I really love the concept of gratitude. I think it helps to turn the tide when facing down darkness. President Russell M. Nelson asked us to write down things we’re grateful for every day in preparation for Thanksgiving. I think this year is a great year to put forth this effort. I normally try toContinue reading “Gratitude And…”

Crowded Table
This week Governor Gary Herbert told the people in Utah we have to limit our contact to people within our household. And since Thanksgiving is coming up soon, I’ve been thinking about how I feel about this. I have been listening to the Highwomen’s song “Crowded Table” on repeat lately. You can hold my hand,Continue reading “Crowded Table”
Going to College
The other day, Dan asked me a question about his future. “Do you think I’ll live in a dorm when I go to college?” Such an innocent question. “Sure! If you want. It costs a lot of money.” “I thought it was free!” “Nope. It is definitely not free, but when you go to collegeContinue reading “Going to College”
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”
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”
Sorry
I want to talk about the words… Love means never having to say you’re sorry. It’s from the movie Love Story. I have never seen this movie. But I’ve thought a lot about the words… In all of my relationships, I’m always saying sorry. Antonio is always saying sorry. Dan uses apologies like a littleContinue reading “Sorry”
Good Morning
There are people I know who wake up without alarms. Dan, Antonio, my mother, my mother in law… these people all wake up without any outside help. Granted, I woke up Antonio this morning by accidentally dropping the cat on him, but USUALLY he wakes up without my help. For me, waking up is aContinue reading “Good Morning”
Funktion
Depression is such a weird trick. It’s almost like someone put a spell on you. I find myself staring at the table while life whirls around me. In the midst of my trance, the cat will bite my leg, Antonio will try and get me to look up, Dan will ask for avocado toast… AndContinue reading “Funktion”
