What is it about blue bicycles? This pillow immediately caught my eye and, of course, it came home with me to spend the summer in this chair. I was looking for a summer theme pillow and this was the perfect choice! Perhaps the blue bicycle attraction is based on this one that served me well … Continue reading The Blue Bicycle
The phrase "Choose Joy" is a common one; we hear it and see it frequently. It really is true. We have to choose joy because it doesn't come find us and choose to inhabit our thoughts. When I saw this cutzie Halloween season mug it gave me joy, so I choose it and brought it … Continue reading Choose Joy

I saw down this afternoon to start a post, but instead found myself extremely frustrated with Word Press. If you use WP then you know about the Block Editor. I know about it, but haven't devoted time to learn to use it. I still switch back to Classic Editor. However, today Classic was MIA and … Continue reading Deciphering Changes That I Don’t Want To Make

One more day and August 2020 will be finished and we will turn the calendar to September. As we all know, nothing will change and we will move through another month just as we always have done. However, this year it seems that August has been a blur, a very fast blur. I haven't felt … Continue reading Almost Gone

There’s long been a business model of urgent news (“man bites dog!”), but now it’s been leveraged, amplified and optimized to suck … Continue reading The Time Drainer
Just before everything had to shut down in March I saw this beautiful pink floral fabric in a local quilt store. I passed it by as I had no project to use it for and no need to continue to stockpile (hoard) fabric. I kept thinking about it and just before the shut down went … Continue reading A Story About Completing Projects
From time to time I have what I call "church in the park" on Sunday morning. I load up one of the dogs, water bottles, and we head to San Pedro Springs Park. On Sunday morning there are only a few people out and about, much like I am, walking their dog and getting a … Continue reading An Esperanza Sunday
As I started to write this post I realized that exactly ten years ago today, March 25, 2010, I created the Small Simple Things of Life blog on BlogSpot. Today I had the intention of writing a post on the practice of restarting something that's been abandoned for a period of time, mainly this … Continue reading The 10 year re-start
