We sat together, waiting on the long bench in the cold corridor. One woman walked by and asked him a question that he quickly answered. I thought about how I liked her coat. It was sort of like a cape, but with sleeves. I felt comfortable there, next to him, yet truly uncomfortable for being…
In Case of an Emergency
I sat in the comfortable lobby, filling out the short questionnaire about my medical history, as new age music softly played over the speakers. I was so happy to be in the spa, waiting for my first massage in a while. I needed this relaxation time, badly. I filled out the standard information like my name…
Just BE
For several years now, may of us bloggers have chosen a “word for the year”. A couple of years ago my word was Brave and that was a really good year for me in the sense that I was brave in putting my creative self out there, especially the writer side of me. I feel like that could…
Positive Person
I have always considered myself a pretty positive person, but I know sometimes I can also be like Eeyore. I try to be a glass half full, see the bright side kind of gal, but right now, at certain times, that is level 10 difficult. I was talking with a good friend the other night and she went…
The Unexamined Life
People get married and have kids, that’s what they do. If you’re me anyway. Of course there are many people who do not follow that path, but for me it was a “given”. I planned to do those things from a young age, be a wife and mother. In between those dreams I imagined being…

He Said My Name Right
Their home was so welcoming and bright. The first time I went over to meet them I do not remember all the details but I do recall feeling right at home very quickly. The living room at Tim’s grandparents’ home was one of my favorite places when we were first dating and it was the…
Big and Little Moments
Do you ever wonder if one little moment or decision in your life could have changed your future? Your destiny? I have thought about this before because Tim and I met on a weekend when it was a good possibility that only one of or us or neither of us could have been present in…
Wasted time is so 2014
The puppy dog and I walk down the street, the sun on our faces like a welcomed greeting from an old friend. It is just a few days into this new year. I left my phone sitting on the desk in the kitchen. I think twice – I should have brought it. What if someone…
The Miracles
“It is a miracle if you can find true friends, and it is a miracle if you have enough food to eat, and it is a miracle if you get to spend your days and evenings doing whatever it is you like to do, and the holiday season – like all the other seasons –…
