Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful, talented, loving Mom! You are at the top of my gratitude list today for uncountable reasons… thank you for bringing me into this world, for raising me to be a good person, and for your unconditional love (even during the times when I wasn’t particularly easy to [continue reading…]
After another morning (and a sleep-in Saturday, no less!) of being woken by the repetitive, droning sound of a big truck’s backup beeping as its operator moved piles of dirt from one part of our street to another, I thought another reminder of urban serenity and simple magic was in order. Hope you [continue reading…]
My choice to share yesterday’s Urban Serenity post was rather timely, I must say. I got up this morning and started the process of getting ready for the day and, right in the middle of brushing my teeth, watched with dismay as the water slowed to a trickle and then finally stopped altogether, leaving [continue reading…]
Revisiting a short piece I wrote a couple of years back, mostly as a reminder to myself that the noisy, dirty, disruptive roadwork currently taking place on our street – and, some days such as today, shaking our house to its very foundations – hasn’t always been there… and is definitely not [continue reading…]

Some days, I wonder how anything ever gets done in this world. I mean, seriously – between passing the buck, walking on eggshells, covering our collective butts, skirting the issues, and trying not to step on anyone’s toes, so much of our precious time seems to be wasted on stumbling around [continue reading…]
Congratulations to everyone who made it through the Blogging from A to Z Challenge this past month – it was quite a ride, wasn’t it?! I had a fantastic, creative, and busy time throughout April as I worked on my own Tangling from A to Z challenge theme, took advantage of the fact that [continue reading…]
What’s on your gratitude list today? In spite of another week of noisy, disruptive roadwork on our street, my gratitude list is full to bursting. Spring is here, fun and friends abound, and life is good!
