At some point, writing here started to feel like another obligation instead of the pleasure it usually is. I shifted my writing to my vanilla life, and that felt right. Today, I've been sitting here for a bit trying to figure out how I'm doing. I mean, I'm ok. I'm not freaking out. I'm not … Continue reading Another Sunday in TCT

Thought for the Day – In TCT
“What is TCT?” you ask. Clearly, it’s an acronym, not a word, at least not a word in any language I know. You won’t find it in the urban dictionary - the place I love to search for strange acronyms and inexplicable word usage. Yeah, I think I made this one up. It stands for … Continue reading Thought for the Day – In TCT
Busy Days, Busy Nights
I get up early - typically between 5 and 6 a.m. That’s when I don’t wake up TOO early - often around 2:30 or 3 a.m. But I treasure that early morning time when no one else is up yet. I was still a child when I started to get up that early. I would … Continue reading Busy Days, Busy Nights
Sending Love…
May you be happy May you be healthy May you be safe May you live in love.
The Tightrope
If I lean too far one way, I fall into the pit of despair. Ok that might be over-dramatizing a bit, but not a whole lot. In this direction lies the land of high anxiety, which for me quickly shifts to "whoopee, we're all gonna die." (To the tune of whatever-that-song-was at Woodstock. Yes, I'll … Continue reading The Tightrope
Like a Drive-Through
Just sort of popping by to say "hi." I'm trying to catch up with all the things I've left undone this week. Well, maybe not all of them, but some of them. And suddenly it’s 10:00 and no blog post. So here’s my thought for the day: "Let the darkness find you if it must. … Continue reading Like a Drive-Through
Stripped
No, not that kind of stripping. Not strip mining either. Today, I feel like our lives are being stripped down to the essentials. And sometimes less, of course. But if you are like me - fortunate enough to: Be healthy (so far) Have your essential needs taken care of and Be confident you can survive … Continue reading Stripped
Today’s News…
Kids are wonderful. Kids are exhausting. Life is good... Oh, and I went to the beach on Sunday. Did I already mention that? I don’t think I did. It was lovely.
Thank you, Bob Marley
Just for perspective: https://youtu.be/zaGUr6wzyT8 Having said that, and fully believing that in the long run, "Every little thing gonna be all right..." last night I had this overwhelming feeling that the walls were closing in on me. The alone time and space that I treasure and need is going to be gone. Everyone's anxiety is … Continue reading Thank you, Bob Marley
In These Times
So you probably know that I live with my significant other, MP, my adult daughter, and two grands, an almost 8 year old and a just-turned 5 year old. Where-We-Live has not closed schools (yet) but spring break has just started and they're talking about staying closed for a least a couple of weeks longer. … Continue reading In These Times
