surprising waves of grief

I’m back from my world travels!  Yayyyy!  Greece was beautiful and I look forward to returning to that part of the world.  I lived in Izmir, Turkey when I was younger and loved it.  It was a magical time in my life. Being in this part of the world again caught me by suprise.  The first couple of days I was PRICKLY!  My dear daughter only had to look at me sideways and I would start...

3 good things, so far

So far today, I have so many good things.  Nonetheless, I’ll hold it to reporting on 3 good things.  But first… Yesterday, as I contemplated 3 good things, I found myself relishing remembering the good things.  And then I felt this creeping feeling that I needed to add a new post articulating my 3 good things.  That didn’t feel so good.  Thinking that I should DO something...

Le Conte today. 3.  I talked with both Kaitlyn and Hannah (my daughters extraordinaire) on the phone today.  This may not sound so exceptional, but it is.  Not just because one...

3 for 365

I just stumbled upon this blog that delighted me.  The writer has committed to writing three good things that happen to her every day.  I love that.  It is right in line with Martin Seligman’s work, Authentic Happiness. I’m thinking that I might enjoy an experiment like this.  Maybe I’ll write about 3 good things that happen.  More likely, I’ll write about 3 moments...
