I thought it would be fun to carve out a spot here to capture my thoughts, musings, reflections, etc., which are for the most part going to be snippets of life here at the lake. Or maybe thoughts that I just tossed out. Possibly photos from the porch and from around the lake. Probably shorter [...]

Holy Week.
Holy Week. The sun is shining here, amidst gray, blue, and white clouds. After a tragic week of destructive storms across the country, the bright sun, reflecting off the tiny buds of new green tree growth is welcome. During rain and high winds, our neighborhood often loses power, and we have many downed trees. But [...]
Change
Credit: My HusbandView: From our church, EastLake Community#unedited Often, we hear that “change is hard.” What about when change is good? Setting up a new space for myself downstairs has been good. Fun, even. Strolling through the house and pulling items I want to have in my new space…vintage jars to hold my pencils and [...]

Hey Friends. This has been my view for a week or so now. I’ve been working on websites, organizing my life, journaling, and eating Oui yogurt. (TMI but the dairy is killing me, so this is the last one for a while.) That’s my life right now, so nice chatting with you okay bye. I [...]
May 25, 2019. Finding my niche.
Hey there friends. I’m doing some writing homework this morning and thought I would share a short bit of it with you. This writing thing…why am I doing it? What do I have to say? How do I say it? The why: I have always been “a writer.” Since I was a little girl. I [...]

Mid-May and the high today is forecasted to be 60. I. am. LOVING IT. I'm sitting on the porch, it's currently 50 fun-lovin-degrees, and my coffee is hot. So. This whole writing thing. Whose idea was it anyway? It is hard, man. H-A-R-D. Not the words. I've got tons of words. It's the discipline of [...]

I am currently in the midst of the worst fibromyalgia flare-up to date. They usually occur after a time of great stress...when, in the midst of a stressful time, I stop taking care of me. I eat the wrong things. Drink too much caffeine. Have an extra glass of wine at night hoping it will [...]
Autumn.
November 1st fell on a Sunday this year. For someone who always thinks of Fall and the beginning of the Holiday Season as the true beginning of a New Year (like me) this was magical. Maybe it has to do with being raised Episcopalian and the liturgical year begins with Advent?In any case, the leaves [...]
A New Thing.
I'm all about new things. Starting new; starting fresh; starting over. I always seem to start on Monday. No matter what it is.As I sat down this morning to work on my bible study lesson for the day, I felt a nudge to put the workbook aside and just open up my bible and read. [...]
