When I got home from work yesterday I just wanted to crawl back into bed. Don’t worry, I am not upset or depressed. I just wanted to sleep. Why is it when someone says they want to crawl into bed, we sometimes assume they are downtrodden? If I read that first sentence from someone else,…
On the Side of Him
There’s a phrase Brandon uses, “on the side of me” or “on the side of you”, which I never really heard until I started dating him. Many times he has said to me, while talking on the phone, “I wish I was on the side of you right now.” Of course I knew what he…
On Forgiveness
I’ve held a few grudges in my life. Like the time a girl in my third grade class made a comment about how chubby I was, while playing kickball during P.E. one day. I knew her until we graduated from high school and I never wanted to be around her or talk to her after…
Goal-Less
Even though it may not look like it on paper, I accomplished quite a bit in 2017. Not everything that happened is considered positive (like a divorce becoming final) but I guess in some cases, it is all in the way you look at it, right? 😉 I did move house, find a new job…
Going on a Date
I brush my hair in front of the mirror that I have used for almost eight years. The counter below is probably coated in a few layers of hairspray and has always been too low for my liking, even though I am short. This mirror has seen me postpartum and post cry. I have taken both mental…
I Trust in You
The first word of this post should be Jesus, with a comma after it. So, the post should really be titled Jesus, I Trust in You. I didn’t use that title because I want people to be open to reading this and I am guessing there are many people that would not if I put the name…
Clarity
When I was a teenager I would sit on the floor in my bedroom, right behind the door. There was a full length mirror on the back of my bedroom door and while sitting there, I would stare deep into my own eyes. I would do this for a while, until I got this strange feeling, like…
Can You Be Humble?
This time of the year always reminds me how many people are less fortunate than I. And I mean in more ways than just what I have or possess. I also mean in the way of family, support and general love. I have so much of those things surrounding me, it truly is a miracle….
This Dog
When we decided to get a dog back in the summer of 2014, I was completely on board. I wasn’t so sure about the puppy part but someone in this house at the time wanted THIS kind of dog for a long time, so we decided the best route to go was to get a…
A Few of My Favorite Things
I have a new desk in the office at the house and actually, the entire office is all for me now (there’s gotta be SOME positive to this new life situation…) so, the two work surfaces have things on them that I like. A lamp, flowers, a candle, trinkets from the kids, a favorite mug,…
