There was once a little girl. She lived in a house next to the woods. She loved her dogs. She loved to read and listen to music and make things in the quiet of her bedroom. She loved to sit under trees with low hanging branches. She loved laying in the grass and exploring the … Continue reading A true woman
I really have been having a hard time writing this every blog every day. How is that for honesty? It's been four months where I haven't missed a day. But, as I sit here at my desk today, I really want to quit. I also know that these last few weeks have been emotionally exhausting. … Continue reading Process
Ohhhhhh I had big plans for today. And they did not happen. I was over at the farm at 6:30 am finishing setting up for opening day. I was back home after a couple of hours. But then the day got away. Big plans for cleaning and organizing and relaxing. Nope, didn't happen. Things (life) … Continue reading Hard Stuff
As I made a cup of tea this morning, I wondered if I might have a problem. I took a photo so I can share with you. I refer to this corner of my kitchen as Pam's beverage area. I have a coffee pot, a hot water kettle, a soda stream to make carbonated water. … Continue reading Thursday, March 25, 2021

He's been driving plenty with Christian over the past few months. Christian says he's a good driver but … Continue reading Wednesday, March 17, 2021
Lately, after dinner, Charlie asks me in the most teenage boy way possible, "You going to do your daily BLOG?" And I say "Yes, I am." Tonight he added, "What are you gonna write in your daily BLOG?" And I thought about it for a bit, "Well, maybe I'll write about today when I went … Continue reading Tuesday, March 16, 2021

When we grow up in a family, we are groomed for a role. Everyone in the family has a role. We're kids when this happens, so we don't have a choice of what role we're assigned. Nobody is saying, Okay Pam, you are the one who puts yourself last. Now go. It's all unconscious. It's … Continue reading Sunday, March 14, 2021
I really like getting up early. I like the quiet time in the house before anyone else wakes up. But, I'm on the 3am-4am wake up schedule again and I can't shake it. And then I'm in bed at 8pm and the cycle continues. So as I write this I am sleepy. Very sleepy. I … Continue reading Thursday, February 4, 2021
