survival

I am really interested in getting out of survival mode. My friend says I have the worst luck they’ve ever seen. My sister supplies the chocolate bars, ice cream and wheels to get to doctor’s appointments — when my wheels are falling off. I’ve decided I like ice capps with oat milk – and black …

Where the light gets in

I don’t have much to say these days. I’m trying to just stay afloat, and find joy where I can. I’ve made some amazing batches of popcorn, journaled lots, enjoyed some favourite comfort foods (once I get my butt to the grocery store and back home, take a breath and put food on the table). …

Catalyst (1)

New collection of my thoughts, adventures and oddities. Yesterday: I have no wifi on this side of the library. But I can’t bring myself to pay the demands required to have a home wifi connection for 1 hour of connective content in a day. Reading a curious composition right now, Good News for a Change, …

Tuesday was a mess, Wednesday was ridiculous, Thursday caught a glimpse of redemption, and Friday I spent making reckless decisions and …

Good things (10)

New year, new leaf. Much gratitude. Noteworthy reads: The Library Book, An Echo in the Bone, and Split Tooth Work team at full capacity and I’ve reclaimed my regular hours Jan 18: Jon & Roy concert on Bowen was fantastic — especially in combination with sibs, nachos, burgers, beer and apple pie à la mode 🙂 Jan …

light-hearted

I have such gratitude for the past few weeks of slowing down and enjoying the rhythm of the days: Christmas eats, beach-walks, books and movies, to name just a few of my favourite things. I hope in 2020 I can be more clear-headed and light-hearted and continue to find paths of wellness and gratitude going …

Where I went:

Those times when someone might ask: Seen any good movies lately? And everything short-circuits and I stand there looking silly… Here are 35 I came up with by putting myself on the spot, for your entertainment -and mine 🙂 Charlie Wilson’s War The Lego Batman Movie The Biggest Little Farm Shoplifters The Vigilante A Private …
