The dog woke me up at 7am and wanted a long walk. And, he was peppy. He did his business, sniffed the roses, and looked up at me with his brown/green eyes. I was going to take this to be his way of communicating “happy mother’s day” to […]
In chaos, there is calm. And, in calm, there are storms. Fire. It stirs the belly. A coloring book reminds one of a time when coloring within the lines was a cheered-on skill. We once felt good with such little tasks. Now, she knew this was a momentary […]
I was recently, at midnight, watching a stand-up comedy special to try to help me sleep. I specifically was watching John Mulvaney’s latest stand-up special. The one after his rehab stint. It was funny. It was self-deprecating. It was timely. I think, in many ways, there are a […]
