Time Change Drudgery or Satiating Sunshine? Midweek Musings

I was listening to a podcast this morning by Nichole Sachs, and this quote stood out: “We don’t have to attach to things as good or bad.” She was speaking on healing from things like pain or migraines. There is a similar quote by Shakespeare that I heard long ago, and found it interesting. This … Continue reading "Time Change Drudgery or Satiating Sunshine? Midweek Musings"

Weekend Coffee Share, Spring Forward!

Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Natalie the Explorer. Today is a Zen green tea day. Is it coffee for you? The sun is shining; I drank half of my tea before leaving, but now I’m back four virtual chat, as I finish my second half of my green tea. It’s honestly good … Continue reading "Weekend Coffee Share, Spring Forward!"

Breakfast Thoughts: Learning Self-expression

What a life I live! Those were words I started writing in my diary when I was thirteen. Sometimes it seemed sarcastic: other times, very hopeful. Recently, I looked back in some old diaries I kept at age 13 and 14. I was quite innocent then, but man, did I ever write a lot about … Continue reading "Breakfast Thoughts: Learning Self-expression"

Weekend Coffee Share, on Relaxation

Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Natalie the Explorer. While it is quite warm, we have some clouds rolling in this morning. Bixby and I are just sitting around as I sip my chai latte and rub his ears now and then. So, you and I are having a virtual coffee visit in … Continue reading "Weekend Coffee Share, on Relaxation"

Midweek Musings, Spring Thoughts

Finally, the Spring thaw occurs! Let me tell you, we’ve recently had temperatures in the high 80s. It does seem too soon, but our plants really needed it. I’ve been sort concerned about this one plant that I received in the first few days after my son was born. In time, it flourished and grew … Continue reading "Midweek Musings, Spring Thoughts"

Weekend Coffee Share, February 25th

Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Natalie the Explorer. I had peach mango V8 with breakfast and now I’m enjoying a chai latte on a sunny morning. I think it’ll be in the 80s again today, much like it has been all of last week. This week was a short work week, as … Continue reading "Weekend Coffee Share, February 25th"

Midweek Musings, The Drive

I used to drive to work every morning with a list of things in my head that I must do when I get there, since nothing is ever completely done. The “list” would stress me out before I even got to work! Now, I lose myself in a song. Somehow, I’ve grown into the ability … Continue reading "Midweek Musings, The Drive"

Weekend Coffee Share, Sloth-like Saturday: Smiles and Sleep

Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Natalie the Explorer. Today’s morning beverage is green Tazo tea served warm with a hint of honey. The morning weather is in the high 40s now. The sun is shining, which suits my lazy-late-sleeper attitude today! Don’t be jealous, though. I certainly don’t usually sleep late enough! … Continue reading "Weekend Coffee Share, Sloth-like Saturday: Smiles and Sleep"

Midweek Musings, Proud

Monday, during my planning time, I had one of my Yearbook/Journalism students stay after the class to translate our week’s club activities into Spanish for our podcast. He wasn’t confident at first, but then he wrote out an outline in Spanish and went ahead. Needless to say, it sounded great to me! This will represent … Continue reading "Midweek Musings, Proud"

Weekend Coffee Share, Self-Care

Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Natalie the Explorer. I was up at 7:30 enjoying my chai tai and cereal with fruit. I’d planned on doing cardio in the morning, before my 10:00 a.m. hair appointment. In all honesty, that didn’t happen. Perhaps it was lack of ambition or lack of motivation, but … Continue reading "Weekend Coffee Share, Self-Care"
