It was a busy week that got busier as it plugged along. You’ll forgive me for publishing this on Sunday instead of Saturday night. I was ready to go to sleep by 7 pm last night! I am at an age of realization. I am noticing things I never saw before and recognizing all kinds…
Thankful for rain, but also thankful for beautiful sunrises. Having grown up in seasons of California drought, I understand the need for rain. We got a lot of it this week in San Diego county! It’s put a damper on my sunrise mornings, but I was particularly happy for the rain clouds to dissipate enough…
Life feels, no, I feel, unsettled. Not sure why, but I aim to find out. This week there were some amazing, mind-blowing sunrises and some non-sunrises when the heavy fog blocked any view of the homes past our fence, let alone the sun. The day pictured was one of those amazing days. Wow. Honestly, it…
The week went by so quickly! I’m stunned that the month is almost half over, but I’m starting to find my groove. The last few months have been a veritable whirlwind. I started therapy over the summer, we spent months house hunting, we spent months (or so it feels like!) moving, then school started and…
It was a full week with some really good things in it. I don’t have the 1st Week of the Year Enthusiasm that I usually do at this time, but that’s okay. I am slowly orienting myself that way, but had a pretty laid back week while I get up to speed, so to speak….
wins, losses, and what I want to do next year It’s been a month. Seriously. Cramming Thanksgiving and Christmas into a little more than 4 weeks is hard. So much to do! I took some video but few pictures this year, so I don’t have much to scroll through to tease my memories later. I…
Racing to the end of the year, time picks up speed. I don’t know why that is. But, it seems to be the case. The days are flying by, giving me whiplash. Sometimes I yearn for calm and slow. To be honest, I often yearn for that. There have been seasons, to be sure. This…
Wow. I haven’t had a chance to breathe the last few weeks, so a quick “what’s coming up.” Specifically, the Christmases are coming! I’d like to say that this holiday season has been full of cozy nights by the fire, warm mug in hand while Christmas carols play and lights twinkle. That has not been…
I love this time of year as it such a great time marker. I can think back to past holiday seasons and assess what’s working as well as look forward to the new year and things to do differently. Did you have a good Thanksgiving celebration? I love the Sat/Sun after Thanksgiving because it’s usually…
After 103 time changes, I finally learned the secret. Of course, I haven’t been able to test my hypothesis. The government will probably finally vote on getting rid of the time change once I have my method perfected, but here’s what worked this time: Pretty simple, yeah? I suppose that for some people waking early…
