Succession…what an exhausting group of people. Holy smokes. If this is a more realistic version of the uber-rich than Schitt’s Creek…they can keep their money. I am enjoying watching the backstabbing, beautiful locations, family drama, and pretty stellar acting…but it makes me appreciate not having to live life as a constant chess game. As theContinue reading “Thoughts on Succession”

Reach for the Sky
‘Tis the season… for some the giving is everything, to others the getting is what it’s all about. Another season of doing what makes you happy. If you are a giver, bless your soul, go for it and enjoy. If you like to receive, I hope you do, and if you don’t…go treat yourself…you deserveContinue reading “Reach for the Sky”
The Spins
Spin and swirl…preparing for gatherings, visits, holidays…fun spins. Singing, cooking, decorating, working, buying the perfect little something for someone special, baking, moving furniture…spectacular spins. Then it’s over…and the backward, uncomfortable and wobbly, what do I do now spin begins. It is dark. I never know if it will last a day or a month. IContinue reading “The Spins”
30 Days of Thanks
Not easy… but worth it. I am thankful for the month being over and for the goodness that comes from recognizing how much I have to be thankful for. I hope to continue, quietly to myself. Noticing the good, both big and small. Remembering that with thanks comes happiness. I am thankful.
Elf on the Shelf…no more
Today I am finding amazing amounts of joy knowing that Elf on the Shelf is no longer a part of my life. I might have a month of thankful Swoons to write…but I will not be hiding an elf around our home. Gone are the days of channeling every bit of creativity in my bodyContinue reading “Elf on the Shelf…no more”
SLOJ
Sammy, Lionel, Olivia, and Jacob… better known as SLOJ…grabbing the ABBA model of using first initials to create a band name. I would have forgotten all about the Thanksgiving band SLOJ if it were not for a memory popping up on my husband’s fb account. Unfortunately, unlike ABBA, SLOJ lasted about 2 hours. They brokeContinue reading “SLOJ”
Too tired…
I am too tired to Swoon, which is ridiculous because I have lived 3 days of swoon-worthy experiences. I am thankful this month is almost over and I will once again swoon when I am feeling it…instead of it feeling like a chore. I am thankful for Swoons, I am thankful for you. I amContinue reading “Too tired…”
Armenian Thanksgiving
Boreg, Sarma, Bourma…. and a bunch of Armenian relatives going out of their way to celebrate and love up the matriarch of the family…bliss. I am thankful for caring and kind cousins and their kids.
A whole day of thanks
No more to say… it was a long, exhausting, beautiful day of food, family, friends, dogs, and more food. I am thankful.
for…
the mini vacation from work…being together again…surviving the day two, back together again, family explosion of misunderstandings…baking many pies…shopping then shopping again…mourning those we have recently lost…mourning those who have been gone for a while…celebrating with extended family and friends in our midst…chatting over wine…baking with my Olivia…setting the table with my Jacob…watching mom cookContinue reading “for…”
