Have you ever had so many thoughts running through your head and they are so jumbled that you just know if you try to write them down they won’t make any sense? The whole month of December and into the beginning of January was like that for me. Then, there is the fact that IContinue reading “Learning Experiences”

Somehow over the course of time I reached 100 posts, and this is #101! What a crazy ride this life is. I know if I had posted all of the times I thought about posting I would be way past 101 by now, I’d be at like 500, but then kids wake up, or I’mContinue reading “101”

A week ago, today, I was set apart as the Primary Pianist. Good thing I have a piano again, huh? To say I felt inadequate is an understatement. I have always been surrounded by music. My mom played piano the whole time I was growing up and I took lessons for a little while whenContinue reading “My Cup Runneth Over”

I like the fun of Saturday and the peace of Sunday, but I like the structure ofContinue reading “I Like Monday”

Have you ever felt like you’ve just reached a point where you aren’t sure if you can deal with anything anymore? That emotionally you are just spent? I am just about there. I am exhausted and I think if one more thing comes up I may just end up letting my kids raid the fridgeContinue reading “I'm There”

I miss the beach. I miss the gentle breeze blowing across my face as I lay on my towel and listen to the waves crash against the shore. I miss the peace I can find as I focus on the sound of the waves and let the world slip away. I miss the smell ofContinue reading “The Ocean”
