More than usual, it would seem. Most of the time I keep my philosophical thoughts to myself. In our “modern” world, it has become something of a faux pas to start up a philosophical discussion. And with the frantic pace of 21st century lives, who really . . . → Read More: Some Thoughts Well, well! I have some big news! The biggest news ever, actually. But first, let me start at the beginning. So, this weekend was the (Dave’s and my) 3-and-a-half-year anniversary of our first date. I remembered that it was coming up a little while ago and so the two of us made plans to take . . . → Read More: Have I Got Some News! Safe or happy? Safe? Or happy? That was the question that was twirling around my mind on the way home from physio yesterday. Do I choose a play-it-safe life or do I choose one that’s happy and fulfilled? Is there a way to choose both? And what keeps holding me back from being my authentic . . . → Read More: Making the Big Choices I know. I know what you’d tell me: There was absolutely nothing wrong with the old blog layout. But well, I wanted a change. And I’ll admit it, the baby pink and blue was getting to be a little much, even for me. I may be a girly girl but I don’t need to shout . . . → Read More: Oops, I did it again… Because you gotta have something to get you through the week. 1. Trampoline, 2. summer maiden, 3. Roses, 4. yesterday…, 5. one of.., 6. new dresses for sewing machines, 7. Fun stairs, 8. summer is: towels on the line, 9. Sunday Stash Dave and I joined a CSA this summer and we’re into week 3 of our veggie deliveries. It’s so fantastic to have all sorts of local, in season, fresh, organic goodness to eat every week. (Though we may be ODing on lettuce for the rest of the month.) We’ve both been trying to get in . . . → Read More: Veggies for Everyone! Okay, here it is. I’ve gotten to a point that I’ve been to before but rarely, if ever, moved beyond. The dishes are under control, the laundry done, the apartment clean, tidy and organized. I so rarely get to this point. (Have I mentioned that already?) It is my normal state to be behind, trying . . . → Read More: New Territory So, at the end of my first week of freedom, where do I stand? I’m all but phlegm-free for one. But has any progress been made? What have I learned about myself and what I want? Well… I like this slower pace. I like not having headaches all the time. I like quiet mornings and . . . → Read More: After One Week Once the late evening comes, everything remains in shadow, except for the tops of the tallest trees, whose leaves glitter in the last of the fading sunlight. The air in the evening smells deeper, richer. It carries the smell of grass and berries and pollen. Nearby, I hear the shrill screams of children playing. Everything . . . → Read More: Once the late evening comes… Sigh. Still sick over here. This morning I was getting so fed up with this cold that I actually took some cold medicine, something I view as a last resort. It wasn’t a miracle cure but it did enable me to breathe through my nose for a while. And it was better than nothing, so . . . → Read More: The Best Laid Plans So I thought about it, and here’s what I came up with as a template for my days: On most mornings, when I’m not fighting off illness, I tend to wake up naturally around 7:00. I’ll do the tea/coffee and email/blog thing for a half hour or so. Just enough to keep the email landslide . . . → Read More: The Rhythm Because you gotta have something to get you through the week. 1. gooseberries and roxanne, 2. Ripples, 3. spice jars, 4.

But I do seem to be getting my energy back, albeit in small spurts. It was enough for me to take Daisy on a walk around the block this morning. And I really should’ve taken the camera with me when . . . → Read More: Feeling (somewhat) Better |
