A little bit of pretty.
Quote I’m Thinking About Right Now:
"Be kind. Everyone is fighting a great battle." -St. Athanasious…from one of my many clippings:
"One adventure is over; it is time for another. I have a different kind of work to do now. I am growing into a new season. At the water's edge, watching the tiny, teeming life of that mysterious place between high and low tides, the intertidal zone, I begin to accept the relentless flux that is the condition of these days. I am not old and not young; not betrothed and not alone; not broken and yet not quite whole; thinking back, looking forward. But present. These are my intertidal years. " -I wish I remember who wrote it. It came from the NYT Magazine or Oprah's Mag.-

It’s quiet now.
I keep writing in my head. I guess that’s inevitable; words make me tick. Projects and goals keep me disciplined and accountable. Without them, my time fills. This is reflected both in my quiet blog and in my growing backside. … Continue reading
Infinity Loops.
I did get my miracle. It was nothing I ever saw coming. It was nothing I recognized. My inner chemistry has shifted. I’m still absorbing and looking for words to describe it. A month later, I have only told 3 … Continue reading

These days are tender.
These are 18 hour days. Long days, with multiple tracks and twists too complex for me to do anything but smile and continue moving forward. There is not energy nor time for untangling confusion that is designed like a net. … Continue reading
Happy Friday.
I love me some things about Fridays. I love that they are date night. And if they aren’t date night with Some One Else, I make them date night with Me. And I’m too blue to do even that, there … Continue reading

…help me to accept the things I can not change….
The self-realization of the day: Absorption is not always easy or fast. Struggling to absorb something is not the same thing as refusing to accept it or fighting to change it. Needing time is valid. Even when we understand the … Continue reading
Once upon a time, there was girl. And she was very glad. And then she got lost.
The ocean was tranquil and blue today, with waves like wrinkles in my blanket. I’d spent this morning running hard, pounding out memories and fantasies I didn’t want to dwell on and I went ocean-side wanting more pounding, angry waves. … Continue reading
About those fields of barley….
I wrote my last post and titled it, focused on the Fields of Gold. About a week later we decided to take a local hike recommended by our innkeeper. It was to a bald, a spot called Max Patch Mountain. … Continue reading
