Random Thoughts

  • Independence – Financial and Emotional – I gave my boys a lecture today. About the importance of hard work and getting a good job and setting oneself up so they could be independent in their adulthood. That isn’t where I’d started the talk. It was more from frustration that they were not focusing hard enough on their studies, and that I […]
  • What a Meandering Useless Pile of Words – I seem to find myself with a desire to write. This desire has been absent for quite a while, so I welcome it’s return. Though nothing is quite as boring to read as a writer expressing a desire to write. So, to relieve you from the boredom of reading about this desire, I have changed […]
  • Walking the Goderich G2G Trailhead – This weekend a friend and I decided to walk the starting – or ending – point of the G2G Rail Trail in Ontario. The G2G, or Guelph to Goderich trail is an ~130 km public hiking trail on what was once a railroad link between the towns of Guelph and Goderich. Now maintained by a […]
  • Grey matter, souls and meta-physical thoughts – I read somewhere in a book a long time ago that God existed because humans had the capacity to think of a god. That without the capacity to imagine a thing, the thing cannot exist. I don’t like that. Too many flaws in that theory. Atoms existed before we knew about them. And yes, we […]
  • My Religious Epiphany – I know, this is a large title. It can imply so much. Put fear into the hearts of some, hopeful anticipation into the hearts of other. Let’s see where you will lie. My calendar reminded me it has been one year of me having moved into my own house. 7 months before that, I moved […]
  • I Want My Words Back – I just deleted a whole 400 words I had written. They were that bad. The worst part of being happy – for me – is that I have lost my ability to write. When I was depressed and living a life that was not meant for me, words came freely. Easily. It was cathartic. I […]
  • OMG! The Stuff I wrote! – I recently did a google search on my NEW name Why do women change their name when they get married?!?!? And then, when you divorce, you need to change it back! It’s such a fricken hassle!!! I came across a few articles I wrote in the early 2000’s as a part of the “Story of […]
  • Finding my Center – My brain has not had space for my own words lately. There is so much external that occupies it. Schedules. Deadlines. Budgets. Spreadsheets. Exams.Children arguing. Dinner cooking. So much space is filled with other. Some universe spills over into mine, and I have no choice but to deal with it. Only to realize that my […]
  • Manic Depression – Is that a thing?! – So, I’m sitting at work. At my desk. Beside me is my fellow project manager and in front of us is our boss.It’s been a tough day. Busy, but good. A normal day in the life of a project manager working with awesome people. Well, mostly awesome people.It’s around 3PM, so the end of the […]
  • The Festive Season – I’m sitting here at a café. It’s late morning on a Friday. The drive in was not too bad, except for the fact that my car was out of windshield fluid. The slush splattering onto the car made it hard for me to see. Note to self, get windshield fluid. I’m sipping hot chocolate. Not […]
