We all reach a time when we’re no longer happy where we are. For some it’s just a matter of restlessness, others have grown to a point they need a new challenge, and occasionally it’s just about becoming so uncomfortable where you are that the unknown holds more hope than your present reality. For some…

Pain
They say that pain is a signal that keeps you from causing more damage. Example being, you feel pain when you burn your hand so that you pull your hand away and keep from burning it worse. Sure, I get that. But I’m not so certain that all pain is valuable. Headaches can signal dehydration,…
Give it Up
There are many moments in our life where we feel like giving up. Some times are simple, like a game you’re never going to win even if you keep trying. It can get a bit more serious, like a friendship with someone who is selfish and never takes you into consideration. There are also the…
Day 10: Laugh with Anyone
We had a great day at church, learning, delivering food, enjoying a Thanksgiving meal together and watching a movie. I knew a few people, and they’re great, but there were so many people I didn’t know. At first the room was very full, but as the afternoon went on people trickled out. As the group…
Day 6: Keep traditions
I’m rather forgetful. I wish I was different, that certain things sparked my memory or haunted my thoughts, but nothing sticks for too long. One of the things I’m particularly bad at is dates. I would forget my own birthday was coming if Facebook didn’t remind me of it. So of course, as life often…
Hold on Tight
Life has its ups and downs. We’ve all lived it, a few days where nothing can go wrong, then a week of “blah.” Maybe there were a few months of horrible then a scattered sprinkling of hopeful possibilities. Of course the moments that we deem worthy of sharing of the good ones, the great ones…
A Cup of Tea
Here at work, our department is full of tea drinkers. It seems as if the pot is always boiling or at very least, always hot. Our “chocolate drawer” is actually filled with tea bags. July and August were perhaps our highest months of tea consumption, despite the heat. Even our office plants drink (cooled down,…
Perfect Timing
Sometimes I think I have the greatest friends around. Super kudos to Jeanfranco, who after reading my last blog post brought me a random and surprising present today. My very own baking timer! Now I won’t be burning any more muffins (although there might be an ulterior motive since this way he won’t have to eat burnt…
Gone Fishin’
“So, you’re having a conversation with the Great Spirit, the Creator of All Things, and you’re doing the talking?” – Dharma and Greg, TV show Ok, so this post actually has nothing at all to do with “Gone Fishin’” but I like the thought of just disappearing for a bit into complete solitude. So…
Better than mirrors
So I’ve successfully moved into my new apartment, I’m sure I’ve mentioned that already. It’s not that big, and it’s completely empty, but it’s mine! I’ll fill it up slowly but of course I have a list of “must have asap.” My first investments will be hangers, an oven/stove, mixing bowls, a casserole dish, maybe…
