Each Friday I try to gather up little bits of joy from the week and share them here. It's been another trying week, hasn't it? I almost want to go out on a limb and say that this has been the longest week ever, but then I'd worry about jinxing things! And still - there... Continue Reading →
Full of Joy Friday – Week 1 of 2021
I decided to rename my Friday series from Friday Cozies to Full of Joy Friday. I hope it captures my goal to focus on positive things from the week. But my timing is quite awful because I think it's in poor taste to simply ignore what's happened in the last few days. Instead, I'm going... Continue Reading →
2020 | What Worked For Me | What I’d Like to Change
This post is inspired by Anne Bogel at The Modern Mrs. Darcy and Emily P. Freeman. Both of these writers close out each year by asking themselves what worked? and what didn't work? I'm playing with the format a bit - taking out what didn't work and replacing it with what I'd like to change.... Continue Reading →

Friday Cozies – Week 50 of 2020
Friends, it's Friday again. I can't believe it. Each Friday I share some joy that I found throughout the week. Typically I share lots of pictures, but have struggled with that the last few weeks. But I do have a couple that sum up life right now. August really likes my new sewing spaceWe've been... Continue Reading →
Friday Cozies – Week 48 of 2020
Happy Day After Thanksgiving! I hope you had the best possible Thanksgiving for Right Now, enjoyed some delicious food, and spent a bit of time reflecting on this crazy year. Ours was low-key, just how we like it. Throughout the week I collect little moments of joy and then share them here on Fridays. It... Continue Reading →

On Fridays I collect little moments of joy from the week and share them here. I still haven't been doing a great job of taking pictures, but I have a few to share.
A Sunday Poem – When We Cease From Thought
How does Wendell Berry know what to say? This is from 2004: If we have become a people incapableof thought, then the brute-thoughtof mere power and mere greedwill think for us. If we have become incapableof denying ourselves anything,then all that we have will be taken from us. If we have no compassion, we will... Continue Reading →
