There’s an older man in our neighborhood that I met through the local running club (I was briefly a member) and he lives on the next street. EVERY TIME he sees me run or walk by his house he hollers, “Hey Ellen!” I guess when we were introduced he never heard my name correctly and I simply do…

Tid Bits
Do ever get that kind of “naggy” feeling? Like you have all these “little” things swirling around in your head and you’re not just quite sure where to start? This happens to me sometimes. This is part of the reason I have a few “to-do” lists on my desk. And a paper calendar, along with…
A Day
I was inspired by Katie, from Loves of Life to post my day in pictures. I have done this before but it’s been a while. Also, the last time I did it I had kids around more. And I was taking self portraits so I was in some of the photos. Not this time. Plus, this…
What I Hear

One of the things I love to do is sing. It is not something that I talk about here very often, but it is a passion of mine. And I am not talking about just singing in the shower or singing in the van or singing in the rain (although I love doing all of those…

Clashing
I woke up Sunday morning with a dream right on the edge of recall. I was all dressed up and alone in a hotel bar, waiting for Tim. We were supposed to be going to a wedding reception together and I sat alone nursing my cocktail while watching others around me with scrutiny. One woman…
