Start living the life you imagine.
It had been a good week, but still, I was happy for it to be Friday. I was looking forward to a weekend with no commitments, heaven for an introvert. I got home, changed out of my work clothes into something soft and comfortable, and after making supper, I crashed on the couch for a... Continue Reading →
I really wanted to write about my favorite season. Had all sorts of great ideas, observations and insights, but before I knew it, the snow was flying and it wasn't even the end of October yet! Damn, I thought. It's way too early to be inspired by the cold weather. Now what? Well I tell... Continue Reading →
Oh, this weather, this dreadful weather. I love the seasons, I really do, but this in-between stuff just makes me want to lay on the couch and nap. The dark, the snow, the cold – it’s a recipe for hibernation that’s hard to ignore. I have a lot of projects I want to get to... Continue Reading →

Funny how inspiration comes from the unlikeliest of places at times. Today was that kind of day. Actually, the last few days were that kind of day. A "Polar Vortex" had hit Wisconsin and the whole state kind of shut down over the span of three days. Oh, we fought it though. We kept going... Continue Reading →
My daily Zen calendar recently said something very interesting. “You carry heaven and hell with you.” I love my little Zen calendar. It makes me think hard about things I usually don’t think about at all. That’s what’s so neat about it. This particular phrase made me laugh when I read it, because it’s so... Continue Reading →
It’s been an interesting week. My dog seemed to suddenly lose her hearing, and although she’s an older dog, it seemed to me that her hearing would fade gradually, not overnight. I was concerned, but it took a while before I could get her in to see the vet. Meanwhile, life became very interesting. The... Continue Reading →
My Sunday began with a glance out my front window to see a woman politely waiting for a squirrel to cross the street. She had been driving down the street when the squirrel appeared, and stopped to allow it to pass unharmed. The squirrel almost made it across but was frightened back by a truck... Continue Reading →
