Day 142: Reset
I think I have to reset my clock by a little bit. I realized today just how not in the moment I have been lately. Everything that I am doing, it seems, is aimed at that date in mid-July when … Continue reading
Day 101: Balance
I’m not sure I would go as far as saying that I’m in the bardo right now, but as the days go on, I am certainly feeling more and more like I am between two worlds. Today, we visited the … Continue reading
Day 99: Unscript
OK, I know–it’s not really a verb, but I’m using it as a verb. We are supposed to leave town today at about 3 pm. Yes, I know: it is now 3:48 pm as I’m writing this sentence…. Here’s how … Continue reading

Day 52: Nap
Wow, this so feels like a cheat today. I mean, come on: nap??!? I went back and forth with titles before I got started here. I’ve been trying not to recycle challenges by name, though certainly there are plenty of … Continue reading
Day 44: Breathe
OK, so today was a major thaw day, but it was also yet another day of kids and parents at home during a work/school week. As I’ve written about before, remaining housebound for too long can put me on edge. … Continue reading
Day 39: Share
I wouldn’t say I’m particularly selfish when it comes to things. I have no problem sharing what I have. But when it comes to doing things… now that’s a different story. Today’s experiment: share responsibilities. We have one heck of … Continue reading
