Well. Another day, another post. Only 264 to go after today. That’s still a pretty big number. I had planned the afternoon off to write. However, I’ve been feeling behind on some of my case work and wanted to get out some replies by the weekend. I decided to work through the afternoon – and …
100 days of blogging. 100 days (so far) of peace. How’s it going? I can’t believe what a strong habit this has become, and with minimal effort. Once I started, blogging had its own momentum. I simply know that I will blog once a day, and I do it. My husband helps remind me and …
Today was a day off/writing day. Delightful! Take-off in the morning took longer than usual, but we got off happy and calm. Delivered baby to mom: no problem. Work on the paper went well! I cut it down to about 7500 words, including the reference list – I think that’s excluded from the word count, …
I was going to blog tonight something about choosing peace in our lives. Just half an hour ago I was thinking through the post. However, it’s 9:35, I”m sitting down to write, and I have NO RECOLLECTION of what I was going to say. That’s right: complete writer’s amnesia. It might have been: more about …
Last week I had a meeting with a tenured faculty member in education to get some feedback on a paper I’ve been working on for 5 years. I last touched it the day before baby was born, aside from a few touch-ups in the days before the meeting. She is a wonderful encouraging mentor for …
Two mini experiments in peace seeking today. 1. Last night, I went to bed with baby at 8 & slept 3 hours, nursing her a bit after 11. I got up then to blog and play on the computer. And for no good reason, I checked my work email, and read an email that left …
I want to work harder on being in the now. Right now. Not tomorrow, the distant future, any other time. This morning we were out at the car, getting ready to go. I was standing around while my husband played a bit with baby. All was well. Baby was super happy. The car was a …
I’d love to write something more uplifting. So here’s a combo. Today was one of those days. Baby slept in until 8 which would have been great on the weekend but made the morning kind of rushed. At work just in time for a multi-hour training call with Vancouver. I realized as we started that …
Long weekend. So great, so fast. With our girl’s increasing vocabulary recognition, tonight I found myself having to SPELL A WORD so she wouldn’t tune in to what I was saying. She loves the picture of the little girl on the dishsoap bottle and I didn’t want her to play with it, so I spelled …
Today I had a lovely, relaxed 45 min. to myself. My husband took my daughter for a walk after breakfast and I sat in front of my laptop at my writing desk (how great that I have a writing desk now! Though the area can get cluttered, I love it and all the things I’m …
