This has been and continues to be a scary time. Uncertainty, hidden threats around any and every corner, so many things to remember. Wash your hands, don’t touch your face, remember what you did touch and sanitize all of it, everything, all the time, stand 6 feet away, wear your masks, don’t go out butContinue reading “All These Things”

To Be Grateful
It’s Thanksgiving. I’m thankful, and grateful, for so many things… the people in my life who I love and who love me, the warmth of the sun on a cold day, cuddles with the pups, a cup of hot coffee with just the right amount of half and half, a good story, the birds atContinue reading “To Be Grateful”
“But if you love…”
“But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake atContinue reading ““But if you love…””
49 For 49
I turned 49 a few days ago. No, I’m not really 50 something and just using 49 as my sticky-post age. I’m 49. I’m not fazed. Not being fazed is a good thing. I have never been a person who was affected by my age. I turned 16, 21, 25, 30, 40, etc. with noContinue reading “49 For 49”
Thankful Everyday – Day Twenty-Nine
29. I’m thankful for travel. I’m lucky enough to have been a few places. K and I love to experience a new place; the people, the smells, the tastes, the culture, a window into the way people live their lives. We love this. I’ve loved it since I was young and our family headed outContinue reading “Thankful Everyday – Day Twenty-Nine”
Thankful Everyday – Twenty-Eight
28. I’m thankful for film. I love going to the theater, buying the tickets, finding seats, lights go down, previews play, some guy sitting somewhere coughs, the sounds of people munching popcorn, music comes up, and then… action. Movies open us to worlds we don’t know, lives we haven’t lived, places we’ve never been, feelingsContinue reading “Thankful Everyday – Twenty-Eight”
Thankful Everyday – The Twenty-Seventh
27. I’m thankful for sunsets. I was just working on my photos over at Flickr and came across several lovely sunset photos. Nothing creates a sense of awe and peace and wonder quite like a good sunset. Nature made, they are wonderful things to behold.
Thankful Everyday – The Twenty-Sixth
26. I am thankful for beautiful architecture. I’m fascinated by building. Not the building I have done, which is none, or might do, which is also probably none, but by the amazing structures all around me. Capturing form, light, and harnessing the marriage between use and beauty, I am constantly in awe of form, everywhere.Continue reading “Thankful Everyday – The Twenty-Sixth”
Thankful Everyday – The Twenty-Fifth
25. I am thankful for poetry. e.e. cummings, pablo neruda, w.h. auden, william carlos williams, sylvia plath, h.d., charles bukowski, poe, whitman, longfellow, yeats, thoreau, tennyson, shakespeare, frost, dickinson and on and on. I’ve spent hours enjoying beautiful words written by amazing minds and hours trying to write my own words. These words have enrichedContinue reading “Thankful Everyday – The Twenty-Fifth”
Thankful Everyday – Twenty-Three
23. I’m thankful for my grandparents. Bill and Martha were the best. They gave us all, and there are a lot of us, such a great sense of family and fun and strength and curiosity and acceptance and love. I’ve written about them here and here and here and so many other times on this blogContinue reading “Thankful Everyday – Twenty-Three”
Thankful Everyday – The Twenty-First
21. I am thankful for the birds in our backyard. I’ve never really been a bird person. I like looking at them, am amazed by them, but haven’t ever really been into them. Until now. My honey loves birds. She loves animals of all kinds actually, but she really digs on the birds in ourContinue reading “Thankful Everyday – The Twenty-First”
