The winter solstice has come. Each day will get a little longer and a little lighter. I think about how things happen by degrees. Each day feels cold and bleak and the same and the same and the same and then all of a sudden, it’s summer again. And fall again. And winter again. And […]
All I want for Christmas is to climb forever. I want to see all of the high places. I hope for the holidays you find a passion that leads you to new heights, metaphorical or literal.
The tenor of things changes come winter. The days are so short. But there’s still the same amount of time. It’s exhausting. This weekend saw me going from a holiday party to driving around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights. In the morning I got up to have breakfast with my nieces and Santa. From […]
For years we have been waiting for a stray cat to arrive at our door so we could give it a forever home. Well, he arrived at someone else’s door but came home to live with us in the end. This is Mac. Someone abandoned him even though he is sweet, smart and beautiful. It’s […]

We can never know what we do to them in their minds. I think this sometimes. I don’t know where I heard it or if I even heard it anywhere, I can’t find the source by googling. I think this when someone’s casual comment or action stings. I think it when people get hurt. I […]
Sometimes I wish I could take a rest day from life. Like it’s easy to take a rest day from exercise, because who really wants to do that anyway? But life?
