Wegmans is this fabulous grocery store/restaurant/specialty store famous here in central New York.

A Simple Life

Today is a snow day for me. I know I desperately need snow tires, the car somehow not getting traction this year. So I listened to the radio this morning, incredulous that at 6:45 no snow day had been called, fortunately I had to go downstairs to get my date book with the call-in number [...]

A still small voice. I read a book of inspirational daily meditations. I have felt like the meditations were trite the last few days. Today it said to take time to listen to the still small voice. I think meditation and yoga helps with that, but I am not sure. I am a neophyte these [...]
A changed dog

He whines so much these days. It is a constant thing. He looks at every bike as it passes, every runner, turning to watch them pass. Quiet. Hopeful. He wears his bandanas until I take them off. His fur shines, he has lost weight even though I haven’t been walking him much. Is he sick? [...]
Still very cold

I sit here on this Sunday, it is cold inside, it is cold outside, I am cold. The dog smiles and leans his body against me as we step back into the house. I keep thinking that somehow I am going to forget to go to yoga. Baby sweater torn completely out when I realized it [...]

A Giant Stomping

I realized today that the last few months have been pretty stressful. It has not just been the husband leaving nor the legal separation, nor the cyst and a couple other minor but nonetheless stressful health issues, nor my concerns about my Mom’s health. I also have had issues with my brakes which took an [...]

I opened a can of pickled beets yesterday and they are delicious. I also tried the cherries not so fabulous but I ate them after I ate the beets…really? Yes. I have used quite alot of the canned tomatoes and alot of the veggies I froze over the summer, but the truth is I really [...]
Painting Again
Posted in Painting, artwork on January 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Off and on throughout the years, I have stepped away from painting and back again several times. When I was pregnant, I stopped painting because I didn’t want to expose my unborn child to oil paint fumes and solvent. When she was an infant I was busy being a single parent and working two jobs [...]
A poem I wrote 20 years or so ago:
Posted in Uncategorized on January 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Earth flows into my eyes,
flows into my brain,
flows into my heart,
flows into my solar plexus,
flows into the earth
which is breathing against my feet
breathing against my external self
breathing against my internal egg
the earth is no more eternal than I
for I am reborn again and again and again upon it
but it is more eternal than I
for [...]
