Contemplating life in a convent »

Well, not for the long-term, people. Fret not. And maybe I’ve idealized the life of contemplative prayer and study (I mean, no talking after 8pm??) but as I sit my ass on this here couch just a’bloggin away, it sure sounds alluring to me. (Oops, just realized that I would most assuredly […]

How nice to have some new visitors to the House of Snark! Thanks to all the TTers who stopped by. I need to get on the blogroll and put up the links and whatnot. I had fun going to lots of different blogs, checking them out, admiring their lovely words and layouts […]

Hi sweetie,
It’s a lovely day out today and I’m glad. Seeing the blooming flowers and trees brings me joy and I think of you when I see them as well. Okay, the truth is I think of you when I see anything (ha! You found me out!). As in your life you […]

Thirteen Things I don’t “get”
1. Rap music and yes, I acknowledge I am not the target audience so it makes sense that I don’t but still … they all look totally ridiculous to me. I’m officially old, right?

The five Reiki principles start with those words: Just for today and I realize that this day is the only one I can act on (in the present moment) and be concerned about. I happened upon this blog Eat4today which incorporates the same theme of being present in your life JUST FOR […]

Loved this sentiment - well stated and from the heart.
