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

Upside Down Summer

I find myself getting teary-eyed and lump-throated. I want to go back to then, to a couple of months and a couple of weeks ago. When the promise of summer spread out before us like a luminous tapestry floating in the breeze, its edges disappearing into the fog that rolled in gently off the water, giving the illusion of timeless, eternal freedom.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

My Crappy Energy Crash

Of course, there was also the possibility (however slight) of Celiac disease, which would obviously make one feel tired and malnourished. My curiosity was piqued enough to at least give a gluten-free diet a try. Despite my former skepticism and inward eye-rolling at a friend who in previous years had claimed to have “gluten sensitivity”, thinking she was just looking for attention, and/or a need to feel special and different from everybody else, (I know. What kind of friend am I? In that instance, I’ll admit I was wrong.) I decided to give it a go…Continue Reading

  1. Nature: Weekly Photography Challenge…

    You’re welcome to interpret the theme in any way that you wish as it is relevant to where you live but I’m anticipating to potentially see some wildlife shots, landscapes, pics from backyards, perhaps some macro shots of flowers and insects…

Just Way too Busy!

Sickness creeps in to tell me, hey, take it easy. But does anyone do that? I think so many of us parents feel this way. How in the world do we keep up with all the demands placed upon us?Continue Reading

Good Deed of the Week

Eric, “You must have the wrong number.”

Me, “Well, actually I’m calling to let you know that you had the wrong number.”

Eric, “Wrong numbers all around.”

Me, “Not exactly, you see, you left a message on my phone but it was meant for someone else.”

Eric, “I certainly never sent an email to anyone last night.”

Me, “No! It wasn’t an email. It was a voice message meant for someone named Jean and it sounded like your voice.”

Eric, “It certainly wasn’t my voice.”

(Oh, but it was.)

Me, (attempting to jog Eric’s memory,) “Are you sure you didn’t try to call and leave a message saying thank you to someone named Jean?”

Sinister Sock Monkeys

If we end up staying up all night, sleeping all day, unshowered and dread-locked, living on twinkies and soda from 7-11? Well, I guess that wouldn’t be SO bad. It is summer vacation after all.Continue Reading
