Witching Away The Whiles

I have to be very careful as I talk about this part of my life. I shall not be sharing certain details because it is important to maintain the magical mystery. You understand magic. It requires a delicate touch. Every Autumn, I get to join a delightful magical sisterhood. We put on our hats andContinue reading “Witching Away The Whiles”

What Does It Mean To Feel Good?

Thursday. I went to therapy today. I feel good. I feel good BECAUSE of therapy. I felt myself healing in the sessions, and in the time between sessions. Today was odd because I babbled on about one topic after another. The therapist laughed with me and we just danced from one topic to the other.Continue reading “What Does It Mean To Feel Good?”

Relationships-Finishing My Thoughts

(Written in July 2014–just a month before meeting my husband Antonio) We had a lesson in church today about marriage. How do you talk about marriage in a singles ward? Very. Carefully. The woman teaching did an excellent job. She emphasized two trains of thought. Covenants and Stewardship. A covenant is a two way promise.Continue reading “Relationships-Finishing My Thoughts”

Things I Don’t Want to Talk About. Part 3. Great TV!

I think the title of these posts are perhaps misleading… I have a tendency to jump connections. The title should really be. “There Are Things I Don’t Want To Talk About and as a result, I have discovered good things that I really want to discuss. Part blah blah blah.” Rather than clear things up,Continue reading “Things I Don’t Want to Talk About. Part 3. Great TV!”

Things I Don’t Want To Talk About. Part 2. The Park

Covid19 is overwhelming me. I know we’re going to be fine. It comes down to this. I handle stressful situations by determining what I can do, and then leaving the rest alone. I can wear a mask to stores and businesses. I can wear a mask at work when others are around. I can putContinue reading “Things I Don’t Want To Talk About. Part 2. The Park”

Things I Don’t Want To Talk About. Part 1: The Cat

Every time I sit down to write, I change gears and find something else to do because I have too many things I don’t want to write. I don’t want to write about politics. I don’t want to write about therapy. I don’t want to write about family, or money, or work, or theatre. AndContinue reading “Things I Don’t Want To Talk About. Part 1: The Cat”

Too Much to Tell

I’m sorry the writing has been as daily as I have meant it to be. I have so much to be thankful for! My thoughts are a jumble. I feel like I need a pensieve (from Harry Potter) to organize and peruse the events. After the last post, I had so many people come byContinue reading “Too Much to Tell”

Here Comes The Sun

Yesterday Dan and I drove up to Primary Children’s hospital for Dan’s appointment with the team of endocrinologists who serve the kids in the area with Type 1 (juvenile) Diabetes. The beltway circled up towards the mountains. It was about three in the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly in the west, and stretchingContinue reading “Here Comes The Sun”

The Miracle of a Happy Husband

Money has never been my strong suit. I know how to work hard, but I am not good at saving or planning for anything. I am currently in debt to the tune of 3 zillion dollars. Antonio had a job where he worked to repair and rebuild an old storage facility. The money was good.Continue reading “The Miracle of a Happy Husband”

A Day In The Life

Today I am tired. I did my best yesterday. I really did. I actually exercised! I went on a short walk with a dear friend. She pushed her 4 year old in a stroller and we had a nice visit. And she gave me pears from her tree! So, to recap–I actually participated in aContinue reading “A Day In The Life”
