All My Pets are Named Peeve
It’s true. Mostly. I have a cute little puppy named Jett. That’s short for his registered foo-foo name of Jett Sun’s Joie de Vie Song. Pretentious, pompous, and hard to spell. His registered name reads Jett Sun’s Joie de Vie Song. Joie de Vie is a French phrase meaning Joy of Life. But I digress. But all […]

A Chansonette
Here begins this chansonette. This may be higgledy-piggledy, A verse prone to rejectamenta, A bit of flapdoodle-doo, With lots of squiggle-diggle-ty. I nearly spewed my mawkish tea, While expanding my vocabulary, The word-of-the-day’s speciality, This assignment is now quite ready to go, you see? yet I have mispronounced thee. Please forgive. Most of this piece […]

Ye Ol’ Switcheroo
The Relentless Search For Balance My most recent post of eons ago, I wrote of my journey that began in the early months of 2020 of developing new habits; tasks performed daily in increments of 20 minutes each day.

The hardship of this unprecedented time is unfathomable; for everyone. Yet, I have observed a few personal benefits since Shelter-In Place (SIP) orders were […]

Trash Collectors ––An Underappreciated Profession
In my last post I wrote about completing a daily gratitude list of a minimum of 20 items. Some things that I am most thankful for show up repeatedly, such as indoor plumbing. (See previous post for the reason I don’t take indoor plumbing for granted.) Why purposely practice an attitude of gratitude? As […]

A Lot Like Seinfeld
According to WordPress statistics, I posted here two times in 2019. For someone who recently graduated with a BA in English with a Specialization in Writing, that fact is utterly abhorrent. The truth is that my inner monologue has been saying things such as “I don’t have anything to say that is worth reading.” It […]

Day 364
I am ending day 364 doing what I love: writing for the pure joy of writing. The little ditty below contains 16 names familiar to my childhood. Can you guess what they refer to?* Through the days of my life, I have ascribed to a guiding light, While leading all my children through the edge […]
