I’m Thankful For: Week of November 28 – 30
There were only three days left to my Thankful posts on Facebook, and at less than a week after November ended and December commenced I already miss this tradition. Taking the time to sit down and find something to be thankful for – even on the crappiest of days – is a wonderful exercise in … Continue reading
I’m Thankful For: Week(s) of November 13th to 27th
I’ve been completely missing for the past couple weeks, huh? Sorry about that. At some point I’ll sit down long enough to compose a post that makes some sort of sense, but today is not that day. Luckily for you I have managed to get on Facebook at least once a day to post my … Continue reading
I’m Thankful For: Week of November 7th to 13th
I feel like I was hardly home all weekend long. Tony had a four-day weekend in honor of Veterans Day and I barely had a chance to sit down, let alone sit in front of my computer long enough to write any sort of post. Even an easy copy-and-paste entry like this one. Which leads … Continue reading
I’m Thankful For: Week of November 1st to 6th
A popular trend I’ve noticed over the past few years on Facebook (and probably Twitter if I ever thought to go on Twitter) is to write a status update each day naming things people are thankful for throughout the month of November. Kind of like NaBloPoMo but for social media and with a ‘thankful’ theme. … Continue reading

> An Emergency Fund You know that concept ‘Murphy’s Law’? It’s taken up residence here, with us. And, okay, we can’t say that anything that can go wrong has gone wrong, because I have a whole month’s worth of posts in my archives that prove that my life is right on track and there’s not … Continue reading

> A No-Pressure Sunday I had a difficult time getting out of bed this morning. Physically, I had a hard time. Yesterday’s ascent to the top of The Incline really did a number on my thigh and groin muscles, and today I’ve been limping around the house. But the blister on my big toe went … Continue reading

> Encouraged (Forced) Perseverence Photo courtesy of Pola Rica I woke up at 5am this morning, because my alarm was set for 5:41. I set my alarm so rarely that I’m usually worried it won’t go off on those few occasions that it’s turned on, and therefore wake up an hour or so ahead of … Continue reading

> Blue Friday I don’t do Black Friday. For someone who’s not interested in shopping on a normal day, and for someone who suffers from an ever-increasing sense of agoraphobia (mild, to be certain, but I really get panicky in large crowds, and even buffets scare me), it’s not something I partake in. There’s no … Continue reading
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 25
> Day Twenty-Five: Nourishing – and Delicious – Food I didn’t post anything yesterday, but if you’d been in our house you’d understand why: I was cooking from the moment I got up until we ate our Thanksgiving meal at 2pm, and afterward we visited with friends from Okinawa, who’d joined us for our meal. … Continue reading

> Day Twenty-Four: A Love of Reading I read. It’s what I do. It’s what I’ve always done. This year has probably been my most prolific in terms of sheer numbers; as of right now – Wednesday morning – I’ve fully read 88 and a half books. I expect that number to reach 89 before … Continue reading
