Beautiful World

This isn't working for me anymore. At least, not right now. I used to be able to just write here and then go live my life. I can't s...

I've known this about myself for a long time. I've tried to articulate it to people. Some have allowed me space and made it clear th...

Therapist suggested it might help me understand what I need if I could articulate what the feelings I'm sorting through are, exactly--an...

I'm not complaining. I know the stuff I'm going through right now is necessary and a means to an end. I understand that it's all...

I often worry about people I care about. I worry when they're sad or stressed or just feeling out of sorts. I worry when they have somet...

I've spent a lot of time during the past ten days thinking. During the month of June I had no days off. And there were too many days to ...

I spoke with Therapist on Tuesday. I didn't blog abut immediately because what he had to tell me wasn't necessarily what I wished to...

When I become tired, everything is not awesome. And today I'm very tired. I have been feeling increasingly isolated during the past mo...

We are well into the gorgeous summer days which remind me why I love it here. They're bittersweet this year as Darrin applies for jobs w...

Talking about things doesn't always make sense anymore. There was a time when it was crucial for me. Not talking led to the feeling that...

Last time I spoke with Therapist we talked about my nightmares. He asked me what happened in those. I said I didn't know. I didn't w...

I know. I need to talk to Therapist. But I want to wait until I can talk like a person. It's sort of ridiculous to go to someone for hel...

Before I could begin with my grand intentions to finish what I began so long ago, my grandmother passed  away. She would be 98 next month. I...

I'm back. I'm not back because I miss this place and can't do without it, but because I'm finishing what I started a decade ...

Let's talk about Josh Duggar. And while we're at it, let's say a little bit about pedophiles, sexual abuse, and other topical de...

This blog is finished. But every once in awhile I need to write something that can't go in the blog I now use-- the one under my real ...

I'm supposed to be writing a lesson plan about Bartok and fashioning it so that it can be delivered by one of my graduate assistants in ...

I am feeling fierce once again. That sounds weird unless you know me. It used to be a part of who I am. I was fiercely determined to do wh...

It's getting too cold to run outside in the mornings. I'm toying with the idea of a morning gym visit (weights and treadmill) and a ...

1. I haven't talked about this here because I didn't want to talk about it at all. But about a ten days ago, while visiting Utah, my...

A long time ago there was a David in my life. He was young. He spent time with me and with my family. We loved him. I believe we love him st...

This morning a hot air balloon, complete with enthusiastically waving riders, floated over the house across the street. Not something you se...

Sometimes it helps to talk about things here. And I've sort of been doing it in conjunction with this topic for about 8 months now-- sin...

1. Cooking with AtP and Brozy. And trying crazy foods with them. And laughing just because it's fun to be together. 2. Playing with Bo...
