You have to look hard

I was sitting here at my desk this morning and I heard birds. Not crows, not the turkey vultures but song birds! Sounds of spring are here, finally.
I distracted the kids on something else (they aren’t the best to take along for getting pictures of birds) and snuck out the front door with [...]

Carpe Diem

I’m sitting here watching Dead Poets Society and remembering how it made me feel when I first watched it.
Carpe diem became my inner motto. I tried to abandon it simply due to it’s popularity but I found myself returning to the conformity of being true to yourself and seizing the day, right [...]

Random thoughts

*I’m an RN. I’m not an MD, I can not tell you if you need surgery or not over the internet. If you are sick enough to wonder if you need surgery or not it’s probably a good idea to pay your $20 co-pay and be assessed by someone who can diagnose you.

“What’s for dinner?”

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been mentally ran into a corner and hid under a table curled up in the fetal position when hearing those 3 little words after a long day.

I’m done with school, and while things have been overwhelming at home I’ve been looking for something to do for me again. In this [...]

Back behind the lens

I’ve been caught up in so much lately that even when I’ve wanted to go shoot (rare) I’ve sat and looked at my camera and had no inspiration and when I forced myself to go out shooting I’ve come back with nothing.
I took our camera today when we went bowling and while the lighting [...]

Do you feel the silence?

I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked how I’m doing this afternoon (everyone at work knew something was up — just not what exactly) and tonight.
I don’t have an answer for them.
I’m not sure I’m feeling anything.
Hope, I think Hope is in there somewhere but when I call out to her I just [...]

To call or not to call

Two weeks from Mike’s evals has come and gone. I know they have a lot of information to go over, and that it got more in depth as they were going. I can be patient.
Time goes by, Mike tests my patience even more, and I convince myself to be patient, just a little [...]
