Five Days In a Row


I have five days in a row where I do NOT have to got to work.  Mind you, that's not to say I won't do work while I'm home, but, that I can do my work in my pj's is comforting.   Today, I extend my gratitude to the staff who work with me; I … Continue reading Five Days In a Row

Back of the Queue, A Daily Occurence


Today's prompt for writing: Is there something you've always wanted to do, but never got around to starting (an activity, a hobby, or anything else, really)? Tell us about it — and tell us about what’s keeping you from doing it. If you're a regular reader of my blog you know that I'm in a new … Continue reading Back of the Queue, A Daily Occurence

Picky Tongues — Something Sour


You have to choose one flavor that your sense of taste will no longer be able to distinguish. Sweet, sour, bitter, salty, umami, spicy (not a taste per se, but we’re generous): which one do you choose to lose? It's toss-up between bitter and sour.  I could live without either, but what would sweet and … Continue reading Picky Tongues — Something Sour

Missed A Day, Yikes!


Last night as I was falling asleep, I realized that I hadn't posted yesterday.  Sorry to those of you who look forward to the daily dose of "thank you".  Hopefully, I can make up for it later today!  

Remember the Happy


I've been working lately on trying to focus on the happy in my life; and I'm grateful for the reminder from this Facebook post from Zig Ziglar.  Hope you enjoy it!    

The Charming Gardeners


This captures how I'm feeling today. Hope you go out and thank someone today!  

Dream Night 2014


My nephew's blog, filled with gratitude and thanks to the people who help his child to feel normal and special all at the same time. Thank you, Roger Williams Park Zoo for Dream Night!

Another Snapshot


I really enjoyed yesterday's prompt and since it was to post only one photo, I did.  However, two pictures of the same era of my life really made me smile.  This one is also of girls in pretty dresses, but as you can see I did not have a headband in my hair like my … Continue reading Another Snapshot

Snapshots and Memories


I really like when the Daily Prompt requires a picture; some days it makes the posting so much easier! Open the first photo album you can find — real or virtual, your call — and stop at the first picture of yourself you see there . Tell us the story of that photo. When I … Continue reading Snapshots and Memories

Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach


As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? How close or far are you from that vision? Not far at all.  I wanted to be a teacher. I've considered myself a teacher since I graduated from college.  I went to a workshop early on in my career and we had … Continue reading Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach
