Last week, I got an alert that a WordPress update had failed on this blog space. When I went to fix it, I was shocked to see that I hadn’t written anything in almost 3 years. The last life update was when The Mister and I moved 5 years ago, which is poetic since we …

I reject your reality…
I love that quote from Adam Savage. The reality I’m rejecting today is that I’m old enough to have a 21-year-old daughter. Yesterday we celebrated Munchkin’s 21st birthday. Facebook’s On This Day reminded me that 5 years ago today, she got her driver’s license. She then drove her Dad and I back to my house …

The Words We Use
I’ve been trying to write this post for a couple of weeks. My thoughts and feelings balked at being committed to paper. I think I’ve worked through it enough to write now, so we’ll see… First, I read an article on Migraine.com (https://migraine.com/expert/fighting-for-migraine-with-words/) by Dr. William B. Young about how the words we use affect …

2018 Year of Renewal
So it’s a new year. I’m always struck how this arbitrary line in time is given so much importance. I mean, it makes sense. But then it doesn’t, really. Resolutions are made and rarely make it past the first week of the new year, but we still do it, year after year. Wipe the slate, …

I think I’ve been improving my life in the last year, so it’s interesting to see it graphically represented. Companions – My goal this year was to cultivate closer relationships with …

Empty nest… finally.
Well, it finally happened. Munchkin has flown the coop. Shortly before Thanksgiving last year, Munchkin’s dad (Ex#1) passed away after long-standing health issues. As she dealt with cleaning out his hoard (seriously, I’d forgotten how much stuff that man could cram into a closet) she decided she would keep the lease on his duplex and …

End of Year Musings
Well, 2016 is finally winding to a close. My friends who are into numerology tell me that 2016 is a “9” year, one of endings and closure. They say that 2017 is a “1” year of new beginnings. I hope that’s true. Because while there have been good things that have happened for me in …

Life changes and other musings
Wow. Over a month since I’ve posted anything. I plead life changes, grad school, work, and illness as excuses. Life is beginning to look a LOT different than it did pre-op. I’ll post more on that later. It’s interesting to me how we define moments as life-changing. Life before this event and life after this …
