Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now. And that’s a revelation for some people: to realize that your life is only ever now.

Love = Party
Dear Marshall, Last weekend was your 2nd birthday party. Family from both sides came to dine and spoil you to bits. And what a haul of gifts you got! Sand toys, water toys, clothes, books, cars, among other things. You … Continue reading
Happy Third Blogversary!
I almost missed it, but through a series of random thoughts in the shower yesterday, it occurred to me that today was to be my third blogversary. I can’t believe it’s been three years already. And I’m not quite sure … Continue reading
The Cats Are Free
We let the cats free last Saturday so the nursery could be painted. Zoulie, traumatized, has spent most of her time since hanging around the top of the stairs, crying for attention, hiding where possible. On her first day of … Continue reading

A Whole Year
The one-year anniversary of our move to RI quietly sneaked by last weekend. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year!
Resolutions Revisited
Some people say that it takes three weeks to form a new habit. If that’s true, then today is the magical day by which my New Year’s resolutions ought to have stuck if they were going to stick. So let’s … Continue reading
A Year of Reading
A love of reading doesn’t necessarily translate into a talent for picking literature apart and I sometimes wonder how I survived three years as an English major. I was reasonably good at it (they gave me a degree, anyway), but … Continue reading
