I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this but I think I'm finally understanding what a boundary is. I've taken classes, read books, watched You Tube videos about boundaries. I knew I needed to work on "having boundaries" but I never could quite get there. The only way I can explain it is … Continue reading I’m in charge here.
Back on the early morning wake up train! 4:30am today. I use the time to write my morning pages, space out and read. It is so quiet. My window faces east and I watch the sun come up. A trip to the grocery store. I had plans to clean, but no cleaning happened. Thomas came … Continue reading Saturday in April
As I sit here at my desk, I have the window open and listening to the peepers. We live in the house I grew up in. We bought it from my parents when they wanted to downsize a few years back. (Interestingly enough, when we lived in New Hampshire, we lived in the house Christian … Continue reading Change
The weather has been really nice this week. We need rain but we are still enjoying the sun. This afternoon I took my journal and my chair and moved it up behind the pool, to the edge of the woods. I sat and let the sun hit my face. Last spring we had some concrete … Continue reading Perspective
I have to be honest here, as I always am. I am really thinking about what I'm doing here writing this blog on a daily basis. Am I sharing too much? Why am I doing this? Is it good for me to write about things while they're happening, or do I need some time and … Continue reading Questioning
I carry my journal with me during the day and I write down thoughts as they come to me. I write down things I notice. I write down ideas. And I write down messages. I never called them messages before but now I can see that's exactly what they are. My schedule has been shifting … Continue reading Messages
There are some things that I just won't write about here. Things that are just too private or too personal, things that involve other people who never signed up for having their lives put in a blog post. It makes it interesting because there are some days where I'd really like to write about those … Continue reading Breaking down
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
I"m in New Hampshire for a few days by myself. Christian is in Massachusetts with the boys. We have a new old home here in New Hampshire. We found our new old home last fall. It's an in-town New Englander, as they call it, built in 1860. The last few months, we've been having some … Continue reading Friday, March 19, 2021
I am sitting in my car as I write this. I'm parked in the back lot of the shopping plaza where Charlie's driving school is located. He's out on his first on-road driving lesson with an instructor. 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
