" - from a writing standpoint, of course. In dealing with consequences for characters, I often wrestle with whether those characters should have a proverbial book … Continue reading Tripleheader…Missing Days!
Tuesday Thoughts from the Mind of a Woman on Anti-Histamines…
Now is the hour of our sinus discontent. No, really, it is. We've had high winds, a terrible round of wildfires nearby, and the air quality has been...well, less than good. Maddie and I are starting to look as though we've been punched in the eyes, Moses is sniffling away, Lara is hanging in. I … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts from the Mind of a Woman on Anti-Histamines…
