I can slow down. I can actually enjoy the process involved in completing a task at hand. What does that even mean? Let me tell you how much I have had to think on that one and get it straight in my head. It’s not how I have been programmed. It is not my usualContinue reading “Slow Down Vibes”
Things I Learned Today / 6/15/24
Saturday, June 15, 2024 Today I learned that if you put leftovers in ziploc bags, it’s easier just to put them in the fridge then toss them days later. Who wants save leftovers only to eventually open a yucky, fuzzy tupperware surprise, empty it, then wash it? I ordered seedless watermelons. Got watermelons with seeds.Continue reading “Things I Learned Today / 6/15/24”

Friday, June 14, 2024 Today I learned that I can write about something meaningful to me and share personal info, but nobody reads it. That’s ok. Writing practice.

Apparently, my faceContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / 6/12/24”

Create Souvenirs
We leave things behind. We leave something where ever we go. We leave a little part of ourselves with every person with which we interact. Like souvenirs. That little thing – the smile, the encouraging word, the compliment, the observation, the point, the snarky comment, the criticism, those last words – we leave behind. WeContinue reading “Create Souvenirs”
Things I Learned Today / 6/10/24
Monday, June 10, 2024 I learned that I need to check on what we have in the fridge and in the pantry before I buy groceries. We have 4 unopened jars of pickles, at least 3 bottles of Caesar dressing, and enough chicken stock to support the buoyancy of an aircraft carrier. I could goContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / 6/10/24”
