Meltdown
I’m having a meltdown of sorts. Yep, that’s right. Me. Not my daughter or my son. (Although had happened today, too.) It’s all just hitting me. It’s hitting all of us. We’ve driven by a few houses and we’ve been less than impressed. I’ve been reading reviews on the various schools and I’m trying to… Continue reading

Let it Go
When I look around, I can easily get spun into a “perfectionist rut”, I start nit-picking. Things aren’t picked up enough. I see every single spot of dirt on the floor. I see the mounds of laundry that await me. I see the dishes that seem to grow friends over night! (Seriously? I just did the… Continue reading

Subtlety: Eagles and Seagulls
Where we live we see plenty of seagulls, as well as a few eagles. The eagles are few while the seagulls flock together and dot the shore in swarms. The eagles are amazing, it’s true. With wings outspread, they seem to soar with ease. I’ve been watching a couple around our area and they are… Continue reading

Happy Mother’s Day
“All is well with my soul.” “These are the best days of my life.” “The days are long but the years are short.” “The best days of your life are when you are raising your family.” These are 4 random statements that have been rolling around in my mind this week. As I sit here… Continue reading

Make My Tummy Go Gooey! (Aka the post with 1000 pictures)
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fear of heights. I remember climbing along rooftops with my father as he was building houses when I was really young, but since about 4 or 5 years old, heights and I do not get along. As a kid, we went to carnivals when they came to… Continue reading

“Real” Friends
Not only was the subject of friendship a WordPress Daily Prompt today, but it’s something that I’ve been mulling over the past few weeks. Last weekend I had the pleasure of running a 5-miler with a dear friend who I haven’t seen outside of cyberspace in 6 months – entirely too long! Catching up with… Continue reading

Eeyore by Nature?
Hiking Kokohead while living in Hawaii was a wonderful experience, but not for the obvious reasons. The view was beyond beautiful overlooking Hanauma Bay. Being able to lookout over the marathon course from that perspective was mind-blowing. Hiking it with a dear friend makes it a forever treasured memory. The encounter we had with… Continue reading

Fitness as a Vehicle
I love working out. Okay, maybe that’s an over-statement. I love the way I feel after I workout. I love the way I can keep up with my kids, I like the strength, and the energy that being fit and pursuing fitness affords. I am clear-headed and more me when I run and workout consistently.… Continue reading

Two Notes
It’s been a week. T-ball fun (and tears), getting difficult news, and capping off the week was a dental appointment that didn’t go well at all. Fillings were to be put in, but after 2 hours of trying to get Jake to drink the sedation medicine, the dentist no longer had time to do them. Jake… Continue reading

Being Open
Three years living in Hawaii encompassed a large amount of sun, beaches, getting fit, and personal growth more than anything. Lessons that I think I have mastered, and then something will come up from behind and smack me upside the head. Recently I was asked to “friend” someone on social media that I’d met a… Continue reading
