Day 52
I want to see miracles. I want to see hidden jewels. I want to live in the sunlight. I want to feel the sweet soft summer breeze on my skin. I want to hear your voice from behind in my hair. I want to taste ripe berries and fruit of the season. I want a…

Day 51
I laughed way to hard about this quote. “I thought raising teenagers would be like those goofy old Brady Bunch episodes about curfews, acne and dating. It’s not. It’s more like Survivor meets Dateline – hang in there and don’t murder anyone.” I wish I knew who wrote it. I would laugh and cry with…

Day 50
Fifty is the smallest number that is the sum of two non-zero square numbers in two distinct ways: 50 = 12 + 72 = 52 + 52 It is also the sum of three squares, 50 = 32 + 42 + 52, and the sum of four squares, 50 = 62 + 32 + 22 + 12. It is a Harshad number. In mathematics, a harshad number (or…

Day 31
…of the hostage situation…..not really it just feels that way. I am exhausted and can’t sleep. Big changes are coming for myself and my family. We are under contract on a new house and the moving stress is coming. Prayers, chocolate, and red wine will follow. Have you moved to a new city? What are…

Day 28
Exhaustion can come in different forms. You can be physically tired and an hour or two nap makes you feel better. Maybe not ready to go grocery shopping better, but less exhausted. You can be bone weary. That takes several hours of sleep to fix. There is brain exhaustion. A tired mind can’t keep thoughts…
