You would never paint just for the fun of playing with colors on paper
You would never write just because [...]

Creative writing prompt — the last tree standing

Write from the point of view of the last tree standing in the forest
The silence is everywhere now. The rustlings, the whispered conversations, the settling in at night and stretching in the morning to greet the sun, the deep drinking after a rain, all gone. The wind tears through here now, and the sound [...]
What is life?

That was a question that was prominent in my dream last night.
This dream, like many of my dreams, was very real, very clear, like watching a movie. It was sad and heartbreaking and oddly beautiful all at the same time. (disclaimer — I have not seen the movie AI Artificial Intelligence, but I know generally [...]

Sometimes, you just have to say….
A pup and her shadow
I really like this one, I feel like you can see the flower unfurling
A little boat and dock on the small lake near where I live
I love the dad showing his kids how to cast the fishing line
Technically, this isn’t from my neighborhood, it is from [...]
Sunday Scribblings – How I met my missing piece
Posted in Personal, happiness, love, thoughts on August 24, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I’ve thought about sharing my story with B, and then I saw the Sunday Scribblings prompt this week, title “How I met my…” and decided now that B is here (yay! and more on that in a subsequent post), that the time was right.

I got to playing with paint and color today
In real life, the color is so much more vibrant and fun, and it has lots of gold glitter on it I love it (even though the letters bled a bit)
I’m not like the girls you’ve known — again, brighter, cooler green in [...]

Some photos of me dancing at the wedding, with my mom and then my dad. The wedding was…challenging, but there were some fun moments in there as well.
My dad and I were dancing to Staying Alive, I was doing the Staying Alive finger dance here
Boston

I grew up south of Boston, and while I would occasionally go into the city, it wasn’t a regular thing when I was growing up. I never really learned what other people love about it, parts are fun to wander around, but overall, I never had a strong love for the city. Probably because I [...]
Something borrowed, something blue

This past weekend, I flew up to Massachusetts for a family wedding.
The weekend also included my belated birthday dinner with my parents and one of my best friends…and for a birthday (and Christmas!) present from my parents, I got a new lens for my camera, a 55-200 mm lens. Swoon. I love it.
I have never [...]
