Today’s post is about pursuing a passion – not just any passion but one that comes from inside of you to persist at a craft or activity that you value, and that might contribute to who you are in the future. Obviously, this spring is much different than the spring most seniors in high school…
PSA: This blog is being temporarily interrupted for a nap! For the last two nights in a row, insomnia has visited me again. I know the reasons. Do I wish to share? No. But, I definitely am feeling the effects of this visit; I am tired, today. Do you nap? Do you find naps helpful?…
Today is the last day of the Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted by TwoWritingTeachers blog. Thus, today I offer a small self-assessment of the experience. I enjoyed writing and connecting with other writers. Although I usually do not overthink my daily posts, for some reason, this month I did do that on occasion. Overthinking…
Today, I was determined to be more productive than I have been over the last two weeks. I have kept busy but not really productive and when I feel like that it ends up bothering me. But, even today, I’ve gone from task to task without much oompf. This morning I worked on a curriculum…
As I explained last week, my usual Sunday posts only contain photographs with or without captions. But, since this month I am writing as part of a writing challenge, I have been prefacing my photos with some text.

Today, I went to our local grocery store to pick up a few things. My husband offered but I have not been out of the house since last Saturday! I told him that I felt I really needed to go as I was getting a little “loopy” from being housebound. I have been on several…
Many of my friends and family have been cleaning out during the extra time spent at home now. I have not done too much of that since I left my job in early October and had some time to do closet cleaning and such well before now. Surely, some spaces could be cleaned out again…
Yesterday, I was antsy. I felt oppressed and unsettled. Being housebound is not going to be easy for me, as I like to run my errands, visit friends for a cup of coffee, have breakfast out with my husband, and even go to the Y to work out. It’s starting to sink in, this common…
During this phase of social distancing and avoiding other humans so as to help flatten the curve of the COVID-19 virus spread, I determined that it is the time to perhaps start writing for a different purpose.
