The Really Great Spring Day
I am sitting in Santa Barbara. It is one of my days off on either side of the once-a-month weekend I'm required to work. The weather is beautiful; the skies are ceylon blue with clouds that progress from fog-like wisps to billowing bulbous balls of fluff and then fade behind the summit of the San Ynez mountains.

You prayed with me but in the end, prayers wouldn't make a difference for you ( Read more... ) -
Blessings
There are things in my life that are not so good right now which a few weeks ago, I thought would be stellar. I changed jobs and it isn't working out well for me. However, I am being protected and I feel that. My orientation was a disaster as I had to go into an office daily and try to be on time for work. My depression and other lifestyle ( Read more... ) -
drafts and half posts
I wrote this nearly 2 years ago. It is incomplete but I like it regardless. There is so much more to say mostly about healing being a journey of fits and starts, about how the pain in the world has set me back abour ten years, how I secretly hate facebook for its' pretentiousness and derision but how I cling to it for the fast food version of ( Read more... )
