I've enjoyed the weekly photo challenges and this week's is no exception. It gives me a chance to go back to all the photos I've taken with my cell phone, and some of them aren't half bad! I live in the suburbs, but there is also a fair amount of wooded areas nearby so we … Continue reading It’s All How You See It

205 Days Down, 160 To Go
I've blogged faithfully for 205 consecutive days; missing only one day, but felt that was okay since I'd posted twice the day before. There are 160 days and 160 posts left to meet my goal of 365 Daily Thank You's. My husband said to me yesterday, he thinks my writing has changed since the first … Continue reading 205 Days Down, 160 To Go

It’s Okay to Take a Day Off
It's school vacation week and since I don't teach any more I don't have the week off. My week is just as busy and crazy as usual, maybe more so. I'm doing 3 three-hour trainings, have 2 three-hour meetings; and did I mention, this is only the second week of my new job responsibilities in … Continue reading It’s Okay to Take a Day Off
The Legacy I Hope to Live Up To
Imagine yourself at the end of your life. What sort of legacy will you leave? Describe the lasting effect you want to have on the world, after you’re gone. Always interesting when we attempt to think about the impact we might have on the world. One of my dreams is to write a book that … Continue reading The Legacy I Hope to Live Up To

We try to keep track of the different feathered fancies that make a stop for something to eat or a bit of shelter. This picture, taken … Continue reading Object Lesson (Weekly Photo Challenge)
Halfway Home, Almost
I'm close to the halfway mark of my 365 daily Thank You's. When I started back in August, I had no idea that writing on a daily basis would be as challenging as it's been. Initially, it was easy to think of the thank you's, I'd generated a list to help me. Some of the … Continue reading Halfway Home, Almost
All It’s Cracked Up to Be, Exactly As I Expected
Tonight, Steve and I started classes at DCYF to become foster parents for (and perhaps adopt) a child in "state care". We've toyed with the idea of foster care or adoption for a while. In Rhode Island there are a couple thousand kids at any time in need of more than a place, they're in … Continue reading All It’s Cracked Up to Be, Exactly As I Expected
When and Where I Do My Best Thinking, I Think
The daily prompt today: When and where do you do your best thinking, got me thinking about...thinking. Thoughts are quite constantly running through my head. I have to put my earphones on at night and listen to music (no lyrics) before I sleep, to quiet my mind and let go of my thoughts. I would … Continue reading When and Where I Do My Best Thinking, I Think
Insert Snappy Title: HERE
The common wisdom is that if you have a snappy or engaging title for your blog post, the more traffic you might experience. The number of blog posts over the last 24 hours that share 2013 highlights from bloggers across the inter-web is probably too many to count. However, I thought hopping on that bandwagon would be fun! … Continue reading Insert Snappy Title: HERE
