Life’s little moments
Today I celebrated life. I cleaned, mopped and did laundry, Dishes, tidying, the works. I took my children to play, And we decided which kind of dragons we’d be, Which powers we’d have All because we read ‘dragon water’ Instead of drinking water On the back of a truck I held my little one as…

Ben and Jerry and Wednesday
The first full day back at work this week. I feel like I should be all caught up but instead the opposite is true. I’m so behind I’m starting to lap myself. The smoke outside was so thick from the fires in BC that it looked like fog, altering reality to a version eerily the…

The click
It’s amazing the difference one good day can make Or one bad one can take The week after a long weekend feels crazy Overwhelming While we rush, rush, rush All the way through, To make up one lost day Of productivity Then miraculously, Just like that Something clicks And the magic shines through Guiding you…

Time and relatives

Thursday dreaming
Another episode of Thursday thoughts, on the heels of what may or may not be a cold. It’s one of those tickley bothers, the kind where you think any minute you’re about to get deathly ill with some virus, and may never recover, except it never really arrives- at least, not so far. I’m three…

Half day Monday
I love half day mondays! This summer I decided that instead of taking a bunch of time off I was going to try to shorten my work week, Weather and responsibilities permitting. This is the first week where I’ve felt what that means, And so far, I’m digging it. This week, I worked only Monday…

Frīġedæġ
Friday. I’ve started writing a story about a girl named Freyja, which feels perfectly appropriate for today. I love history. I love learning about other people’s history. It’s as though I can feel what someone else a world and a century away was feeling as they went about their normal lives. Friday is named after…
