A "Do over" June 2011 > Nov 2024

A "crazy busy work/Mom time of my life" 2011
But then, it still is, isn't it? 2024
Co-workers from my two very different jobs in the library are both on vacation this week
During "spare"? "free" ? moments here and there I was reading...
Elizabeth Berg's Once Upon A Time There Was You
For a week and a half I've been spending my entire lunch hour driving the 20mins back to home to get my 15 yrs old to Theater Camp is fortunately very close to Meredith College at Raleigh Little Theater.. June 2011
Getting to see and have lunch with teenager my girl everyday for 2 weeks was Great
Having time to sort of clear my head mid-day and figure out what is next on the very long...
Impossible, actually, list of things to do. If you know me at all, you know I do not use the word impossible lightly - but I am realistic and I do know that one person cannot possibly do the job of 3, and no one should even try (so why do I continue to try 13 years later??)
Karen and Mom Nov 13, 2024.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and Love. It is there for each and every one of us:
“May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. ." ~ Saint Terese of Liseaux
Nothing beats kindness. It sits quietly beyond all things." video by  click here to listen and watch
 June 2011
 Plenty of laundry (particularly challenging right now given that I have to start the washer with pliers) It "irks" me when people say they are "bored" Play with a child, feed the hungry, help the elderly, walk, read, color with crayons, daydream, Plant something, Paint something, clean something...
