Now let me get this straight …
A list of Federally recognized holidays: New Year’s Day: we celebrate a random day in the middle of winter that doesn’t actually start anything except an arbitrary calendar by partying hard and having mega sales. Martin Luther King Jr Day: we honor a wise and good man by pretending racism is gone and having mega […]
’tis the season!
As much as many people might love this time of the year, it also happens to be one of the toughest times of years when it comes to fitness goals. Between social gatherings filled with all sorts of yummy but less than healthy foods, and the weather making routine exercise more difficult, and increased stress […]
Just because I have cried wolf …
Today being April 1 … a monday, thus 100 Word Challenge for Adults day … All Fool’s Day to some, April Fool’s day to others but in both cases a day devoted to fools, and me being a master fool, a master of 100WCGU (in my mind anyway) and also a master of long complicated […]

I am pretty sure nothing can actually fix that. But thankfully the horrible memories of dissolution […]
A clean slate
It is interesting that a basically arbitrary day in an arbitrary calendar has such power over the world. Today is December 31, 2012. Tomorrow will be the official first day of 2013.

Since then it has become a sort of seasonal habit for me to come up with some version. Technically it started a long time […]
We have a clean canvas now. Grab your paint brush!
Now that the world has ended, I feel all fresh and rosy. It’s not everyday we get to create a whole new world! I already have my smock on, and have some bright new colors to start painting. I suppose some of us are waiting until the holidays are over. I know the whole apocalypse thing […]
A shepherd's tale
My last few posts have been on the serious to sad side, so it is time for a bit o’ light hearted. Unfortunately due to some unexpected speed bumps on this weeks section of life’s highway, I am a tad late with the current 100 Word Challenge for Grownups. Finally I am at a point to sit down […]
A birthday card … of sorts
Once upon a time (nine years ago today as a matter of fact) a magical flower was born. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HtBOxD1Re8] Happy Birthday Sarah!!
