"That's wild." This phrase has been added to Urban Dictionary and is defined as: "another way of saying 'that's crazy', but with more emphasis." Sitting in the coffee shop trying to write about wild in my life, through my perspective, the famous phrase—"one wild and mrmrmememr life"—digs through my brain.

What I Read This Winter
The books I read this past Winter. Less reviews and more a collection of thoughts and anecdotes.
Finding Cozy
Upon writing this, Ant and I took a walk today in 60-something-degree weather. We wore t-shirts and opened our windows before we left...Upon returning home, the windows remained open and I walked around the house barefoot for the rest of the afternoon. When I first read through this month's inspiration for the theme, I had images of Ant and I playing in the snow (during our Bermuda Triangle week), the Christmas light glow, and wearing slippers and favorite pajama pants... As I write this, we've closed the windows and I've put my socks back on. I'm at the dining room table, soaking up the last of the light from the day. (I'm so thankful the light is still around at 5:36pm.) I do have a light blanket over my lap and I'm wearing a light cardigan that I bought at Goodwill a couple weeks back. But I don't' feel cozy, maybe just comfortable...The cats certainly have cozy figured out..."
Confidence Lately
Noticing what confidence looks like in my life lately through this month's blog hop theme.
Marking Time
"I hold on to dates like others hold onto pictures and ticket stubs and brochures. I hold onto those too, but dates mean something entirely different for me. I remember the dates of important conversations, when I started counseling, birthdays, anniversaries. It's a common phrase in our household for me to start a conversation with, 'Oh! A year ago today we...' I put the date on Everything."
Of Dice and Cats
Last Tuesday night I couldn’t sleep, so I got out of bed at 11 and wrote at my desk until I felt tired. I made very few corrections to this piece, just added connecting phrases that make it flow better. I need to start remembering that June is a busy month for us. The weekend … Continue reading Of Dice and Cats
