to blog or not to blog — is that the question

Hello, blog. Long time no write. As the two of you who still read this blog already know, I went on a social media hiatus last summer. I call it that, but what I’ve really done is absent myself from the platforms of Facebook and Twitter. The reasons for my decision are myriad, but the …

2017 Book Reads and 2018 Reading Hopes

As has become my annual tradition, here’s a list of the books I read during the previous year. In 2017 I read 66 books, beating my 2016 record of 64. Beating 2016’s record was my goal, so go me. For 2018, my goal is to read a non-fiction book concurrently with every fiction read. I’ve …

you have to name your big gulp

Me: So, I’m desperately searching for this new book I read about online. Ed: Oh? Me: Yeah, and I can’t find it anywhere. I swear I read an article about it just a few days ago. But I can’t remember the title, the author, the main character, nothing. Not even where I read about it. …

illustrations of depression (major trigger warning)

I’m using this post as a repository for images that resonate with me concerning depression, anxiety, fatigue, and so forth. Who knows? There might even be happy stuff here on occasion. But don’t expect it. This is the darkness. Here there be dragons. And they’re not the cuddly kind. _____________________________ For a long time now, …

i am so tired and i’m not okay (trigger warning: depression, anxiety, anger)

“Hey, how are ya?” “How’s it goin’?” “How’s life?” “Whatcha been up to?” “How are you?” These are all variations of the same question. They all mean the same thing. They’re all delivered in the same tone. They all expect the same style of answer. Tone: bright, casual, cheery Style: superficial In reality, this “how …

listening to the rain (a brief treatise on fresh grief)

What do you do when your head and heart both are overfull and empty at the same time? I’m sitting here in my car, parked in my driveway, waiting for my daughter to wake up so we can go into the house. She has spent the last few days and nights with my parents, and …

for Christians

I don’t often wax on (or off) about my faith on this blog–mainly because, if you’ve found your way here, you probably did so for the writing and reading and snark, not the “religion” stuff. (Note: I’m not religious. I’m a Jesus-follower. There’s a distinct difference. If you want me to wax and polish that …

reading and (w)riting, no ‘rithmetic

Last night, I wrote about my hope, my not-hope, and my forever-hope, all threaded through with the discouraging guanoshow that was 2016 A.D. Today, I turn my mind and heart to lovelier things. When it came to reading and writing, 2016 was one of my best years ever. đŸ™‚ On Reading in 2016 In 2016, …

a new hope (in the quiet, not in silence)

What a deceptive title. One, because this post has nothing to do with Star Wars, at least not directly. Two, because the hope I’m thinking of isn’t new in the conventional sense. It’s more of a renewable hope. Or a continually-renewed hope. I sit here in the final minutes of 2016 (it’s literally 5 minutes …

current events; also, stereoscopic vision really freaks me out sometimes

The second half of this entry’s title was a note I emailed to myself more than 3 years ago under subject “blog not tweet.” Actually, the email’s subject line reads, “blog not twwet,” but Ima chalk that up to typo-ing. As it turns out, there are twelve emails nested under that subject, so I’m sharing …
