Midweek musings
I took last night off my blog. I’d thought about writing, then deliberately made the choice not to. My year of blogging dangerously was over months ago, but I’m happy to find that it has remained a valuable part of my day, on most days, at least. Yesterday however, was not one of those days.…

Thoughts on an open road
Memory is a funny thing; It feels like just yesterday when I last made the drive, back and forth through the never-ending prairie skies Today they were overcast and grey, Sometimes the sun shone down, Sometimes the rain was in my way. My thoughts ran rampant, Steering their own destiny as we drove So many…

Sick tummy Tuesday
Ask any parent and they’ll tell you- there’s absolutely nothing compared to the feeling of having a nice, silent cup of coffee first thing in the morning.

Life’s little moments
Today I celebrated life. I cleaned, mopped and did laundry, Dishes, tidying, the works. I took my children to play, And we decided which kind of dragons we’d be, Which powers we’d have All because we read ‘dragon water’ Instead of drinking water On the back of a truck I held my little one as…

Goodnights
Another Friday here again, But this time, Sadness is my companion The pain of living Poignant and sharp Those I love, Those I don’t know Lives intricately torn apart Memories of the way They once were Now, at the close of the day All faded and grey I can still remember music Chords on a…

Ben and Jerry and Wednesday
The first full day back at work this week. I feel like I should be all caught up but instead the opposite is true. I’m so behind I’m starting to lap myself. The smoke outside was so thick from the fires in BC that it looked like fog, altering reality to a version eerily the…

Home
The relief I feel is deep and washes over me A wave on the shore of home I’m exhausted Yet enriched While in need of my bed, I’m so proud of my children Who were amazing again As we woke early and drove until supper Although occasionally one would break down, They handled the day…
