Day 185: Interdepend
OK, OK–I’ve probably already used up my yearly allotment of bad puns and made-up words, but I couldn’t help myself today. Just a short post to note that on a day celebrating “independence,” it’s worth taking a moment to acknowledge … Continue reading
Day 184: Prep
There’s a lot of prepping going on around here, that’s for sure–ten days away from my departure and 17 days for the rest of the family. Sure, there’s the boxes that still need to be packed. And yes, the final … Continue reading

Day 179: Hesitate
OK, “hesitating” doesn’t really sound too much like living deliberately, but hear me out on this one. I was up super-early this morning to get my son to his training camp. Then back home, to pay some bills and to … Continue reading
Day 178: Seal
Whoa, that’s a ton of stuff! I mean, literally. That box is supposed to hold 2000 lbs, and I’m guessing that’s probably a pretty good estimate of how much stuff is packed away in there. It took several weeks of … Continue reading
Day 177: Overlook
And I mean that word quite literally, as in: actively not looking at something. In this case–that box of notebooks and papers I just pulled out of the attic. OK, I did peek–very quickly, though. The box contained essays I … Continue reading
Day 176: Lighten
