rambling once again


OK so it’s been an interesting day. Opening presents, doing laundry and dishes, arguing with a toddler when she has a tantrum because we touched her toys. Sharing is a concept that’s still a bit new to her. I think her nap wasn’t long enough but she was dry when she got up from it. We’ve worked on potty training some this week but I think whatever progress we’ve made is going to have to be started all over again during the next vacation.

I’ve been thinking about the things that we need and the things that I just want to buy. The two are getting confused in my mind so I have to make myself a nice long list for the next visit to the store. I need to leave off things that I don’t need but just want.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
