So a flood is coming. The man has been warned. He sees the waters rising. He’s standing in his front yard praying for God to save him when another man floats by on an inner tube. The man on the tube says, “Hey, there’s room on my tube. You better come with me.” The first man says, “I’ll be alright. God will save me.” Continue reading →

Recipe For Moving On
Apparently life is not waiting for me to catch up. It’s time to put an end to my little pity party, round up the soggy wads of kleenex, wipe the mascara from under my eyes and move on. Ever since the kids could walk, I’ve asked them to go get a kleenex when they see someone is hurt or crying. It’s not because I wanted them to wait on me. But handing someone a kleenex when they are crying is a great way to show you care when you don’t know what the hell to say. It’s better than standing there waiting for the sobbing person to tell you, “Go get a kleenex, already.” On Tuesday night, Will wised up and brought me the whole box. There’s too much to do, too much to plan, and too much to anticipate to spend anymore time licking my wounds. Enough is enough. Continue reading →

Ditch The Heels
Yet if a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got? If she never takes off her high-heeled shoes, how will she ever know how far she could walk or how fast she could run?

Let Me In
These prints belong to Rita, the world’s most patient cat. She left them on the front step while she patiently waited for one of us to remember to let her in. I hope this last day of February finds you happy and healthy. I hope that you have let in those you love, and that those you love have let you in, too.

Who Are You?
There is still snow on the ground, but the days are getting longer. Will just informed me that Spring will arrive in 28 days. The angle of the sun makes things melt like crazy, even if the temperature doesn’t warrant it. And while eating lunch today, we marveled at the icicles and how they go from dripping slowly to dripping continuously, and then back to a slow drip. You can hear the birds chirping and almost smell the wet soil, where the sun has melted the snow and warmed the earth a bit. Continue reading →

Love Notes and the Narcissist
I stepped out of the shower this morning, head full of what to make for dinner; are they on track for home schooling; did I figure the taxes correctly; gotta order some firewood …. And I found this on the bathroom floor — a love note from Jenny. Sweet words sung to the tune of ‘Clementine’. It doesn’t get much better than that. Continue reading →

Life Moves Fast
Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in awhile you could miss it.
