I would say no. My life is not. I’m still trying to wrap my head around where I am. But I wonder Did I ever stop and try to picture my future life last year? Because last year at this time we were driving back and forth to two different hospitals. Our eighty seven yearContinue reading “What I Pictured”

Parade
My favorite little town has a Holiday parade every year. It’s my own real life version of Stars Hollow (from the Gilmore Girls which if you’ve never heard of it, is a show that was inspired by it’s creator’s trip to CT. It seems to be trending all these years later, as are Harlmark movies.Continue reading “Parade”
Skills? Lessons?
Yes. Probably. I hope so. This span of my life has been interesting. I’ve stretched and shrunk and spent chunks of time in less than ideal conditions. It’s been more fish-out-of- water time for me than time spent fitting in. I’ve also had some really surprisingly wonderful experiences along the way. I’m learning how toContinue reading “Skills? Lessons?”
First Day
Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc. Heres one. First day, first grade. On my first day of first grade I fearlessly got out of the car and walked up to the doors alone. For whatever reason, I was arriving after the kids were already in classroomsContinue reading “First Day”

(I looked it up, it’s a native Canadian legend myth story). According to the lore from north western indigenous people, the raven executed a complicatedContinue reading “Darkness”
No sleep
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time? Wow. None at all? When I was young I could happily forgo sleep to do things I wanted to do. I chose other things regularly. Nocturnal art. Deadlines, quiet uninterrupted nights, how else was I going to get stuff done? IContinue reading “No sleep”
It’s New England
In late fall. It’s been raining all day. It’s not quite freezing, but it feels like it. It’s dark. I decided to make soup, which meant I had a handful of obstacles to overcome. Supper is at least an hour away, maybe two. I cut myself. We blew a fuse. You can see where thisContinue reading “It’s New England”
Movement
Last night I got a text that yoga was cancelled for this morning. It’s going to rain all day. There might be flooding and 65 mile an hour winds. Schools will be letting out early because of the storm. I’m fully disappointed. No yoga, no walk. This is how I know how much I loveContinue reading “Movement”
Back
I went to visit a couple of my kids. It was a sweet way to celebrate my birthday and Thanksgiving and kick off the holiday season. No one appreciates magic more than children. We managed to pack in many fun moments, so many, that I hardly picked up my phone for most of ten days.Continue reading “Back”
