…here! I’m normally at least a day or too late at checking out this site. Jen Gray is a great photographer and often has some really beautiful posts that speak to the soul.  Today was no exception!

Sunday musings pre-coffee

Feb. 7, 2010 No Comments Posted under: General

I got up barely in enough time to get ready for church this morning…and then suddenly it was 9am which is when church starts and I wasn’t even out the door. The upside was that I am up, dressed and have some time to do something… I do want to catch up on facebook and [...]

It’s the new year – for some reason it’s seen as the momentous time when we look back at the 365 days past and review and look forward to the next 365 – and so the 1st day in January becomes loaded with meaning, sometimes regrets and a whole bunch of expectations for what the [...]

Talking points, Stateside!

Sep. 5, 2009 No Comments Posted under: General

Healthcare reform is a hot topic here right now. To be honest I’ve not had the inclination to really follow all the ins and outs of what people are suggesting here – so much of the talk seems crazy! It boggles my mind that some people think that nothing needs to be changed here…apparently around [...]

The slow start

Sep. 2, 2009 No Comments Posted under: General

I’m not a morning person. I do like being up, but I’m a groggy mess for the first hour or so! It’s one of the few times I get in the day to just be…I know, I know, there’d be more in the day if I carved out the time! There’s less cluttering the day [...]

Heavy hearted

I read the news and my heart just sinks.  The fear here locally about the economy and jobs is dwarfed by the Palestinian/Israeli situation.  The stories, the pain, the images, the anger and hate – the humanity of each person is lost and the innocent are caught and pay the heaviest price.  Lord have mercy.

1st January 2009

So, it’s day one of the year 2009.  And the first day of my new website format…it’ll probably change a bit over the next wee while as Matt also upgraded WordPress too and there’s new stuff to play with! The only resolution I have was made with a work colleague a couple of weeks ago…less [...]

Borrowing

So, I started a post on Sunday, left it half done to do something, forgot about it, and lost a good chunk of writing. This week has been tough – in fact the past month has been tough with some difficult things happening at work along with having various staff off who I’ve had to [...]

TGIF

Oct. 3, 2008 1 Comment Posted under: General

Indeed, indeed – hooray for the weekend!  This week feels like one of the longest there’s been in a long while!  With students in on Monday, Thursday and Friday this week I’ve hardly spent any time at my desk and rarely been able to leave work before 6pm…tonight I left “early” at 5.30pm!  But the [...]

Still here

I survived. I went on the Women’s Retreat this weekend for the church I have been attending for all of, about 2 months!  I went on my own, was paired up with a random roommate and knew one person who was coming late. I was scared.  Aptly the theme of the weekend was “do not [...]
