At least I've made it until 9:30 p.m.! As sleepy as I've been today, that feels like an accomplishment. 🙂 Lara and I had lab work today, from our regular physicals. We had to fast. No coffee (sob), and no food until after we finished our appointment. At noon. I'm so lucky I didn't lose … Continue reading Thankful Thursday…Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

The Divinity of Nature…
Drinking my coffee this morning, in a tiny break from the strange humidity we have been having out here, I found myself not consciously thinking of gratitude - just feeling it. Between the mourning doves starting their morning conversations, and the sunrise viewed through the pepper tree, and the general quiet of the neighborhood, I … Continue reading The Divinity of Nature…
Thankful for Patience
No, I'm not. Not really. You'd think I would be more accustomed to waiting by this point in time, but I'm not. Today, I uploaded the sequel to my novel, Blessings. Now, I have to wait for Amazon's review process to complete. It can take up to 24 hours. Really, that's practically no time. I've … Continue reading Thankful for Patience
Thankful Thursday…On Fire!
It's been a day. I should backtrack, since the day began last night. Lara and I had (to borrow a phrase from my friend Malaina) Super Secret Squirrel business to attend to out of the house. No sooner were we off and running, than Maddie called and asked me to come back IMMEDIATELY because Moses … Continue reading Thankful Thursday…On Fire!
Thursday! Always More Gratitude…
I'm still loving everyone's photos for "throwback Thursday." One day, I may even post one. 🙂 We have been struck by the 110 degree weather now, so I have been relegated to indoor workouts (and swimming) only. I can't deny the convenience factor of being able to hop on the treadmill first thing in the … Continue reading Thursday! Always More Gratitude…
The Eve of the Weekend…
I love Thursdays. Of all of the days in the week, Thursdays are my favorite. We have all of the anticipation of the weekend still ahead, with none of the mayhem of trying to fit all of that activity into two days. Our garden has grown: rosemary, oregano, basil, lavender, cucumber, eggplant, carrots, spinach, and … Continue reading The Eve of the Weekend…
A Thankful Thursday Recap…
While most of you are enjoying the start of spring, we seem to have skipped straight into summer. Honestly, there hasn't been much of a transition at all here. Still, the sun is shining, both children were healthy enough to go to school today, and I ran up to the top of a mountain before … Continue reading A Thankful Thursday Recap…
Thursday…Throwback and Thankfulness…
All of these "throwback Thursday" photos floating around the internet give me little trips down memory lane. I really do love it, but now that I have dug through my mother's old photos of me, I'm thinking I'll pass on posting any of them. For someone who hasn't hesitated to post my bald photos from … Continue reading Thursday…Throwback and Thankfulness…
Thankful Thursday, Family Style…
Today was my son's very first piano lesson. I think it's safe to say we had an amazing night. Moses had taught himself to play several pieces before his lesson, and played all of them for his teacher. He continued playing melodic lines while his teacher played harmonies. He learned to sightread, and how to … Continue reading Thankful Thursday, Family Style…
Thankful Thursday List…
Every Thursday, there is a Twitter hashtag for #ThankfulThursday. People thank new followers, readers, friends, or offer up thankful thoughts and statements. I try to live in a state of gratitude most of the time. Of course, I am human so I'm not always successful in that endeavour. Still, I wanted to write a new … Continue reading Thankful Thursday List…
