TWO THINGS: MY ADVENTURE and CATCHING UP

October 28, 2018 Last year about this time, I decided to rent a cabin at a state park and go there for several days to be alone and think through some things that were troubling me deeply. At home I am easily distracted, so going someplace where there were no household chores and no TVContinue reading “TWO THINGS: MY ADVENTURE and CATCHING UP”

Silliness

November 5, 2018 Just back from my “alone-in a-cabin-survival-girl-in-the-woods-for-days” adventure and have stuff to say about that but want to think about it a bit first. But I did spend some time thinking about silliness and how much I love it and how little of it I do. So I sat on the couch upContinue reading “Silliness”

The Cabin In The Woods

November 11, 2018 Halloween night I took off to my yearly “be-alone-in-a-cabin-in-the-woods” excursion. I take a survivor-girl attitude to this event. Isolated, no phone, no internet. If I fall while on a hike, I must crawl myself out to a far distant highway so somebody can find me. I survive boredom. I conquer fear. IContinue reading “The Cabin In The Woods”

Holiday Traditions

November 20, 2018 One of my favorite movies is “Fiddler On The Roof”. Tradition! Tevye’s life is built on it. His entire Jewish community is built on it. Two of his daughters challenge Tradition by choosing who they will marry and Tevye wavers back and forth. Should he give his blessing or no? He choosesContinue reading “Holiday Traditions”

More About Traditions

November 28, 2018 I’m still pondering Tradition. Some of ours have been repeated for so many years now I wondered if they’d become boring and old and over-used to the point of non-usefulness. So for Thanksgiving I changed things around a bit, to keep things alive and interesting. So I thought! And I learned aContinue reading “More About Traditions”

Discovering New Roads

December 4, 2018 “Bored” seems to be a bad word nowadays. Something to avoid. Bored at a red light, a commercial, a line at the grocery store, or during a meal? Reach for our phone. Or newspaper or magazine. Or the TV remote. Kids reach for an IPad or other device. As though our mindsContinue reading “Discovering New Roads”

Quietness

December 10, 2018 I didn’t want to sit and be still. I’d rather do the laundry, Make the bed, Wash the dishes. I didn’t want to think and ponder. I’d rather mop the floors, Shop for groceries and gifts, Bake bread. I didn’t want to write and draw. I’d rather hang garland, Decorate the tree,Continue reading “Quietness”

My New Adventure

December 28, 2018 I have an ache in my heart. Its been there a long time. When I was a little girl, I wanted to go to ballet class. I wanted to be a ballerina! A beautiful ballerina who wore a fluffy pink dress and moved with grace and looked elegant. But someone told meContinue reading “My New Adventure”

New Year’s Resolutions?

January 8, 2019 I’m a pretty goal-oriented, purpose-driven person, so I sorta make resolutions all during the year and usually keep them. So putting resolutions to work each January is something I’ve hardly ever done. Some years I did put one word down on paper though, as something I wanted to pursue, like “love”. IContinue reading “New Year’s Resolutions?”

My Next Non-Resolution

January 17, 2019 Last week I shared my thoughts about New Year’s Resolutions, and that I am doing something different…a new thing to start this year! Instead of focusing on what I haven’t done, where I’ve “failed”, making resolutions to do better… I’m making a list of what I have done, where I’ve succeeded, andContinue reading “My Next Non-Resolution”

I need a re-start button.

January 26, 2019 I need a re-start button. My phone has one, so does my laptop. When they get all crazy I push a button…and boom! For a breath-taking moment The screens go black and silent Before they come alive again. Alive again! No static, no rebellion, no laziness. They act smart, no longer confused.Continue reading “I need a re-start button.”

Just Wondering!

March 7, 2019 How do I want to live my life? The rest of my life as I am approaching my 76th year? The answer I give, that books and magazines give is: “with joy and purpose, giving to myself and others.” I’ve pondered what that exactly means in my real world, in the dayContinue reading “Just Wondering!”

Funky Moods and Puzzle Pieces

May 22, 2019 I got myself into this mini-funk the past few months, not depressed…just disinterested in general. Every one thing was good, each piece of life was, but I didn’t know what to do with the pieces. They didn’t connect into some one bigger thing. Like jigsaw puzzle pieces scattered all over the table!Continue reading “Funky Moods and Puzzle Pieces”
