For now, […]

What is your definition of a date?

Bald Man and I actually made it out on a date this weekend. Yeah we did! It’s not very often that it happens anymore, so it’s a treat when it does. However, I did feel bad because I realized through this recent date that my expectations often ruin an otherwise great event.
This […]

I Love Storytime…

Yeah, I am a mom. No, I’m not talking about that kind of storytime. No toddlers sitting cross-legged on the primary-colored alphabet-themed carpet. No mothers shushing their “active” kids while tots squirm around to watch the librarian turn the colorful pages.
No, I’m talking about the kind of storytime that comes from […]

Marriage by Wendell Berry

An excerpt I found elsewhere:
It is to be broken. It is to be
torn open. It is not to be
reached and come to rest in
ever. I turn against you,
I break from you, I turn to you.
We hurt, and are hurt,
and have each other for healing.
It is healing. It is never whole.
