March 31 #sol22 I didn’t know I could write my very own blog entries every single day for a month. I didn’t know that some days words would fly out of my fingers faster than I can type, and other days I’d need to dig and dig to find them. I didn’t know that people, … More What I Didn’t Know About Myself
March 30 #sol22 I struggle with meditation, as I can’t keep my head quiet. I remember the conversation I had with colleagues where I found out not everyone has a mind that is never quiet. If I’m not gnawing over something I did, didn’t do, could have done, or should have done, I’m thinking about … More A Different Way to Meditate
March 29 #sol22 Today during our faculty meeting we were asked to find someone with the same birthday month, and then share a picture on our phone that made us feel happy when we looked at it. It was SO easy to find one – I could have easily found a hundred. Last fall my … More Thousand Steps
March 28 #sol22 I am constantly almost lost. Don’t ask me which way to go, because I will probably tell you the wrong way – but not on purpose! Just yesterday Greg and I decided to take a drive in the afternoon. As we got onto one road I’ve been on before, I couldn’t help … More Which Way Do We Go?
March 27 #sol22 Yesterday was a first for me. Well, it’s a first after two years and two weeks, which is how long it has been since I went to a gym. For years I’ve used exercise as a way to stay healthier, mainly so I don’t have to give up brownies. Yum! The upheavals … More Exercising Tales
March 26 #sol22 So, if you’ve read any of my slices this week, you’ll know it’s been a week. In case you haven’t, here is the short version. Kid 2 turned 27 (!) on Monday. I did get to spend time with him on Sunday. But Wednesday would have been my mom’s 82 birthday. She … More I Love Parades, Even Short Ones
March 25 #sol22 This year we have a writers group supporting the Slice of Life challenge. In the group last night, we tried an activity called, “What do feelings sound like?” Someone named a feeling and we all made whatever noise popped into our heads that represented that feeling for us. Surprised, frustrated, delighted, lonely. … More Give a Literal Voice to a Feeling
March 24 #sol22 I can’t get the pictures I scanned through this weekend out of my mind. It seems like Greg and I have been going places since we started dating. We had only been dating a few months when Greg asked if I would like to join him and his daughter in NYC for … More Journeys through Pictures
March 23 #sol22 If you read yesterday’s post, you will know why today is hard for me. (But hey, I’ve only cried once so far today, although today isn’t over yet…) I decided I needed to focus on some of the joys I caught from my parents, even though neither lived long enough to know … More Taking a Look at the Joys
March 22 #sol22 Yesterday my middle “kid” turned 27. How is that possible?? How is it that time goes by so slowly and yet so quickly? I remember days thinking, “This week is SO long!” or “I can’t wait until he is able to walk” (or whatever the next stage would be). Then, boom! He’s … More March Memories
