Haiku is the weekly writing challenge at the Daily Post at Word Press. Seventeen syllables to express a thought, completely, in three lines--five, seven, five. While typically, a poem such as this is meant for describing nature, I'm putting my own spin on the challenge. I don't think I've written haiku since high school, however, … Continue reading Haiku, Can You? Happy Anniversary, Too!

Weight Watchers Can be Fun!
I've battled my weight for years, or more to the point, it's battled with me. I've lost, gained, lost, gained, lost, gained, hundreds of pounds. I know that I'm not unlike thousands of women in the world. I've tried everything, again like most people, who've played the weight loss roulette. I have to admit though … Continue reading Weight Watchers Can be Fun!
Hand-Me-Downs, Rock!
Today I spent time, finally, making the complete switch in the closet from summer/fall clothes to winter. It's a less than enjoyable process for me, frankly. I am forced to look at things I've outgrown (and not necessarily in a good way) as I try to live by the rule "If I haven't worn it in … Continue reading Hand-Me-Downs, Rock!
The First One Hundred Days!
What to write about? Firsts? One hundreds? Perseverance, firmness, resolve, determination, fortitude; any or all of which it takes to get through 100 days of something. And where do we find our strength to live up to a commitment like writing every day for entire year, 365 days in a row; regardless of what else … Continue reading The First One Hundred Days!
Post 99
I've been thinking more about the content for tomorrow's post, day #100, than I have about today's, so I' m finding it difficult to identify a topic for today. The inspiration for blogging for 365 days in a row actually came from watching the movie Julie and Julia. If you haven't seen it, take a look, it's … Continue reading Post 99
Church Choirs
I'm taking today's idea for my post from the blog "Chasing Happy".

The prompt offered today is: Something You Were Taught.Who … Continue reading Church Choirs

Sunday Morning: Joel Osteen or Spongebob?
Whether we identify them as such or not, we all probably have a Sunday morning ritual. When I was living single, my Sunday morning routine included a cup of hot coffee, pancakes for one, and reading the Sunday paper; classifieds first, then the wedding notices, and finally the coupons. I've continued with variations on the … Continue reading Sunday Morning: Joel Osteen or Spongebob?
Roast Beef Dinner, My Fourth Grade Teacher, and Pumpkin Ice Cream
Tonight Steve and I went to the Riverside Congregational Church's annual Roast Beef Dinner. It's named for my brother-in-law's late father, Bob Olson. We arrived after the serving had begun and walked into Bristol Hall. Five long rows of tables end to end, lined with white plastic table cloths and chairs running down either side. The … Continue reading Roast Beef Dinner, My Fourth Grade Teacher, and Pumpkin Ice Cream
