New Years(ish) Front Room Spruce Up

In my last post, I mentioned the piles of stuff I’ve had to deal with lately. Here are photos of the state of my front room, taken a couple of days ago. I finally got up the gumption to straighten up the room. I took down the tree, organized the ornaments, and wound the lightsContinue Reading

Let’s Go to the Snow!

Gryphon immediately began to wail the moment his hands touched the snow. I guess he hadn’t been prepared for its cold sting on his soft baby skin. My dad and I couldn’t help but laugh at this as I brushed the snow dust off of Gryphy’s icy little hands and slipped a pair of socks, the makeshift mittens I’d brought, onto them. As you can see from the photos, we don’t own much gear to properly outfit us for snowy environments.Continue Reading

Despite Our Heavy Hearts, Wishing You Peace and Love This Season

I believe that the sweet precious little angels would not want any of us to be sad for too long. They wouldn’t want to let whatever form of mental illness that the person (I can’t bring myself to call him a man, and person is a stretch, too- idiot, maybe?) who took their lives was going through to sicken our spirits this holiday season. I am not saying to forget about these sweet babies. We can honor, respect and cherish them as our own children. The purest of souls would want for us to enjoy this holiday with empathy, gratitude, love and light.Continue Reading

The Upside of Pain

Pain, in certain forms, can be viewed as a message from the universe, the Divine or however you relate to that infinite force (if you believe in that sort of thing) letting us know that some sort of change is needed. Silently, yet insistently telling us that we need to work a little harder at maintaining balance. Even if we don’t recognize it, at first, and it just feels like a major inconvenience.Continue Reading

My Gradual Recovery! (or, Keep Off the Gluten)

A dear friend recently brought over one of those green bottled beverages that resemble pond scum. Once I got past the way it looked, I discovered that I loved it. I wanted to marry it. But since I am already married, I at least wanted to have it in my life on a regular basis.Continue Reading

A Welcome Change

I always freak out when I move. Why? There is such energy stored in Place; and the energy of our family permeated every room. The scents and sounds, the memories of the period spent there were swirling about in my mind. What would be to anyone else merely an empty room, for me fluttered with scenes behind my eyes- filled with color, sweet voices, music and laughter.Continue Reading

Christmas: A Simple Explanation

We shall be the gracious hosts of our family’s Christmas day and dinner this year. Yipee. Actually, I am very happy to provide a venue, even if our white-walled, ugly vinyl-floored, seating-deprived rental is a shitty one. I don’t really care, as long as my family has a place to gather and share in theContinue Reading
