*Swish, Swish*…. Excuse me while I brush the dust off of this thing……. I failed to write here yesterday, but I would like to try to blog every other day this month. You know, for good ole NaBloPoMo. Today I want to tell you about something really interesting. My Life. Ha ha ha… that’s what this space is…
Full
The calendar keeps surprising me. Another year is almost gone. Next week is Thanksgiving and then the hustle and bustle of the Christmas holidays begin. Before we can barely blink, my champagne glass will be full and I will once again resolve to do better in some way. Every year at this time, I feel…
Happy November
I’m preparing to leave and there is so much to think about and do before I go… Right now the living room is in disarray because the kids did little “shows” for me last night and moved the coffee table around and we did not have time to clean up, while watching the Astros win…
Flooded
My mini-van zooms down the highway as I look to the side and sporadically see blurred flashes of piled up debris near the road. If you look closely there are pieces of furniture and slabs of drywall and copious remnants of wood. I am passing by areas of South Texas that were flooded during Hurricane…
Trusting
A friend texted me yesterday morning, asking if I had read a book called “Night”, by Elie Wiesel. Since I had not heard of the book, I looked it up online. After reading the quick synopsis, my mind immediately thought, “I cannot read this book right now”. In the meantime, I texted her and asked,…
Brand New
Towards the end of last year I discovered the song “Brand New” by Ben Rector. The kids and I sang and danced to it over and over around the house, and every time we listened we smiled and had the best time. You might say we wore it out. The video is so great because…
Can You Be Humble?
This time of the year always reminds me how many people are less fortunate than I. And I mean in more ways than just what I have or possess. I also mean in the way of family, support and general love. I have so much of those things surrounding me, it truly is a miracle….
I Don’t Even Know What to Call This
I am sitting here watching Tiny House Hunters and wishing this was the last day of the month so I would not have to write anything else if I do not want to. In short, I need a break from #NaBloPoMo (only 2 more days). Back to the show… It cracks me up that these…
What’s in a Name?
I rarely go to Starbucks. If I do it’s usually while at an airport and traveling. But sometimes I get a hankering… The other day I decided to get an afternoon latte because that extra push later in the day sounded good to me. I stood behind another woman as she ordered and even though I didn’t…
Butterflies All Around
I’ve seen so many butterflies lately. They fly in front of my van while parked at a light or I see them while waiting to the get the kids at school, walking around the neighborhood with Ollie, or just about anywhere. Beautiful bright yellow ones and orange and black ones. Every time I see one I…
