Hopelessly Lost, But Making Good Time
Years ago, my friend Don stated that the above would be the title of his autobiography, should he ever decide to write one. When it comes to life paths, Don is actually one of the LEAST “lost” people I’ve ever known. He’s wanted to be a writer since he was old enough to hold a [...]
Made It
It’s Wednesday morning and I managed to make it through my first full week of being on production at the new job. Honestly, it’s not that different from the old job. Typing is typing, right? I am getting a lot more feedback. My direct supervisor (“quality coach”) lives in Arizona, for now at least in [...]
Lessening – Half A Gallon
The following is an experience I had on a vision quest 5 years ago on Navajo land in northeastern Arizona: Imagine a place. Imagine a place that’s quiet–so quiet that when you don’t move and make noise it feels like you have cotton stuffed in your ears. A place that is so still you can [...]
Vacation Reflections
Two more days. My first honest “vacation” in more years than I care to remember. I actually vacated without going anywhere. Despite my anger at not getting the vacation pay I was rightfully owed, I have enjoyed every moment of it. Not having to get up at a particular time (though I was mostly up [...]
New Year, New Thoughts
Happy New Year, blog-land! It’s a chilly 28 degrees here in Pueblo, the sun is trying to shine through a layer of high, thin clouds, and I’m down here at my desk waiting for some work. So far in 3 hours, I’ve done 6 jobs. Hooo-eee, I’ll be breaking the bank today for sure! G [...]
Winter’s Kiss
It’s just after 7 a.m. here and I’m back from a walk around the park across the street. In the snow. When I slid the shade up this morning, I saw the snow sky and knew I had to go out in it. For maybe the first time this season, I felt a jolt of [...]
Gratitude
For late-start Saturdays that allow me to have coffee and breakfast on the porch with my wife (ham/mushroom/red onion/bleu cheese omelette ). For the breeze that blew through the bathroom window as I finished my shower, making my skin tingle alive with the tiniest hint of fall. For hummingbirds, gold finches, deep purple morning glories, [...]
My Stuff
Ever since around 1997, when I realized that my second husband was an alcoholic and my daughter was a changeling, I have worked hard to keep the circumstances in my life from becoming my life. Does that make sense? Circumstances always change. Time passes, kids get older, you stay with the husband or you don’t, [...]
Happy 4th!
As you go about your Independence Day celebrations, please take a moment to say thank you to the man who seldom gets recognized as the driving force behind America’s break from England. John Adams never sat down on the subject of independence and freedom, as illustrated here: Have a great day, everyone!
Stumbling Around
For someone who wasn’t going to write much for a while, I seem to be doing a lot of it. I just cruised over to Tarotscopes which thanks to Making Space has become a favorite place to visit. I wanted to check out my ‘scope for Taurus this week. What popped up was really no [...]
