Today we celebrated my husband’s birthday. I try to make the day as special as possible for him, but at the end of every birthday I wish I could have done so much more. He deserves the biggest party, the most presents, the tastiest cake, and thousands of well wishes from friends. But unfortunately there’s…

Day 42: Secrets
This morning as I was driving to work, NPR was playing an interview with an author and poet, though I don’t remember his name. He was discussing his work and views on many subjects. He kept referring to two upcoming “secret” projects, books he wanted to write. A few minutes later he mentioned a booklet…
Day 41: Mindless
Twas the night before the night before Christmas, and all through the house not a creature was stirring, but mostly because we only have plants, no pets. I’ve never seen evidence of any mice here, but I guess there is a squirrel in our roof, so maybe that counts. Anyway, he is not stirring either….
Day 40: Energy
Doing something for someone you love can renew your energy. Many people have probably noticed this as parents, or with other family members. I’ve noticed this often with my husband. We’ll both be tired, but the moment one’s feeling dizzy or a headache, the other can automatically do anything. So much of our state is…
Day 38 & 39: Camping & Beets
Day 38: It was turning into one of those nights. You know, the nights you don’t remember after 2 or 3 days. Daniel and I were both scrolling through our respective Facebook feeds, half watching something on TV out of the corner of our eyes. But something in me snapped and I thought to myself,…
Day 37:Hugs
There are some problems that just a hug can solve.
Day 36: Useful pain
A few days ago, as I was scrapping ice off my windshield (yes, it’s that time of year once again), in my adorable boots, I rolled my ankle. I’ve had much worse but usually when doing something that deserves it. I’ll heal, so there’s no need to worry. No bruising, no swelling, nothing to prove…
Day 35: Silence
gratisography.com The haunting sounds of Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence may reflect most appropriately what I was feeling last night. “Silence like a cancer grows…” Silence is powerful; it can be restorative, inspiring, unsettling, dangerous, terrifying or painful.
Day 34: Read
I’ve seen plenty of sources citing that we don’t read anymore. While I remember this everytime I read through the comments section in magazine articles (you can’t comment on the title alone people!) there is still a fair share of reading going on. We spend hours reading through our Facebook or Twitter timelines. I’ll admit,…
Day 33: Marriage is a classroom
Today we reached a milestone. A whole year of marriage! I’m sure that now makes us experts. Tonight we sat down and chatted about what we’ve learned in this year and what our goals are for the next. As we laid out our goals and objectives I began to understand something. Marriage is a opportunity…
