Daily Prompt Response—Pride
What are you most proud of in your life? I like it when people are proud of me, but I have a hard time feeling proud of myself. Of course, I know I can be proud of other things. When I was a teacher, I was proud of the Battle of the Books team I… →

Daily Prompt Response—Work in Progress
What have you been working on? I’m a crafter, so I could answer this question by discussing the various knitting and crochet projects that I have been working on lately. But they’re not exciting me right now. In fact, I haven’t really worked on them much lately. I could say that I have been working… →

Things that are making me happy (part 10)
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… →

A Conversation

Anxiety is a funny thing…
And I say that because I’ve struggled with it for a really long time. Most notably, the past two years of grad school and my year as a school principal made me feel anxiety nearly all the time. I hated it then and now that I have a wonderful new job and have put those… →

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… →

Aging gracefully and with pride
Time has certainly started marching across my face lately. A month or so ago I posted about finding my first gray hair and being excited about it. I had discovered the beginning of crow’s feet a while before that. I didn’t really think too much about the crow’s feet until a couple days ago when… →

Attitude About Medicine
I started taking medicine regularly towards the end of my senior year of high school. I was 17 at the time and had just been given my first diagnosis of clinical depression. Zoloft is what I was given and I had such attitude about taking it. I didn’t think much of it at first, but… →
