For Just This Moment
For just this moment I want to cry. I want to be mad. I want to scream. Like any other doctor appointment, I come with my emotional armor. I’ve been through this what seems like a thousand times before; I get my hopes up that this time, this time, it will be fine. He won’t… Continue reading

I Don’t Wanna…
Today’s daily prompt: The internet is full of rants. Help tip the balance: today, simply be thankful for something (or someone). Waking up this morning, after too little sleep and a rotten mood, I come down to find the daily prompt above waiting for me. Ugh. I try to be a Positive Polly most of… Continue reading

Daily Prompt: 6 Word Story
Today’s prompt is to write a 6-word story of what the future holds, then expand on it in a post. “More of this, less of that.” More fun things, less have-to-do obligations More reading and writing, less time wasting More working out, less procrastinating More menu planning, less asking, “what’s for dinner?” More slow, less… Continue reading

I read other blogs and kept seeing the tag “DP Challenge”. Not knowing what it was, I came across WordPress’ Daily Prompt blog and, as the title suggests, offers daily topic prompts.

Katy’s family is currently serving our country overseas. “Each time my family is separated in defense of this “Great Nation” I… Continue reading

Arriving
July makes me reflective. July 2011, I joined a “little workout class”, that forever changed the trajectory of my (and my family’s) life. The left side of this image is what I looked like at that time: (Note the TWO pieces of cake! Gross!) I was in a size 16 (barely), should have been a… Continue reading

On Transitions
I don’t like transitions. Point A is fine. Point B is great. The messiness of the in between is scary and uncertain. I don’t like the messiness. At all. And for me, this applies to multiple areas of my life. In potty training my daughter, the convenience of Pull-Ups is great. But, I am overjoyed at… Continue reading

To The Beginner
It sucks starting something new. Having hope is scary. I know, you’ve had hope before and then it didn’t work. You see those skinny chicks and wonder how it would be to live like that. You think, “I’d be happy in my life, if only I looked like that.” Staying the same just isn’t an… Continue reading
