Back to Life, Back to Reality
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life? Really?! Another habit question? Oh boy. Can we skip this re-run? I knit. I crochet. I journal. I sit in my favorite spot on the couch every night. I sit under the magnolia tree in my backyard. I used to run. We’ve been… →

That Would Be Enough
I cheated a little bit with this question today. I read the prompt and then asked my husband to answer it. To be fair, I agree whole-heartedly with his answer. We both think that companionship is the most important thing for a good life. I don’t think it’s the only thing though. First though, I… →

Be Kind, Unwind
How do you unwind after a demanding day? Zoning out is how I unwind from anything. Doing that is so much easier now that Facebook and Instagram have reels and all of TikTok exists. Even when social media was in its infancy, I could scroll through that for a good while. It works though…watching mindless… →

The Evolution of My Social Media
How do you use social media? My use of social media has evolved over the years. Good ol’ MySpace was my first experience with it.

Social Media When You’re Not Afraid of Being Fired
For 19 years I worked in a Catholic school. Now that I don’t, I have freedom in a way that I didn’t fully comprehend until the initial joy of being out of there finally settled. When you work in a Catholic school, at least in one that belonged to the diocese where I was, you… →

The return of high school on Facebook
In a previous post, I described how I am going back and reading through all of my old journals. There are 38 completely filled up. I’m writing in #39 right now. Yesterday I read volume 7. At that point in my life, when I was filling up #7, I was finishing my sophomore year of… →

Daily Prompt Response—Wasting Time
How do you waste the most time every day? Social media! I waste so much time scrolling through reels and videos and reading posts on pages that I don’t even follow on Facebook. It’s entertaining for sure. And honestly, it’s a good distraction, especially when I was so stressed from work and grad school, it… →
