Serenity… refocus – seek joy – thrive

I figure since I seem to wind up writing at this time of the night anyway (something to do, I’m sure, with procrastinations and deadlines) I might as well make it a sort of series – closing thoughts of the day. Maybe. We’ll see what it turns out to be – the promise to write [...]

I make them. I break them. They are only promises to myself, though, so I feel it doesn’t matter if things get in the way of keeping them.  And something usually does – kids, mom, money woes, tiredness, don’t-want-to-do-a-thing-moreness… whatever. Oftentimes, something comes up and I veer off into a day, a direction much different [...]

First, a nasty flu (nothing to do with pigs, though, I don’t think) and then my keyboard bites the dust. Computer is still on its last legs, too, but still standing for now. “Interesting times” indeed, these last couple of years of my life. Me, I’m ready for plain old boring for a while. ETA: [...]

The flu (or something!) slammed into me a day or so ago – which is probably why I felt so bad this past weekend. It was already on its way. Hopefully things will be back to normal later this week.

I always have so many plans for the weekends. Running errands (done! almost!) Cleaning (um… started! sorta!) Organizing stuff (heh) Finishing up writing projects (distant dream) Do paperwork – sorting, shredding, filing, so on (in another lifetime) Reading a book (in snatches!) Doing something fun for me (one of these days!) I usually am able [...]

I do. Have something to say, something to contribute to this vast world of words and conversation. Not, perhaps, anything profound – although I can do that too, from time to time, but even just little snippets here and there, I do have something to say and a couple of places to say it. At [...]

Mostly. And my head is not swimming nearly as much, so I think I’m on the road to recovery. Yay! I’ve realized, lately, how much I look forward to Sundays. I am not religious in the least but I’m glad others are, or at least that the day is pretty much a declared a non-business [...]

Well, this week is not starting out as planned and who knows how it’s going to end, so I am putting off the second installment of the Five by Friday series, I think. I do have all the sites picked out and such, but I want to go into a bit more depth with the [...]

I just don’t. Especially self-described feminists or liberals/progressives. Is this a personal failing I should be working on? Maybe so, but I actually suspect not, considering history. I am not sure why this was weighing on me this morning but it was, so I thought it best to get it on out. I can understand [...]

So, I decided to go ahead and change the blog name. Not an earthquake type announcement, but still… . When thinking about what name I wanted, I realized that I wanted to incorporate one of my other um… online identities/user names, I guess, even though regardless of name I am pretty much the same. I’ve [...]
