Looking down at my wedding ring, it dawns on me how much I do not think of it. It has metaphorically become a part of me. I never take it off for longer than a few seconds, and most days I do not even stop to think about it or recognize that it is there. [...]
It’s ok to look back at your words and actions and admit you were wrong. Not just admit it, but learn from it, and change.
Sometimes you just need to talk, especially when it’s hard.
My mom always used to quote Proverbs, “A kind word turns away wrath”… so true. I’m trying to remember this.
Breaks are needed. [...]
Desire is a strange thing
We spend our lives as if behind glass
Hands pressed against it, wide eyed
Our jealous breath blurs the scenes
And nothing’s as it seems
Watching cool kids dance
We stand at a distance dreaming
Listening to singers sing
Our hearts nearly bursting
But our legs are lame, and our lips are locked
Under glass that magnifies
We examine others’ lives

I’m currently staring, bleary-eyed into the lights on the Christmas tree, letting my eyes relax until each light becomes a brilliant, pulsing, star-burst. It’s late… again.

I start things off with a classic.
I just took a trip down a memory lane I have no memories of.
My grandma on my dad’s side is turning 90 in February, so I am putting together a special slideshow for her. I just received a bunch of photos from my uncle, and I spent half an hour pouring over them in [...]
The discussion at church on Sunday was about judgment. God being a judge, and there being a judgment day. There was plenty of talk justifying why there has to be a judgment day, why God has to and will judge the wicked, how without a day of judgment, there is no hope, [...]
This afternoon, Robin took Amalea with her to deliver food to some friends, and I stayed home with Maya. I haven’t spent a ton of time with Maya, so it is nice to be able to have some one on one time and just study her little face. So I snuggled into our rocking chair [...]
Being sick is just about the worst thing in the world. Especially when you have two little munchkins you want to play with so bad, but you are quarantined to your room! Since Wednesday, I’ve had the flu (at least I think it’s the flu) and have been pretty much bed-ridden since then. I’m on [...]
