I love living in Montana for a multitude of reasons. It’s beautiful and magical in a multitude of ways. Mostly though, my soul is just at home here. I’ve lived in a few different places and there is no where else that my soul is at such ease. My soul is at ease because of [...]
Tidbit 1: Those are my new mud boots. Boots that I can hardly believe I had to buy. See last year I bought a pair and figured that those would last me at least 5 years. We had noticed a crack in the rubber above the ankles but weren’t too worried about that. Well, on Saturday I [...]
I’ve been battling the cabin fever blues lately. Its a rare thing for me, cabin fever, but we’re in this phase between winter, mud, and spring seasons that leaves me a bit frustrated. I’ll survive, of course, and have been figuring out my own Cabin Fever Cure by following these steps: I give myself a [...]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXQhk9sE_-w] Music is constantly in the background of my days. I think it has been for most of my life. I remember listening to my dad’s albums until I was old enough for my own. I notice that I go through distinct phases with different styles and artists as well. I am always drawn to singer [...]
My goodness its Thursday and it’s been a whirlwind of a three days in this week already. I’ve been spending the last several evenings with a wonderful book, When Wanderers Cease to Roam: A Traveler’s Journal of Staying Put by Vivian Swift (who happens to be from Montana originally). The book was on the new arrivals shelf [...]
The full moon keeps me awake. I think I’ve always slept a little differently during the full moon, but in the last year or two I’ve really begun to take notice. I’ve been restless the last few nights and my mind just swirls with activity and ideas during these days. It’s good, though tiring. I, [...]
I’m in the middle of some rather extensive dental work. Work that includes the pulling of teeth and the creation of dentures, all from an accident I had while a child. Work that is more expensive than I like to think or talk about, and work that is causing some pain. I have a high [...]
Sometimes you just need to allow the random tidbits of life to take center stage: You know when you’re driving on icy, deer infested roads and there’s someone right on your rear bumper and its just driving you mad. And finally that someone passes you and sprays your windshield with gravel and dirty snow and continues [...]
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m back to work today. Despite an initial sense of dread, I’m feeling ok about it all. Now, that dentist appointment next week, well I’m still dreading that though not as bad today as I will be next week. The weekend was a quiet, very relaxing one. Both Jeff and I [...]
I’m returning to work after an 11 day vacation tomorrow. I’m sharing my thoughts about that and how I’m going to transition over at Homemakers Who Work, today. I hope to see you there.
