Thank You For Being a Friend
Today I am going to do something that is long overdue. Today I am going to give thanks to my friend Liz, who helped me turn my life around.
Yes, that may sound dramatic. But a couple of months ago, when I wrote this I was at the end of my rope. I felt as though I was underwater with someone standing on my head, holding me down. I’d set impossible standards for myself and I was failing at them miserably. It was becoming paralyzing. I was so overwhelmed I wanted to run away from it all. But I… Continue reading
Don’t Peeve Me Off!
Wow, a Girl Talk Thursday post from me! And only one day after my last post! Look at me, gettin’ my blog on!
So today’s topic is Pet Peeves. A topic near and dear to my heart, because I have hundreds of them. Needless to say, I had to narrow them down so as not to write a sequel to War and Peace here. Pretty much the entire world annoys me. Well, maybe not the entire world. But a huge percentage of it.

Maybe Tomorrow
It’s been rather quiet here as of late. In all honesty, it may continue that way for a while.
I’m just not feeling the writing these days. Words are exhausting. I wish I could give you an exact reason. The truth is, I’m not sure myself. I have so many thoughts and ideas in my head.

I lurk on… Continue reading
What Will Always Be Missing
Today is just another Tuesday. Except it is not just another Tuesday. Today marks the 20th time another year has rolled around without my dad. Another year that I mourn for what might have been. What should have been.
I don’t grieve in the same way I did 20 years ago. Time has softened my emotions. Grief that once was sharp and raw has now become dull and scarred over. Events, smells and sounds can bring back the memories, but they no longer have the power to cripple me as they once did.
Mostly now, I look at… Continue reading
My 2010
I had an epiphany this morning. I was reading a blog post that I didn’t really care about. I scrolled to the bottom to leave the obligitory comment. I stopped. Why was I leaving a comment? I didn’t really care about the post. I had nothing to contribute, really. So I closed out the browser window. It got me thinking. I do a lot of things out of a sense of obligation. Not because I want to.
I’m going to stop doing that. I’m going to try to put more fun back in my life. I’m going to do more… Continue reading
