Tick Tock, I’m on the Clock. Eggs to check. Caterpillars to feed. Butterflies to release. Tick Tock, I’m still on the Clock. Jewelry to make. A website to finish. Gallery pieces to mail. Tick Tock, I’m on the Clock Again. School obligations start. A senior year looms. Forms, forms, and more forms. Beckon…
If you read my middle of the night post, you know I was visited by my unwanted friend named Insomnia. Fortunately, I am able to arrange my work schedule to fit my needs and was able to leave at 11:30 a.m. today. I napped from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.. So, although I feel tired, I…

I have been on a quest to be healthier. It has been a quest for a while now and I’ve made nice progress in some areas, while not a lot of progress in others. I am happier, more content, and more comfortable in my own skin. I’ve realized what brings me joy. But, I am…
It was no surprise that I had a little visit from my friend, Insomnia, last night. We are in the midst of a very busy week. School started for my son and I on Tuesday. We also celebrate two birthdays this week. It is a time of transition and that is the time my friend…
Over the years, I have known many of my friends to take time away from their families. Mind you, this isn’t, and not meant to be, an extended break. Most of it consists of a day or a weekend; some might possibly take a week. The time spent away might be a trip required for…
