• Coping With Healing

  Before Thanksgiving I was exploring my options with jobs. There were a couple of interviews that were done and unfortunately one was good for me or it wasn’t good enough for them and I didn’t get a call or email back. One would have been too difficult to train for with all the driving on…

• Writing Prompt:

  If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time? If I could add extra hours I would be doing more of my hobbies that I lose track of time with due to the fact that there are only 24 hours in one day. It’s hard to fit practicing piano with…

• Thoughts of Frustration

  This afternoon they were all stomped into submission. Another weekend of being stomped on literally by bullies had been quite tiresome. This is what happens when you give them half an inch then they want to dictate to you the terms of your submission. Today though, was a good day for a practice session. It…

• The Timing of Pain…

  While preparing for the past weekend familiar pains have resurfaced. Back in October I had a shot in my wrist. It took a good while for that shot to finally dissolve. Thankfully. I only wish it had lasted a bit longer. I am grateful I was able to do both Cantata’s and didn’t realize how…

• What A Perspective!

  So not too long before our Bishop Reunion I got a request. This was a very special request from a young girl. A girl who was about to turn the big Birthday of 10. Our Sunday afternoons at Grandma’s, her Great-Grandma’s has been quite a journey for us. Watching her grow up to this age…

• Family, Time and Projects

  On Friday, we knew it would be a busy day. It was our weekend with our girl and her Daddy’s birthday was on Saturday. Sometimes it’s difficult to know what she will want to do when we pick her up after the long school day. Although we, Mom and I decided we needed a change…

• Pre-Fall Cleaning

  Today I finally decided to clear my table off. For months it has had a variety of things on top of it including my clothes and my nieces clothes. This morning I was able to get everything else off of it in order to actually see the wood once again. This was just the first…

• Saying Goodbye For Now

  This morning I have to admit I was a bit irritated. I got up early and was ready to walk by 7 am. Mom had taken off with my brother to get milk so I got a little flustered by this when we have been trying to get up early to walk and today was…

• Stitchin Crosses

  Lately I have been assuaging a lot of energy into creating some of my own charts. There are times when I have had to get creative and make my own designs. I understand the copyrights for owners of images, but it can be frustrating trying to fully comprehend the ins and outs of the copyright…

• Creatively Blocked?

  Do you ever feel creatively blocked, musically, artistically in whatever medium you work in? Sometimes it’s ironic how I can feel the piano keys better than I can writing during the same day. Or I can write up a storm, but I just don’t have the want to hold a needle that day. I find…
