I can’t really explain it very well. I feel like there’s a LOT going on… That in some (many?) cases I have to let things fall away… And sometimes in quite messy form, unfortunately, And yet I think I’m keeping the main priorities squared away, plates in the air, And then I wake up, mind …

Mindset? Mindfulness
Nearly two years now, approaching two, World upside down, more than one way, Crisis demanding response, Many ways, we might say, Stark circumstances, consequences, what to do, how to play, New early morning routines, lots of thoughts in the dark, How to go forward, next steps, each day?

Is It Normal?
As the new year gets under way I recall a couple days back, standing in my garage, listening to the rain subside, looking out through the door to the darkness in the backyard. There I was, shapeshifter, projecting forward, writing about the past. My own little take on shape-shifting, maybe more seer forward, looking back. …

The words ate timeless in their comfort and hope. From Psalm 40. “I wait for the Lord, he inclines and hears my cry; he lift …
Blog Like A Tweet: Sunday Eve Lull
Mishmash morning, kids’ whim to add pancakes to breakfast? Done. Number Three finished her laundry put-away? Magic. These highlights outweighed a couple bumps, and away we went into the afternoon.
