The Good Fight


This speaks to me in volumes I cannot begin to express. It's not my story to tell, the parts of it that are mine to tell aren't easily extricated from the bigger picture. I haven't entirely won at this point, but I have begun to let my guard down. To relax a bit and believe that the worst of it is over. To embrace the happiness that I feel even though I am well aware of how quickly and easily it can be snatched out from under me. I wish you well in your own private battles. All of us experience them and often put on a brave face for the world to see. The struggle is real. Above all else, be kind.

Blessed Solstice


 Summer has arrived! Celebrate accordingly.


My New Favorite Word


My cousin Cory often shares new and interesting words with me. Sitooterie is the latest word and it is my current favorite. Join us in our crusade to abandon the far less interesting words such as patio, deck, porch, or lanai and refer to our outdoor socializing areas as sitooteries! Plus I enjoy the fact that there is a toot in the middle. If you ask me, the only appropriate place, aside from the bathroom, to toot is outdoors. And what better place to toot than your sitooterie!

Tea. Outdoors. When It's Raining.


 It's a cool, rainy morning in the Pacific Northwest.
