Journey of 1000 Things – Part 1

In November, I blogged about a journal I purchased – 1000 Things You Don’t Know About Me. For those of you that aren’t regular survey takers, and may not have already figured this out, 1000 questions are A LOT of questions. But the first week of January, I started on a journey (with some plucky … Continue reading Journey of 1000 Things – Part 1 →

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

My search for a fabulous pillow to rest my weary head upon continues. I don’t remember having ‘pillow troubles’ as I call them when I was younger. I prefer to think that pillows aren’t as fabulous as they were back in the day, as opposed to thinking it might be something about me and/or my … Continue reading To Sleep, Perchance to Dream →

Books: My 2021 Year in Review

As I’ve mentioned previously, one of my 2022 To-Do list items is responding to the items in my journal - 1000 Things You Don’t Know About Me (1KTYDKAM). I imagine it will be useful in supplying me with some future blog topics – well, like today. #27. I love talking about… Books. Books and writing … Continue reading Books: My 2021 Year in Review →

22 in 22

Photo by Tara Winstead on Pexels.com What gets written down, gets done. I believe that. Whether at work or at home, I live by To-Do lists. I also have a white board at work and at home which I use to keep priority items front and center. Things can easily fall off my radar if … Continue reading 22 in 22 →

Thanks for Being My Mom

Ten years. How can it be 10 years?! I still remember the feeling in my heart of not wanting to go another week, and wondering how I could possibly make it a whole year, without you in my life. Now it’s been ten. Ten years since I’ve held your hand, put my head in your … Continue reading Thanks for Being My Mom →

Try to Remember

I love listening to music, but on my commute back and forth to work, I’m all about audiobooks. I’m predominantly a fiction reader, and my favorite books are psychological thrillers with a surprising reveal at the end. However, I do try to sprinkle in the occasional non-fiction book, much like a mother trying to get … Continue reading Try to Remember →

Watch Out for Quicksand!

When I was a kid, I spent a fair amount of time running around the neighborhood with friends, and as luck would have it, there was a creek that ran through some of the neighborhood backyards. We wiled away many an hour looking for crayfish, avoiding bloodsuckers (leeches), and poking anything available (sticks, toes, fishing … Continue reading Watch Out for Quicksand! →

Random Blog Thoughts

When I started blogging almost three years ago, I had a half dozen ideas or so. I wondered how many blogs I could write before I ran out of ideas. Eight? Ten? I hoped more would come to me as I went along. Wow! Did they ever. The more I wrote, the more ideas I … Continue reading Random Blog Thoughts →

So its a treat for them both to have a Saturday off and do something together as a family. This Saturday, my brother joined us and we took in … Continue reading Bright Walls in Jackson →
