Welcome!

Every night I go to bed, I have thoughts swirling in my head. Things to do. Scrapbook pages I want to create. Gifts I want to make. Skills I want to learn. And, of course, daily happenings that I don't want to forget, but invariably will by tomorrow morning, only to pop up in a random thought weeks down the road. So, here I am. I may use this blog daily to empty my head and heart before cuddling up in my duvet, or as it may be, I may write in it once a month. Who knows. It is for me, but perhaps something I write or learn may spark a fire in someone else. Perhaps it may quiet a mind or make you feel like you are not alone out there. It is for me. But perhaps it is for you.

Ode to Technology

I could write a poem here, but let's face it - I've been up since 3:30 a.m. and it would not be pretty.  So instead I will just say a few thank yous.

Thank you to...my bathroom fan for calming Nico down when nothing else works, and even when something else might work, the fan is much faster.

Thank  you to... my smart phone for entertaining me both during middle of the night feeds and on the occasion that Nico falls asleep on me and I don't, for the love of sanity, dare wake him up.

Thank you to...the invention of the baby carrier.  It has not only given my sweet baby a place to nap for long hours but has allowed me to feed him while walking Kai to school, wash some dishes and get some writing down.  Yes, my back is killing me, but it is a small price to pay for some quiet, personal time.  (Note: not really sure if this one qualifies for technology, but I'm thankful nonetheless.)

Thank you to...our new dishwasher.  Yes, we overwork you, but you have our undying love.

Lastly, for now, thank you to...our computer and the invention of the world wide web, for bringing me Netflix to add some variety to what can sometimes be a monotonous (although taxing) day.

Technology, oh
technology, thank you for the peace you bring to my life.
