If you’ve ever been in a therapist’s office, you know the general layout of the room, which often includes a sofa of some kind and a plush chair or two. Since the counselor typically sits in a chair, couples have one or two choices: separate into two different seats or join one another on the couch. Regardless of our emotional … Read More
Love is…
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! Do you have a Love hangover today? All I can say is I’m glad the best cure for a hangover is “the hair of the dog that bit ya,” ‘cause I’ve got one more meme to add to the mix… Love is the warmth that fills our insides when we give to others… Love is the warmth … Read More
Happiness is…
Happy Sunday-Monday, Journeyer! Fortunately for me, it’s a snow day today! The post I began writing seems to have disappeared when my computer did an automatic reboot. I wonder if I’ll ever learn not to leave a dozen started and unsaved windows open… No worries, though, because the thoughts will eventually come back to me in some new and refreshing … Read More
Angels, Friends, and The Fool
Happy Sunday (now Monday), Journeyer! It’s been an equally delightful and dreary week. The frigid temps forced me to break out my coat of all winter coats, a knee-length down parka, and my furry hat. You know it’s cold when I break out a hat. Brrrr… I especially miss sunshine this time of year… We arrived home one evening early … Read More
Tricks & Treats
Well, Journeyer, This past week has been a big fat blur! I’ve spent more time than I’d care trying to figure out the best way to handle a tough work situation… I’ve been buried alive in business bookwork… …designing project graduation fundraising flyers and typing minutes… …assembling this donation—a child’s birthday party in a basket… …and finishing the sorting of … Read More
Gauging Our Happy Meter Wattage
It’s been a bit of a rough week at work, Journeyer… I won’t bemoan the details, but let’s just say I interviewed with another district, only to be told by one of my supervisors that same afternoon that the two school systems have an “unwritten agreement” that they won’t hire one another’s employees… I’m not sure this is even legal … Read More
Home on a Hill
Journeyer, man was it ever a week! This hamster wheel month has reached its peak and I barely had time to breathe last week. Hardly a day passed by that I pulled out of my drive with the sun beginning to rise and returned about the time it set. That said, I managed to hone in on moments that gave … Read More
Homecoming
“Dare to dream, hope, believe, seek, feel, find, and love.” ~Chinese fortune This morning I had one of those mother-child moments that was both extraordinary and ordinary. “I think … Read More
To Everything There is a Season
I sit at my desk this morning wearing sweat pants, a long sleeve shirt, and warm, fuzzy footie socks. Outside my window, colorful leaves rest atop my freshly mowed lawn as a stiff breeze tests the strength of the foliage not yet ready to let go. I pause thinking and typing and go make myself a mug of Constant Comment, … Read More
Happiness Taking Shape
Well, Journeyer, what can I say, the moon is full tonight, I’m back to school, we spent the weekend traveling, and this post is late. All I can do is chuckle. As I type, we are on our way to one of Big Guy’s soccer games an hour from home. So, I’m going to keep this as short and sweet … Read More
