This weekend I fell in a hole as my Darling Husband would say, I spent the weekend slightly out of touch with everything. It was an odd and kind of relaxing weekend. I didn’t accomplish much of anything, except maybe to stay kind of cool and unfocused. It felt unplugged. Today I am grateful for [...]

Today was a day that did not start out like every other one this week.  Today I woke to find the Pixies quietly watching a movie, and it struck me how quickly things are changing around me.  Have I stayed exactly the same as every other day?  It is my wish that I grow a [...]

Today has been long, in a week with with many ups and downs.  The waves rolling out softly, deceptively lulling you into a calm before they come crashing back over over the top, threatening to crush you under their weight.  It is at times hard to remember the purpose you started with.  In trying times, [...]

I am in the midst of a social experiment, also known as my life.  I started my Gratitude Journal again because a comment tossed out in an angry moment has stayed with me for a long time.  You were a nicer person when were doing all that journal stuff.  My husband was right, I am [...]

Sunday July 29, 2012 In an effort to clean up my proverbial act, I think I need to go back to the things that have helped me in the past.   Each night right before I power down I will be listing 5 things I am grateful for.  I invite people to do the same either on their own [...]

Happy Canada Day! Today is  a new month with a fresh new outlook.  Today I am beginning anew.  I am setting some goals and some boundaries – for myself and and my day job.  With each passing day I become more disinterested in in the trivial aspects at work – but I recognize the need to be [...]

After a week of being cut off from the electronic world it is nice to get back to the familiar things.  Wading through a mountain of email, having the pixies argue about what sites to visit, and my Darling Husband (DH) is back to his programming collaboration with the humorous Panos of the Greek Isles, [...]

One of my favorite subjects is strong women. Warriors. Searching for interesting women that strong and have a cause. I found on organization, SWSG.org that works with girls and young women to help them to grow into strong women. The organization works with women that in college to set up a mentoring program for the [...]

Teaching my girls to be spiritual without tying it to a specific religion is challenging in a small community.  I find it interesting that most of the parents are happy to accept that you are not church goers but they do not want to hear anything that is not Christian or Judaism – so for [...]

The best and worst of the weekend is Sunday afternoon.  Guests leave, Pixies argue and whine, tired of each other’s company and so many things.  Have I used my time well? Did I get enough done on the current WIP?  Probably not.  There are days when I feel I got a lot accomplished and then [...]
