It’s Okay
There are days I just can’t write. When I say that, I don’t mean I didn’t write anything, since I am always writing. There are days that I don’t work on the story that has been brewing in my head. The one I thought I was writing next. After all, I am still writing my […]
Wondrous outside
My Midwestern state of Iowa is expected to have some beautiful temperatures the next few days, and has had glorious sunshine the past two beautiful days. Yesterday, the husband and I went on a small walk around downtown Des Moines, enjoying fresh air that wasn’t breathtakingly chilly. I am currently outside as I type this, […]
Frustrations and Patience… a waiting game

On one hand, it’s an over-commercialized day filled with a bunch of expectations and hype and let downs. But on the other hand, it’s […]
Sky
I love looking at the sky. I have always been a cloud watcher. I have always watched for raptors soaring and various birds in formation. I have watched planes landing or taking off from the nearby airport. I have watched many a storm go by, illuminating the skies with spectacular light shows. I have watched […]
Spring is coming
Though it’s been a bit chilly the past few days here in Iowa, there’s a bit of a change in the air. The days are getting longer. It’s no longer after dusk when I come home from my full time job after five in the evening. I am able to marvel most days at the […]
