The color of a migraine is mauve. It looks like a shaky picture taken at night. I’ve had a migraine since Monday and it’s all that I can think about. I hope that when it is over I can remember to be grateful for all of the moments that I don’t have a migraine and […]
I often wonder what it’s like inside other people’s heads. For me it’s like this: I want to watch Home Alone for Christmas. Oh, it would be fun to do a Home Alone theme dinner with Little Nero’s Pizza and ice cream sundaes. I need to go grocery shopping. I wonder what Christmas plays are […]
I read somewhere that gratitude is the single most powerful method of increasing happiness. What with that and it being Thanksgiving it seems like an obvious time to talk about gratitude. I’m grateful for every day of good health I have, for the people in my life, for giving my dog belly rubs, for the […]
Sometimes I feel how breakable I am. A wrist turns a little wrong, an ankle does a funny twist, muscles pull, back kinks, sore necks. Nails break, toes get stubbed, hair gets caught in a zipper and gets pulled out. A germ can make you sick and you can’t even see it. It’s so easy […]
I’m always wishing for more time. I can’t imagine that even after a lifetime I will be satisfied that I’ve had enough. So I am going to do the cheesy things. I am going to do all the things I can. I am going to dress up for Halloween. I am going to watch 80s […]
Wednesday: I’m writing this on Wednesday because I feel bad and I don’t know why. I am on the verge of having 5 and a half days off and they will be filled with wonderful things like hiking, biking, rock climbing and the peak of fall colors in the Adirondack mountains. So why do I […]
I don’t like scary movies. There’s something about them that gets under my skin and into the remnants of the overactive imagination I’ve had since childhood What I do like is actual scary things. Haunted houses, corn fields at night, bats, the rattle of dead leaves behind you on a full moon night, abandoned places, […]
I feel like adult conversations are totally passionless. We talk about our jobs, kids, the weather, the state of the lawn. And I do this too, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like I’m full of so much more, and maybe you are too? I was thinking on Friday about how I wanted to […]
Step 1: Find someone that knows what they are doing Step 2: Have them teach you what to do Step 3: Find some rocks to climb Step 4: Practice Practice Practice (with proper supervision) Step 5: Climb Climb Climb I feel like everything is happening at once. I feel like summer is ending at the […]
Summer is ending again and I don’t honestly know how. I feel like I blinked and missed it. I feel like one minute I was standing on the edge of summer and now I have found myself in a heap at the bottom. I’m trying to be excited about all of the things to come. […]
