On Writing

Today I almost forgot that I needed to write a blog post. For once it wasn’t because I wanted to make an excuse to not write (which happens more often than I care to admit). No, today I almost forgot because I was already in the writing sphere, just operating in a different hemisphere.

Grateful Heart

It’s been a big year. I have a lot to be thankful for. My thoughts feel a bit scattered—my gratitude covers so many areas of my life that it’s overwhelming. So, to organize my thoughts, here is a list of some of the things I’m thankful for, in no particular order.

Sometimes it’s Not About the Degree

Honestly, I wanted to get this post up last Sunday, but didn’t have the time or energy to get it done before bedtime—you read that right. Bedtime. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to share, or how I wanted to share it. We had a day full of activity and didn’t get home until later in the evening.

Living Life in Transition

This past week I was fortunate to visit with several friends that I don’t get to see very often. On Tuesday, I got lunch with my cousin who lives in Michigan. Thursday night we had family supper with all of my aunts and uncles on my dad’s side and most of my cousins. Yesterday morning I sat in a coffee shop in Hastings, NE with a teacher friend while I waited for my car to get new tires. And this morning a friend from college was in town for a family wedding and I got to have coffee with her for a couple hours.
