I’m pretty much known in my family (maiden home included) for being the one all about cracking up. What do I mean? I seek for and thoroughly enjoy funny things, events, comments, memes, video clips, you name it. If it’s funny, I’ve got to see it. And when I laugh, it’s from the depth of…Read more Hardy-har-har.
Parent away!
Boy am I learning a lot in this journey of being a parent. One major thing, which I’ll dwell on today, is the issue of laziness. Now, I realize I haven’t gone far in the parenting deal. There are people who are parents of 6-year-olds, 12-year olds, 30-year-olds. So I’m clearly just beginning. I’d…Read more Parent away!
Gracefully aging
It would appear that everybody is running away from those first hints of wrinkles, that first turn of gray in the hair. At first glance, I’d be quick to say: I don’t blame them.

That 139 song
My hubby will laugh that I’m actually writing a post about this, but what else could I do? I’ve listened to that song incessantly since I first heard it a few weeks ago. It grabbed my heart. Captured my imagination. Stirred my soul. When that happens, and you live and breathe a song, it oozes…Read more That 139 song
The intolerance of tolerance
Nowadays, the big thing in the US (as it was in Europe when I lived there years ago) is tolerance. It is the current zeitgeist. On the surface, there seems nothing wrong with it. After all, the idea is that we should be open to people who are other than us, accept them, be loving…Read more The intolerance of tolerance
Thoughts on this?
Because I know I'm not the only one who experiences occasional thunderstorms. I realize that the following is a pretty incomplete sentence ("Life isn't ABOUT waiting for the storm to pass..."), but what do you otherwise make of it?
The Martha Syndrome
You’re perhaps familiar with the idea behind this by just reading the title, but let me go a little deeper. By nature, I like a clean, tidy place. Now, I’m not just speaking about my liking cleanliness, but I’m letting you know that having organized spaces are a big deal to me. Everything needs to…Read more The Martha Syndrome
This thing called Life.
Today I’ve decided to write on life. The everyday, the normal, the tedious. I happened to be thinking of this the other day when I was feeling super worn out from taking care of my kids, a day I found myself wondering when night would come. Or more, if there’d happen to be a sliver…Read more This thing called Life.
