snow

Okay...I know...it's been like weeks since I've posted. I'm not sure why I haven't....I've been looking at everyone else's blog. I just got used to the warm weather from Heaven the beginning of the week, and now there's a blizzard outside! Honestly, I love snow...just not over Easter break. I want the kids to be able to play outside...not be cooped up indoors.

Things seem to be looking up for us a little more now. This winter has been rough financially....so rough that I was ready to pack up everything and move to Mexico. I wanted to crawl in a hole and move slowly into a fetal position. Being self-employed has it's pros and cons. These last two years were total cons..... It first started with George's accident, then with everything that happened with Belle. George just couldn't seem to pull himself out of it after the latter happened. I think Belle's situation put him more in a funk than his accident. So now, after major despair, stupid financial decisions, and sometimes looking at a bare refrigerator.....I feel that we're moving on. I'm tired of worrying about things so much that I can't function....it's time to grab my backside and go. George feels the same way. There's only so long that you can stay in that situation before you go crazy.

I have a new job for one. I'll be opening at the Berlin Village...BEHIND A DESK....no more housekeeping! I function better behind a desk than sweeping behind one! Now...the question is can I get up a couple of days @ 5:00 am to be there at 5:45am? Oh yes...I think I can. I'll be done by 10:30 or 11:00am, and that's just sweet. I'll have my whole day yet. I'm excited about it. George is working steady too.....so that's a big help for our frame of minds. I feel the spring and summer coming. It's surging through my veins......and everything will be all right. Although I have to say that I've laid all this at Jesus' feet so many times.....one of these times we'll get it right and be doing what he wants us to do.

Gotta go buy some Easter candy this morning.....yes...I procrastinate until the last minute. I think that's when it's the most fun, though. Who wants to go 3 weeks ahead of time? Not I....

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

The wild night sky out my window facing the city. Saturday, September 26th // 2015 The sliding of days into the past, like taking a sip of water until you find the glass empty, have overtaken my thoughts this morning. Today and tomorrow. That's all I have left here in this space, this small slice of found moments that I have put myself in the past fortnight plus seven. Urgency, though, hasn't found me here. The tranquility of this breeze hitting my face every morning, allowing me to write freely, has afforded no trace of urgency. Authors will tell you that any time the words find you that they must be written. This is truth. They have found me every day as the sun rises to its zenith and the afternoon sear settles over the land calling for a quiet rest. I move from my window at that time and sit on the bed and finish for the day until it's time for the afternoon comida. I've not found the words in the evening, or even at night. It seems I need to res...

You can now find me on Substack and Medium . I'll be keeping this blog up to look back and see my old work.  It's been one hell of a year.  I want to end it by starting this space. Something new. Something uncensored. I am a columnist for a rural paper in Ohio, an author who published her book in a pandemic summer, and a frustrated poet.  I'm glad you're here. But don't come back if you can't handle some spicy words. See you 2020, let's do something new. Here are eight pieces I'm particularly proud to have written in 2020: It's only a virus, they said Taking a knee for an injured world Inconvenience in the time of pandemic 10 Commandments for tackling racism Redifining the word 'freedom' Spiraling down the conspiratorial rabbit hole A distraction to what ails us is never the cure Faith over fear is nothing if we're not wise

Shaun Cassidy, Kenny Rogers, and my worn-out speakers

Shaun Cassidy, Kenny Rogers, and my worn-out speakers This question was posed by my daughter on Twitter yesterday and I decided to take the challenge: What song must you listen to every day without fail? I have long and varied playlists that run the gamut of many different genres: techno, house, old country, pop from the 70’s and 80’s, and metal. There’s a tab on Spotify, my platform of choice, that lets you see how often and who you play the most. I was sure what the top ones would be, but was semi-surprised as it went along. Call me eclectic, or just weird, because I won’t be offended:       1)    Shaun Cassidy: I make no apologies because he has been my favorite ever since he belted out “Da Doo Ron Ron” and “Hey Deanie.” He was also Joe Hardy on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries in the late 70’s and that sealed the deal. I was an obsessed reader of the Hardy Boys books, and he came to life for me on that show. I had every one of his albu...
