My husband and I at the same time ordered the same books on Amazon! Who does that? We not only finish each other’s sentences but without even realizing it we do and say so many things the same at the same time. That’s not creepy, it is connection. Find that one human you can connect…… Continue reading Same Brain

Day 118
Being a human #118 Not everyone you love will love you in return. Just accept that as truth and let it go. When other humans do love you for real, it’s the best happiness you can experience.
Day 115
Being a human #115 Humans are allowed to expect the fellow humans in their lives, homes and families to do what what is right. Humans are allowed to place expectations on the members of their household. Humans are allowed to be grumpy when those other humans do not do as they are expected. Today, I…… Continue reading Day 115
Day 109
Being a human #109 Memories are important. Stop telling other humans that they’ve already told that story many times. The story allows them an opportunity to relive their past. We are all stories.

Day 75
Today 34 years ago I became a mother. It is a scary, thrilling, beautiful thing to be. You are always a parent once you become one. It isn’t something you ever finish doing or being.

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…… Continue reading Day 51

This day flew by in a blink. House hunting is a crazy whirlwind.
