Day 94 – Bittersweet Martini – Playing House
This week has been akin to taking a starving Ethiopian, bringing them to a buffet to feast all they want, and then dragging them reluctantly back to their life devoid of food. D and I have spent most...

Day 116 – Expectation Martini – I don’t ever want to let you down
This is my new favorite play over and over song by Imagine Dragons. It’s a good sing-along-badly to song while I’m drinking my tea on my morning commute. It wakes me up. It’s catchy. The line I like...

Day 186 – Tough Martini – Fight Back Day
There has been a lot of turmoil in my silly, little life recently, and I have been feeling rather yucky (that is a technical term). It is not a feeling I savor. I went to bed early last night in an...

Day 227 – Grounded Martini – Change
Change is good, but change is hard. I never thought at 44 years old I would be starting my life over again. Life is a series of stops and starts, of course, but I think we reach a certain point in...
