You know that thing that happens sometimes, where you suddenly realize you’re lost in your thoughts and you come to and it’s like you were somewhere else completely? That’s been happening to me a lot lately. I feel like there is so much happening right now in my life, that I’m constantly spinning. At […]
Day 64
Happy birthday Mom! I know you don’t read this, and I said this when I saw you earlier but I’m saying it again. 🙂 1. Red lipstick. It feels like that kind of day. And I make it look good… 2. I discovered a new song, Surfacing, by Chapel Club. It’s dark and pretty. It’ll be […]
Day 63
Its a weird day. Started out with a stomach ache, that turned into sharp pain, which faded with Tylenol enabling me to go to work. Once there, I was in a funk for a few hours before something (and I’m not really sure what) made me laugh and I’ve been in a good mood since. […]
Day 62
A word of advice, friends. Never leave your home in the company of small children without eating first. Don’t care if you aren’t hungry. Bring a snack. Even if you think it’s a short trip, do this. Trust me. You don’t want to make a snack stop when you’re broke, exhausted on caffeine fumes and […]
A LetterÂ
April 25th, 2014 Good morning Mom, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help in getting me back to sleep at 3 am. I know that must have been difficult for you to wake up so early. I’m not sure what time I woke up, but since you always make […]
Day 61
I’m exhausted. It’s been a very long day. 1. It was finally nice outside. It’s been rainy for a long time it seems, so a sunny warm day was just what the doctor ordered. 2. A friend called me today when she couldn’t reach her sponsor to ask my advice. It warmed the cockles of […]
Day 60
Two whole months of positive thinking! Go me! It’s amazing to me how much this has changed my outlook on life. In these past 60, I can literally only think of two days where it was difficult to find positive things in my day, and while those two days I stretched really hard I still […]
Day 59
My basic rule for life right now: don’t be an asshole. It’s harder than it sounds. My daily reading hit right on what I was feeling this morning: August 17 Daily Reflections RIGHTING THE HARM In many instances we shall find that though the harm done others has not been great, the emotional harm we […]
Day 58
I’m grieving today. It kind of hit me today, that the door for purchasing a home is closing. Or maybe it was always closed and I fooled myself by twisting the doorknob. It seemed like it was all lining up, I was approved for a loan back in June. I had a realtor, there were […]
Day 57
It’s been a DAY. One of those days. Spill your coffee all over your desk and paperwork at work and spill pickle juice all over your dress and the entire kitchen at home kind of day. Someone in Pakistan tried to hack my Facebook. Yes. Facebook notified me that someone in Pakistan attempted to access […]
