Strength is a trait that is forged. Strength is not inborn nor bred. It is developed, cultivated and nurtured.

My Evie has taken to doing slight of hand magic tricks. He is not so slight of hand but he is thoroughly amused by the idea of illusion and making things disappear. He knows that he is not doing actual magic but rather trickery. It is delightful to watch. Silly. He is silly. He hides [...] Evan creeps into my room at 4:32am. “Mommy, can we do presents now?” I was suprised he made it through the night. I convinced him that it was too early and to go back to sleep. We snuggled up and were fast asleep until Cameron came in at 6:33. “Cameron, were there presents?” Cameron grunted [...] I woke this morning like most mornings, with a leg cramp. Funny things that fling me out of bed. It is baffling that both my calves and the shin muscles can cramp simultaneously. No anatomical way to stretch one without pain in the other. So, I force through the pain. It is intense but brief. [...] I finished the new Christmas stockings. A few years back, my stocking went M.I.A. It was time to consider a replacement.

I anticipated the separation of the ornaments to be difficult, a minefield of emotions and memories but [...] Gifts from the heart are the best kind. When a gift is mostly an investment of time it resonates with me. While I occasionally come across the PERFECT store bought gift, I prefer to make gifts. Ultimately, time is my most precious commodity, so to find the time and use that time to make a [...] So far, today has been a natural day. I woke refreshed without prompting or agitation from a deep sleep. The room was lit and the clock said 7:31. Late for me. I agreed that I would get up and walk but sleep returned and I woke a second time over an hour later. I kept [...] I love Christmas cookies. I love to plan which ones I am going to bake and in what order. I love looking for new cookies to add to the menu. I came across this listing. Gourmet magazine’s archives of Christmas years past. Too cool. Every year I bake Sand Tarts and Spritz, which are made [...] Is everything real also true? Is reality an absolute or is reality relative? Can I believe in anything? How am I to be certain what I see or hear or taste is real? I suppose, it is real for me. But is my reality the truth? Reality can be deconstructed. Each layer is real, as [...] I great and true friend came to visit me today. She disclosed she had been reading Realisa. She also admitted that she realized that her reading was solitary and not an actual dialogue with me. I assume SOMEONE reads Realisa. But, I write for me. It is a solitary thing. If someone reads it cool. [...] |
