Contemplating…

Conversation this morning:

Me: I’m contemplating having some of that chicken and vegetables we had last night. Daughter: Do you believe her? She contemplates what she’s contemplating to do!

I love my kids. I love their takes on my personality and who I am. Listening to my kids talk about me is better than looking . . . → Read More: Contemplating…

Vacation Day – LOL!

Boston daughter and friend arrived around nine last night. We sat up talking and working on a Bota Box of wine. Some time around 2am my daughter swung her arm, her wine glass broke, and we called it a night. I said goodnight to them and went to bed because I told them I was . . . → Read More: Vacation Day – LOL!

Busy Day

The gang arrives for the holiday weekend tonight. This morning finds their room still filled with all the stuff I couldn’t find a place for when redoing an upstairs room. The dining room is littered with the mess from redoing the downstairs bedroom. The bathrooms need attention and then there’s the floors. I could feel . . . → Read More: Busy Day

With Ease

Walking over to turn off the nightlight this morning, the smell of the marsh at low tide wafted through the window and caught my attention. I spent a few moments with my arms and chin on the windowsill gazing out on a beautiful rainy Cape Cod morning. The fog covered marsh across the road had . . . → Read More: With Ease

My View From the Back

Today when I entered the hot room, a group of my friends were set up congregated in the third and fourth rows. I decided, after being forced to vacate my front row left corner last Friday by the teacher, I would venture into the back row today. Of course, I headed to the back right . . . → Read More: My View From the Back

No Expectations

Today I spent a lovely afternoon in South Dennis attending a presentation by Nicola Burnell, publisher of Cape Women Online magazine, about the four classes she will be offering this summer. The classes deal with exploring your creativity, being the author of your own future, writing stories that define who we are, and finishing a . . . → Read More: No Expectations

It Really Is All About “Trusting the Process”

Absolutely beautiful morning on the beach. I have warm sun, sparkling waves, and even a couple of soaring parasailors. In front of me, just on the shoreline, a piping plover skips and flitters along the water’s edge. I know it’s an adult because the babies are still incubating in their eggs in the nests on . . . → Read More: It Really Is All About “Trusting the Process”

A Little Off-Balance

Today I walked into the hot room and set up in the second row. A friend came in and said, “Are you sure you don’t want to go up front?” She wanted my spot, but she also knew I’d spent the better part of the spring in the first row, in the corner right up . . . → Read More: A Little Off-Balance

It’s Not Drama! Who Knew?

Yesterday was one of those days where bad news of death, misfortune, and broken relationships hit me from all sides, along with those “I’m not talking to you!” “Fine!” conversations. A day that would be normally deemed high drama. And now, just flashing at the top of my screen, Donna Summer just died. (RIP Donna) . . . → Read More: It’s Not Drama! Who Knew?
