A couple of nights ago I had the coolest dream. It awoke the writer within me in its lucidity.

Family Work

It’s impossible to be perfect. And this fortune cookie note I got reminded me that it’s okay. How reassuring is that message? My immediate reaction was “Hey, this is how I want to be for others” in my role as a Happiness Engineer. Then I remembered that since it was my fortune cookie, this was about me. […]

No Comments on Inspiring Quote on Miracles

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the […]

Meditation Inspiration

A friend shared this with me – please click the link at the bottom of the text in this post to see the full meditation. I don’t want to be stealing people’s work 🙂 (The video clip is mine.) Meditation Day 20 If you must be heard, let it be like the babbling brook, laughing […]

England 40 Years Ago — November 23, 1980
Lisa says of her brother, “He’s a clever little freak.” The uninitiated would wonder why the toilet brushes are on the backs of the toilets, the bathroom waste basket is on the hamper, and the bed crowned with a clock, hand lotion and a tissue box. Things on tables recede inch by inch, as if […]
Family Fun in the Mountains
On her first full day here, daughter Lise asked the mountain to pose with her. It was pleased to comply. We also took the ritual photo of us at the creek, although I cheated the creek of its rightful space. In Walmart, I noticed sweatshirts with masks pinned to them, and Lise found one she […]
I Dusted the Tub
How do you define a mother’s love? Among other things, I always cooked for my children to show my love for them. This time I went far beyond that for daughter Lise. I performed a household chore that I despise – dusting. She is the only one who has ever taken a bath more than […]
England 40 Years Ago — November 16, 1980
A week ago on Sunday was Remembrance Day here, and we found it so meaningful. Lisa and I were impressed with the trumpet in church, and when we saw a replay of the morning’s activities when the Queen and lots of others laid poppy wreaths at the tomb of the unknown soldier, we heard the […]
Anne Flips her Lid
It was my fault the sun was so high in the sky. I lay in bed reading comments and blog posts that had come in during the night instead of getting up when the alarm rang. The sun was welcome to warm our backs at the creek. When we turned to walk home, it was […]
Logan’s Chocolate Punishment
The way I’ve written about neighbor Logan, you’d think he walked on water and never did anything wrong. He is a normal ten-year-old, and he succumbed to chocolate temptation. This is how I knew about it. A couple of hours after Shawn said they would come for lunch to celebrate her birthday, she asked if […]
Logan Makes Coffeecake
Impromptu happenings work well in our neighborhood. It was the day before Shawn’s birthday, and I found out that Bob and his brother were in Georgia for a construction job. Logan (10) had a day off from school for Veteran’s Day, so it seemed a perfect time to get together for an early dinner. You’d […]
England 40 Years Ago — November 9, 1980
Early last week Gillian H came over to watch me make bread. I thought most recipes for bread were fairly standard, but evidently the English ones differ in several respects. They (Caroline was with her, being out of school for mid-term) exclaimed over the greasing of the dough before the first rising. Maybe that’s why […]
Birthday Waffles
I had two dates on the calendar for neighbor Bob’s birthday. I entered both at different times and didn’t know which was correct. Shawn texted that they were going to their son’s home for dinner that evening, the day before the birthday. I removed the wrong date and decided to make waffles for their breakfast. […]
A Pair of Nonpolitical Hawks
As I walked over the hill, I saw two big blobs on the road making noises back and forth. As my feet stopped, the camera came out of my pocket. I didn’t know what I was seeing or hearing, but I wanted to photograph the scene. The blobs were large birds, probably hawks. Their wings […]
