There was a time when Sundays felt like a countdown. By late afternoon, I'd already be thinking about Monday and whatever comes with it. Lesson plans, early alarms, lunches.... The weekend suddenly felt as though it had one foot out of the door... There days, I've started looking at Sundays a little differently. Not as… Continue reading The Quiet Rituals of Sunday.

The Little Things I Hope I Never Outgrow.
Growing up is a strange business. When we're children, we cannot wait to be adults. We dream about staying up late, making our own decisions and eating cake whenever we feel like it...

My Relationship with Coffee
Coffee and I have an understanding. It does not ask me to be cheerful at 5 in the morning. I do not expect it to perform miracles.

Blogging and my thoughts on it.
Daily writing promptWhy do you blog?View all responses Why do I blog? That is a qood question... I have never really thought of an answer, as nobody ever asked me before. They either just read the blog or they did not. I guess everybody has their own reason to start up a blog and focus… Continue reading Blogging and my thoughts on it.
