There was a time, many moons ago, where I kept a journal of things I had learned that day or week or month. Admittedly, there were days when I felt like I hadn’t learned anything. This is contrary to what I tell my son. I tell him that […]
Every year, around this time, I ponder long and hard about my “word of the year.” Not for the year that is ending but for the year to come. By selecting a word for the new year, I hope to set its direction. I hope to frame my […]
Try to sleep. Feel tired. Exhausted. Mind racing. Knees sore. Legs twitchy. Stare at the ceiling. Don’t count sheep. Cannot see them. Think through should-have-been retorts. Laugh at the incredulous.
