 Lord

Grant me 

Peace and perserverance

As the day 

Goes long

Blog birthday

 It’s almost the blog’s birthday. I lost count of how many years it’s been. It’s been one heck of a ride. The most consistent endeavor I’ve ever undertaken. So in honor of a big day tomorrow, I’m going to celebrate. How you ask. Checking the mailbox for snail mail and a handful of candy corn. Thank you for stopping by here each day to cheer me on. I may never meet you in real life, but I’m so grateful for your love and support. 

Some of my favorite things on this almost blog birthday. 

Meeting you all

Finding pieces of myself each day

Stretching this writing gene

Some facts about me

I love thrifting

Sweet over savory most days

I enjoy Diet Coke

I love walking into the drugstore, and checking out new lip balms

I can never have too many stamps to send happy mail

Iced coffee over hot coffee for me

I love a good salad

I love to reread my favorite books

Hues

 Peeping the fall hues

Red and orange

Yellow too

While the windows

Roll down

To let

The wind

Brush my hair

Blue

 Dreaming of the vast

Azure sea shore

Ebbing and flowing

As is life’s

Natural order

Loving right now

Loving snail mail. Wish I had more. 

Pens and stationery

Stickers

Scarves

Sun chips

Ginger chews

Your turn?

Thoughts

 Some thoughts

New Yorkers are friendly. Very helpful and kind. 

Being a slow walker didn’t bother them. 

The city is beautiful in unexpected ways

Joy can be found in simplicity 

I savored my time like a fine wine

Disability is a pain sometimes, but I found ordinary strangers who lavished extraordinary kindness upon me for which I’m grateful. 

Hi

 Where in the world was I this last week. The answer DC and NYC. It was a time of challenge and refreshment. A time I won’t soon forget. Maybe I will share some photos. In the meantime, I’m glad to be back where I can watch the green grass grow. 

Hi

 I’m back after a girls’trip. Glad to be back with you all. Love you all.

From fear

What ifs

And overthinking

As honest as 

I can
