Welcome to my 51st Year!
Today, I turn (turned) 51. It is completely surreal, let me tell you. I remember 18. Heck, I remember turning 10. I remember many stops between 10 and now. For example, 30, we had moved into the house and I was alone. While there were family activities planned around the weekend, the actual day, I…

Day 30: Best Things!
The best thing that happened in June! It has been a weird month. This writing has been amazing. Kid finishing his course was great. But hands down? Best thing was ‘pooling’ today with my sister & niece. What is pooling? Technically, it’s swimming, but less swimming, more floating, laughing, and having drinks! We had a…

Day 29: The future’s so bright!
Things that seem bright about your future! In 1986, a band called Timbuk 3 released a song called The Future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades. As far as I know, it was the their only hit. But what a hit it was, it is one of those phrases that has been adopted in to…

Day 28: Past Love
Things you love about your past. Now, when I first read this prompt (at the first of the month), my gut response was “Not a hell of a lot.” Now that I’ve had the month to mull it over, I do feel differently. ‘The past’ doesn’t just mean childhood or teenage years, my 20s, etc.…

Day 27: Present love!
Things you love about the present. I love that I am working to take care of myself. Whether that is through taking classes on self-betterment, finding time to connect with people important to me, taking Lily for a walk, or eating a delicious meal. Finding and figuring out what is important to me is truly…

Day 26: Best Decision
The best decision you’ve ever made. I thought about this one most of the day and still haven’t really come up with a sold answer. Having my son. Changing jobs. Choosing life. All excellent decisions! Finally, I decided, I’ve yet to make the best decision of my life! That means there is still more to…

Day 25: Birthday!
Your favourite birthday or celebration. I like birthdays. I like throwing birthday parties. Specifically, children’s birthday parties. When my son was small, starting with his first birthday, I started planning and throwing fairly elaborate parties. Handmade invitations, decorations, cakes. His first was Pocoyo. Second – Mega Blocks. Third – dinosaurs. Fourth – race cars. Fifth…

Day 24: Happy Memories
Happy memories from your favourite get together! Over the years, there have been some good get togethers. With friends, with family, so picking some memories wasn’t hard – filtering through them and picking one set was difficult. Many years ago, my Dad & Step Mom used to plan a family camping trip to a nearby…

Day 23: By your side
The people who were by your side during difficult times. While there is a wider network I can turn to, I think everyone has a couple key people they rely on. These are my people. My sister. I would not exist if I didn’t have her in my life, plain and simple. She was my…
