So I figure gratitude is a great way to start the day and maybe a side effect will be feeling better and less stressed. So... here we go! Cups of hot chocolate. I had a lovely cup last night while watching a little TV. Crochet. I love crocheting. It clears my mind, helps me focus... Continue Reading →
Maybe a little gratitude will help
I'm not going to lie. I've been struggling - A LOT. I'm tired, exhausted, and spent. Some days, I think I'm just done. I'm over it. Time to move on. Only it's not that easy, is it? So this morning, as I was feeling all of this before ever even getting out of bed, I... Continue Reading →
Disconnecting to Reconnect
Yes, silly as it sounds, that is exactly what I have been trying to do. Disconnecting from technology some so that I can reconnect... with nature, with family, with God, with myself! I've been reading more and just sitting more. I've been visiting more and crocheting more. I've been going through things and letting go.... Continue Reading →
My World
Well, it's been crazy! We've had the dogs and darling son and his lovely wife came to get them and stayed a few days. I loved having them here! We had a nice visit and enjoyed the 4th of July together. Now the house is quiet again. I'm working this week to get ahead a... Continue Reading →
Burn out or Selfishness/laziness

Our own little bounty
This weekend, we took a trip to the farmer's market and boy, did we eat good! We are terrible about not ever getting around to doing stuff. DH always had school work to do and I always have church work to do so we often just hang out at home. It's a very boring life... Continue Reading →

What’s next?
Good afternoon, my friends! It is a beautiful day here where I am. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and there is a slight breeze. I love the breeze. It makes me so happy. I went for a walk bright and early this morning. I walked over to the local university and walked... Continue Reading →
Wonderful Wednesday
I missed my Wonderful Wednesday post last week. I'm not sure how that happened but it did. I do not want to miss it again. I think remembering the wonderful things in my life is good for me! So here we go. Last weekend, DH and I had some amazing quality time as emptynesters.... Continue Reading →
Support is Everything!
I have the best DH ever. He is amazing and takes such good care me. We recently found out there were mice in my office at one of my little churches and I was totally freaked out. Yes, I'm quite the baby. Anyway, it appeared they had moved into the couch in there. So some... Continue Reading →
