A rainy day …

When stress and uncertainty cloud the view, nothing helps more than rain, flowers, memories … and love.  And nothing is ever really lost.

Write from where it hurts …

Time to put some discipline into my days again and make my blog feel loved.  Summer has stopped me in my tracks and my brain feels like a sleepy wasteland.  I’m probably running from the very idea presented here …

The best-laid plans … or something …

Apparently, without meaning to, I’ve taken a summer break from blogging.  It’s the heat, people.  That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.  I wander in, briefly look around, wander back out.  I miss you all and entertain daily good intentions to catch up on your stuff … and next thing you know I’m in my recliner sipping an iced tea or a frosty Greyhound and playing Candy Crush on my iPad.  Oh, the shame.  Okay, confession over … I feel all better now!  Thanks for listening.  I’ll be back on the job soon … meanwhile, here are some delightful graphics for your viewing pleasure.  Happy Summer, everyone!

Preaching to the choir …

Preaching to myself, actually.

Well, fudge …

My poor little blog is suffering from extreme neglect.  Mama’s just been soooooooo busy!  Don’t give up on us, friends and neighbors … we’re comin’ back.

No big deal!

A note to my friends …

I’m woefully far behind on the important part of my blog — the part where I keep in touch with my WordPress friends.  I love “likes” — that makes perfect sense, right?  And your comments are wonderful — I do keep up with those.  But I have a long list of people in my email who have visited this blog and whom I want to visit in return.  And I will.  I’m far, far behind on my Reader — is there even such a thing as being “caught up?”  For now I just wanted to say a quick thank you for the wonderful things you write, the thoughtful ways you stay in touch with other WordPress bloggers, and for your patience.  Most definitely your patience!

ThankYou
