Sometimes there are no profound endings, no last words of significance. Sometimes things just fade away. How did we become such strangers? There are no more fights. No more tears. No more raised voices. No more trying. Just sand slipping through your fingers. A break up that wasn’t. How did this happen to us? You’re [...]

I’d been saving the bottle. It was special. Something I’d hoped to drink for a special occasion. A celebration. Nothing poignant, nothing bittersweet. Just simply, happy. But the months passed and there it sat, nearly forgotten. And, life went on and nothing much, nothing good anyway, happened. The bottle became a fixture of the crisper [...]

Everyone always says that change is a good thing. That it’s inevitable. Happens whether we like it, whether we want it, or not. Change is an opportunity. Maybe. But what about when you force change? What about when you really want change to happen, so much so that you make it happen? What then? No [...]

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Last night, my boyfriend sat slumped over my laptop. He was showing me his commitment, his desire to be with me. And I was showing him my openness to change, my desire to be with him. In the wake of our trip to Seattle and Alaska, a decision was reached: no more retreating to our [...]

People have this unsurprising tendency to come and go from my life- how dare they! In truth, I recognize it happens to all of us. But it’s strange how all the quirks of your knowing them- all The Days That Have Meaning- go along with the person. Except that they don’t really. The memory of [...]

Every year about this time I think of that Christmas years ago; the excitement of having a houseful of family, the first Christmas for my family in years that an actual child would open presents- my then five year-old cousin.
