January

...... and my thoughts turn to garnets (my birthstone), gloomy days, dirty snow, homework (though I haven't been in school for years), everything I didn't accomplish the previous year and why, root vegetables, cleaning......

Not much of the above leaves a whole lot to be desired.

Wishing I could just skip January all together.

So I'm doing little things..... trite, but they make the moment seem a bit better.

   Making a new wreath for my front door with white winter berries, twiggys,
    pinecones and burlap.
   Happy, bright new nail polish.
   Turquoise gloves.
   Trying lots of new vegetable dishes from recipes I've found on Pinterest.
   The birdies need some yummy food..... heart-shaped would be lovely, I think.
   A note of gratitude every day.

Endure endure endure endure.

Endure January.  Wishing I could hibernate.  But knowing I could never get away with it.  Damn.

Love languages

http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/ I've always known the love language my children speak.... since they were little. Rob took me a bit longer. I know my parents languages and lately I've been thinking much more about my siblings, Rob's siblings, and my dearest friends. It's taken years to figure out which one I am..... since it's been kind of a tie between three.... but recently, it finally happened.  And although it's one I'm not super pleased about, it is me.  It's what makes me feel secure and safe and loved.  And just because someone doesn't show me love in this certain way (because obviously we all have our own language), it doesn't mean I'm not going to have a connection with them.  It just means that in my deeply closest, most personal and intimately emotional relationships, this area is what does it for my heart.... and it's how my heart gives and shows it to others.

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.
