What have I worked on this week? I am a reflective thinker. Perhaps, too much so. I find that sometimes all my thinking stalls my actions and prevents forward movement. I get caught up in questions such as, what should I do now? What would be most productive? Should I stop editing and put those…
My husband makes a daily stop at one of our convenience stores. He’s gotten to know the staff – not really by stopping but because he was the company physician for a while. And, one of our sons worked at this older branch of the store for slightly over a year. One of the store…

I do not have anything planned in the near, or even far, future. Regardless, I felt compelled to order the materials! After…
Between your walls all those years ago. What was it like? Were you cold in the winter or did your fire keep you warm? Trees from the woods made your walls. Old oaks from a savanna that is no more, now covered with buckthorn galore. We know their age from counting their rings, the trees…
As previously written, I committed myself to reading at least 20 books this year. It was a lofty goal, but one I thought important to motivate me to read more. I love reading but sometimes life gets in the way or I end up being too tired at night to read more than a few…
