I don't know where the week has gone; I lost a day somewhere. This morning I had a minor medical procedure that threw the cadence of the entire day off. I'm not getting much done. Ah well. It's a wet and stormy afternoon with thunderstorms and hail forecast—the kind of day that's perfect for curling
I'm very late to the post with my list of weekly favourite things because I've had a busy day. Some of the things that made it busy will likely show up in this list. Here we go! Air Miles. When we returned to Canada in 2014, I reacquainted myself with the Air Miles program. No
It's been a heavy week. I won't go into detail about various burdens that joined forced to keep me awake last night and give me a headache today. Suffice to say, I'm just feeling done today. It's been a while since I pulled together a Friday's Fave Five post and maybe I need to do
Let’s see. Can I do it? It’s been a week of highs and lows and it’s hard to believe it’s already Friday. Maybe I especially need to do a Friday’s Fave Five post this week so, here we go. Coffee and conversation. Time spent with friends talking about anything but the elephants is always food for
We’re not going back. What was is no longer and won’t be again. It’s difficult to wrap one’s mind around it—at least it has been for me—but I’m there now. The sense of being trapped on a rollercoaster I didn’t choose to ride, careening on a course into the unknown, is more real today than
I debated about whether to even attempt a Friday's Fave Five post today. It's been a difficult week for British Columbia due to mudslides and floods, and for all of us everywhere because that's just the way it is right now. I feel the burden and in some respects, it seems frivolous—and perhaps even insensitive—to
Yesterday was a holiday here in Canada so it's a Friday that feels like a Monday. This, after turning the clocks back last weekend and it's a recipe for discombobulation. Seems like a good time to look back at the week that was and find things to be thankful for with another edition of Friday's
It's November. I can hardly believe it. Weeks fly by and yet, in another sense, they drag. This morning I took a look back in the archives of this blog (you can click the links to read the posts) to see what other Novembers were like, and I found a common theme. One year ago
Remember when I used to show up here early every morning? Yeah, me too. But those days are not these days. My morning quiet time is shorter now and there's only so much I can fit in. It's a changing season but it's all good. Today is Friday and I have nothing on my schedule.
Makiya is off to school, Gerry just left for a hike, the pups are snoozing and I'm finally taking some time to write this post. The first week of school comes to an end today and we're all settling into new routines. It's been a good week—a different week—but one rich with good things. Time
I'm in the living room at my daughter's house. It's early, and Daughter and Granddaughter are still sleeping. The only sound is that of the refrigerator running and my fingers tapping on the keyboard. I'm enjoying the first quiet moments of the day to gather my thoughts and offer prayer while I wait for Starbucks
