When It’s Raining Outside

Posted on January 12, 2020 by

The weather was, and this is not a very poetic term, yucky today. It was above zero, so not particularly cold, but thanks to the rain, it was yucky nonetheless.  I wouldn’t have gone out at all, except that needs … Continue reading →

A Break from the Noise

Posted on January 8, 2020 by

In light of the days events, writing about A Perfect Moment seems callous and is quite hard. The media and even the people around me are all talking about war and death.  Everyone is waiting for the Trump speech in … Continue reading →

The Year That Will Be

Posted on January 3, 2020 by

A couple of days before the dawning of the New Year, I was checking out Erin Karpluk’s instagram page (I have been a fan since Being Erica) and it had one of those giant word search puzzles. It stated that … Continue reading →

The Year That Was

Posted on January 2, 2020 by

Happy New Year to everyone.  Let’s hope 2020 is a fantastic year for everyone. So 2019 is in the books. Before I look forward to the year ahead, I should probably take a moment to look back. I would have … Continue reading →

The Christmas Tree

Posted on December 13, 2019 by

I have a confession to make. I haven’t put up the Christmas tree in a decade.  Partly it was laziness, but partly it was not being in a Christmas mood.  I separated just before Christmas and I let everyone know … Continue reading →

Beating Last Year’s Numbers

Posted on December 2, 2019 by

At the beginning of the year, I hoped that I would double the number of views I had from the past year. I had done that in both 2016 and 2017–though I failed to do so in 2018–I thought it … Continue reading →

Enjoying Morning

Posted on November 6, 2019 by
