Once again, I declared that I was going to write more, and once again I failed miserably at blogging for thirty straight days. Is it horrible that I am completely okay with that? I blogged more, and I wrote more. Progress, not perfection. As a recovering perfectionist who once lived life berating herself for everything … Continue reading Ahhh, the Best Laid Plans

Summer Will Always Have My Heart, Heat and All
Do you prefer Summer? Winter? Spring? Fall? Heat, humidity, all of it, I will take summer any day. My friend Natalie sent me a pic of her dash today around 2pm. 118 degrees F. I was stunned. I know a vehicle parked in the sun shows an exaggerated temperature, but that’s high even in Savannah … Continue reading Summer Will Always Have My Heart, Heat and All
It’s a Summer Miracle!
Okay, that's dramatic. But that's how it feels as I'm sitting down to write a blog post for the third day in a row. This one will be fast and furious because I need some sleep. Today was busy and hot. Have you ever noticed how people in the southern U.S. love to talk about … Continue reading It’s a Summer Miracle!
Why Do I Hate it So Much When People Say ‘Just Make it a Habit’? UGH!
I'm wide awake at an hour when I should be sleeping. We had pretty strong afternoon storms today and lost power for a couple of hours. I was home alone and made an unwise decision to nap on the couch, so here I sit. Habits fascinate me. I am super inspired by people who come … Continue reading Why Do I Hate it So Much When People Say ‘Just Make it a Habit’? UGH!

A Quick Check-in…
Hello, my dear Grief Happens readers. I've missed you! I'm fighting the urge to vomit out everything that's going on in my life. I mean...I want to share, but it feels like too much. Not too much in the normal way that I typically feel like it's all too much, though. This feels heavier and … Continue reading A Quick Check-in…
View From the Couch
So THIS happened over the weekend: Yes, friends, I jacked up my knee, so I'm practicing RICE. That's Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. I forget that I'm clinically hyper until something of this nature forces me to sit still for extended periods of time. This is day three of this RICE jazz and I am over … Continue reading View From the Couch

Thank You, Decoding Bipolar
I always have a difficult time accepting awards. I think it's my anxiety. I would rather hide. I also struggle with following rules, so there's that. Still, I am ALWAYS appreciative of my fellow bloggers who take the time to recognize my blog. First up, Decoding Bipolar nominated me for the Black Cat Blue Sea … Continue reading Thank You, Decoding Bipolar
