Serenity… refocus – seek joy – thrive

A while ago I began to notice that many of the people I liked to read were disappearing from their blogs. This, of course, is understandable–after all, I regularly disappear from mine. Some I tracked to Facebook, others to Twitter, and this last batch I tracked to Tumblr. It is, it seems, too much to [...]

I used to have the sweetest cat. Really! Very polite, never jumped up on the counters, ate only off of her own plate, would sit by my pillow and wait patiently until I woke up in the mornings, was always so soft and cuddly, good with kids, all of that. And then she got old [...]

A few days ago, in another life, I mentioned that I was going to conduct an interview with myself over the course of the next year, in an effort to prise open some of my closed inner spaces.  It sounds kinda silly, I know, but I am curious to see how it turns out. Will [...]

Annoying habit #3572 – giving odd titles to draft posts, with no indication of what they mean. Like… “theoretical life at the intersections of ice cream and bran flakes” What the heck? That doesn’t even sound like me – but apparently I wrote that in November and I have NO idea at all where I [...]

I opened my closet and looked with – yes, I admit it! – longing at the box that contains my old phone. No, not the the old cordless, which I packed away when I eliminated landline service. That’s not really random confession material. No, what I yearned for was this: My Incredibles phone. So, she [...]

Well, sort of, on the bookstore. On the ads too, for that matter. They ARE there, in the sidebar, just some google adsense ads. I don’t really know how effective they are – I’m pretty sure with as few visitors as I get, not very, but every little bit helps. Especially these days when the [...]
