Indifference about my job. I have found that I really enjoy my new job when I’m there, but when I come home, I don’t care much about it and that is making me so happy! I’m going on two months of this new job and at first, there was a great deal of excitement about… →

Daily Prompt Response—Grown Up???
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? I put question marks after “grown up” in the title of this post because I’m 42 years old and I really don’t think I’ve ever felt truly grown up. I have done grown up things and I have had grown up… →

Daily Prompt Response—Best Advice
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? I never personally received this advice, but I kind of did. This advice came from a fictional t.v. mom on the show “Life Goes On” (told you I was a 90s kid). Her daughter Becca was over-analyzing some situation with her boyfriend or something else teen… →

The Loss of Lucid Dreams
I had always heard of the term “lucid dream”, yet I never really knew what a lucid dream was. As it turns out, I had been having lucid dreams for almost 20 years and now I’m not. When I would write in my journal about dreams that I had, I would always refer to them… →
