Long Time Gone....
It's been a long time since I was here last. So many things have happened to me, with me, and with the people I love and care about.
I am no longer in WA, and am back in MI. I am going through a divorce, and have had my heart broken more than I care to say - it's hard, but it's for the best. I've had COVID twice, and am in my second bout of Long ( Read more... ) -
"Ah, but what if it does?" *big-deep-smile*
Hello all,
There's so much I want to write about, and I have to go get ready to teach. So I will do my best, and then scamper. :-)
Today I want to write about joy and growth, and happiness, and LOVE. I've been reading Hafiz (and re-reading Rumi) today, and have remembered some other old 'friends'... Peter McWilliams (poems) and Hugh Prather ( ( Read more... ) -
So many early-morning thinky-thoughts.... (or: what am I doing up before the light?)
Let's face it,when my brain is full of words (even when those words are feeble in saying exactly what I want to say), I have to core dump sometimes. I will say things wrong, or inadequately, but sooner or later, I do have to express myself. And more often than not, that has been here. I'm working hard lately, to express myself verbally - to talk ( Read more... ) -
Friday, almost 5pm
Hello all,
It's been a full week: full of goings-on, and and growth (as well as a few tears), but mostly full of joy. I am profoundly grateful for all of it. Am heading home soon, to make potato salad (from my Gram's recipe), and to relax and have a Weekend.
More later. For now, a big hug, and "Bardzo dobro wekeendu" to each of you!

Hello pain, my old friend....
So, I hurt my back this weekend....
Yes, it was a bonehead move (leaving my cane at home, and then trying to run for a bus), and yes, I'm paying for it. That said, I really enjoyed the movie (Ant Man and The Wasp), and am glad I went, even though I missed meeting up with some people I'd planned to see, if they were there. It all worked out in the ( Read more... ) -
What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been....
*waves* Yes, it's really me. I am back, at least for a while. :-)
So, I've been writing a bit over at Four Dot Ellipsis (if you want the url, let me know), but other than that, not much. When I started this journal, just over 18 years ago, I never thought I would be where I am now, doing what I am doing now, and living the life I am living now ( Read more... ) -
Once more, with feeling....
Okay, so 2 years and a bit more have gone by, and I am posting here once again. I have been wanting to start writing again, but it may not be regular here. I also have a blog over at veritasfeminae.wordpress.com , so you may want to check over there ( Read more... ) -
Back again, to make a new start?
Hello LiveJournal, it's been quite a long time ( Read more... ) -
Dearest Ian kitty,
It is 3:18 a.m.. I am trying to go to sleep. And while I understand that you are nocturnal, your current meowing -- no matter how pathetic -- is doing little to endear you to me. Please understand that when the sun comes up, & I wake up, I will be happy to use my opposeable thumbs and let you out ( Read more... ) -
Channelling my Inner Introvert lately....
Hello all,
It's been a long while, I know. And I am still working (albeit still temp, but it's work, and hope hops eternal), so things are OK for now. I am really, REALLY missing my car of late, as I want to go see people (and be there for them), but it is a little harder on the bus. I know I should stop whining; I still have my functional feet ( Read more... )
