Once intended for function but now just for fun! Being a grandmother has been like getting the ultimate second chance to jump, run and dance around as a mother. I just returned from a week-long visit with my son’s family; said family includes my very first grandbaby! ♥ It was like … Well, it was priceless and leaves me speechless. … Priceless and without words to describe. Being able to cuddle and coo and chat for an entire week without any obligations was a gift that leaves me with no words — but overflowing with outrageous joy! Every day was the best day of my life. (Until the next day I have with my son and his family!) But more than that, it was restorative and affirming to live within a home not my own. And yet, be s... The Dessert Years . . .

Unlike in Cincinnati, people here do not immediately decide that they are going to die as a consequence. There was nobody running around in a frenzy, heading out to the nearest grocery store to buy several bags of flour that, on more sober consideration, they have no idea what to do with. We ventured out in the afternoon. Most places were closed, including the local Starbuck’s. If Starbuck’s is closed, you know it’s bad. Places that were open: a shoe store, the Boulder Café, the Boulder Book Store, though that last one was closing early due to the snow. They are plowing the snow off of the streets now. It is night after this day of snow. The crunching of the snow underneath the tractors sounds like fi... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2299225 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 05:57:22 +0100 2299225 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2207533&cid=t_242221_136_f&fid=37858&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdessertyears.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F02%2F23%2Fmake-the-choice-the-hard-choice%2F We all face The Hard Choice. The Hard Choice to pull off the layers of complaint, of self-loathing, of disdain for everyone else and the overall sense of discontent, emptiness and a sorrow that goes beyond words. To get-real. To put aside what we are feeling and to ask God, “What are You doing?” and “What [...] (Source: The Dessert Years . . . (the sequel)) The Dessert Years . . .

As I sip on my mug of café mocha (will post some recipes later …) I am pondering this about myself. Why do we do that? Why do we insist of beating ourselves over yesterday?

Comprised mostly of young people who voted yesterday (and apparently, with great enthusiasm and expectation!). And in doing so, placed their personal “blue dot” on the canvas of my great state (of red). As I approached the counter, the face of [...] (Source: The Dessert Years . . .
