(I couldn't possibly hide my excitement about this) What did notice that you didn't notice before?" "I noticed something that the person … Continue reading Reading Workshop slice

Day 6 ~ March SOLSC This post is inspired by a post I read during last year's challenge by Maura on her blog A Work in Progress. Right now I'm...

Day 5 ~ March SOLSC I stand by my window, staring out.  Slowly, slowly, slowly, the crane lifts one steel beam off of the ground.  Gently, it glides toward the man sitting on the beam that's already in place.  He's just sitting there, legs draped over each side, straddling the beam.  Like it's no big … Continue reading Staring out my window

Day 4 ~ March SOLSC The forecast last night called for 5 - 8 inches of snow.  My grocery store had lines down the aisles, toward the back of the store, for checkout.  A friend had said that the store was crowded since early in the morning.  I had milk and bread and the snow … Continue reading Just let it be…

Day 1 ~ March SOLSC Well here I am, back for my third year. Of course with all the same nerves and questions as the first year. Will I have enough ideas to write about for 31 days? Will I have to time to write every day?  Will I have time to read and comment … Continue reading Excited for my 3rd year…

On Friday... "Mrs. Driggers, what color bracelet would you like?," asked one of my kiddos. "Oooh, I'll take rainbow.  I just love rainbows.  They bring me so much JOY," I replied. He wrote down 'rainbow' on a piece of paper and moved on to something else.  I sat and finished my snack - thinking nothing … Continue reading An act of kindness ~ #sol19

This is my third year trying One Little Word for the year.  The first two years sort of flopped.  My first word was Breathe, and it made sense to me in the moment.  However, it ended up being an impulsive choice - didn't really try it on for size.  Then the second year, I made … Continue reading One Little Word (OLW) 2019

It's National Poetry Month!  This poem was inspired by a trip to Walgreens my daughter and I made tonight. Just One Thing Went to the store for just one thing - Was that all we bought? What do you think? Hair ties, A Hairbrush, Hair clips in hand. Body wash, Loofahs, Chapstick, on man! What … Continue reading Just One Thing ~ #sol18
