“Family-Like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, Yet our roots remain as one.” Anon. I would like to introduce into this big, beautiful, crazy, wonderful world my second great-nephew, Carson Remington Mitchell. He weighs only 4 pounds, 3 ounces.

“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” Harriet Beecher Stowe I’ve been fighting negative feelings today, not from myself, […]
“All things be ready, if our mind be so.” Shakespeare, Henry V Today we made the Boy Scout motto “be prepared” as our own. Tonight mom is going to drink a cup of tea, maybe with a drop of scotch in it. She is going to sit down with some F. Scott Fitzgerald, and spend […]

I have absolutely no topic picked to write about today because I spent the day taking down Christmas decorations while kids were in school. Yesterday’s sunset marked the beginning of Twelfth Night and tradition states that it’s bad luck to have […]
“If you spend too long holding on to the one who treats you like an option, you will miss finding someone who will treat you like a priority.” Anon. I wanted to have this posted before now but the cold-that-wasn’t has become the cold-that’s-trying to-kick-my-butt as of yesterday. After a miserable night and day I’ve […]
The word IMPERFECT actually spells I’M PERFECT. Because everyone is perfect in their own imperfect ways. Anon. Isn’t it funny how you can be searching for something and you can’t find it and, after hours of searching, you finally find it in the oddest of places, usually the most obvious? All day I’ve been […]
“For a new year to bring you something new, make a move, like a butterfly tearing its cocoon! Make a move!” Mehmet Murat Ildan Today is the first day of the rest of the year! Don’t begin the way you ended. Start new, start fresh, and make a difference starting today! Be someone’s miracle each […]
