Geez, I’m really behind on my posts. I read that when a writer feels some burnout, she should take a break, and that’s what I did. Although I wouldn’t say I was burned out so much as out of ideas, or the ideas I thought would work as a post didn’t excite me enough to… Continue reading 6 Reasons to Smile January 2018
The first text of my birthday came from a friend I’ve known since the 5th grade: “Happy birthday! You should change your Facebook privacy settings so people can wish you a happy day there, too!” What’s funny about this is that I am not on Facebook. I got back on for a brief stint in… Continue reading Birthday Wishes
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage… ~Lao Tzu It is November now and birthday season has begun in my house. It has been known as ‘birthday season’ for as long as I remember–it’s the time of year when 4/5 of my family has a birthday between… Continue reading Regretful Time of Year
Today’s Gratitude Journal is going to be a hodge podge of things I’m grateful for. I have so many things this week that I have enough for another post. Lucky you, two posts to ignore! This week, I am thankful for the following, and in no particular order (I write as I remember them): Rain.… Continue reading Gratitude Journal #5
Today is the day I am finally going to write my Gratitude Journal #3. I don’t know if you noticed or not but I skipped last week. I didn’t mean to, it was just a busy week with my birthday and Christmas. I still thought about what I was grateful for in my mind but… Continue reading Gratitude Journal #3
I’ve managed to keep these posts of lists going so there’s that, but I wanted you to know I am really writing real stuff, too. I entered a writing contest where I have to create a short story (1500 words or less) and submit it to a group where it will be critiqued (yeeikes!). I’m… Continue reading Top 5 for Friday, July 22, 2016
Tomorrow is my birthday. I am not telling you this because I want a whole bunch of Happy Birthdays, but I’m telling you because it explains why I received a gift from a friend of mine. Let me give you a little back story. About once a month or so, I meet with two friends… Continue reading Thoughtful or -less
A few years ago, I found out that one of my high school loves had been homeless for a period of time. This is a guy who grew up in a wealthy suburb outside of Philadelphia known as “the Main Line.” The Main Line is an area where successful doctors, lawyers, and business owners reside.… Continue reading Coffee and Change
The other night, I went to a birthday BBQ at a friend’s house, and I was suddenly reminded of a post I wanted to do a while back about how we do things in public vs. private. For instance, slices of pie or cake. When I am at home, I take a comfortable chunk of… Continue reading Polite Slices of Pie
Another birthday passed last month. I was depressed but didn’t think too much about it because I’m always depressed around my birthday. I know why I’m depressed, know I can’t (or I’m not willing to) do anything about it, and I know it passes. Every single year my birthday comes (thank God for that), the… Continue reading Friends In Real Life
