Girls are great!

February 2, 2011January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

Recently, while sorting through boxes of old papers, I came across several files and binders of my daughter's Girl Scout badge activities. She was an active member of the organization from Kindergarten through sixth grade. This worksheet, filled out when she was probably around 11, was a interesting peek into my daughter's adolescent mind. Today, ten … Continue reading Girls are great!

Junkyard

February 1, 2011January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 9 Comments

If I were a car, I'd be an antique and could wear one of those cerulean blue tags. A piece of furniture, an heirloom to be fought over by my surviving beneficiaries. If I were a work of art, I'd be in the public domain, having been born prior to 1963 and failing to renew copyrights. … Continue reading Junkyard

“Nature is by and large to be found out of doors, a location where, it cannot be argued, there are never enough comfortable chairs.” ~ Fran Lebowitz I sit and wait for that phone call that tells me you are okay and your surgery went well. That you will be around to meet your grandchildren. … Continue reading Sitting, waiting, watching

Forgiveness is not always an option

January 27, 2011January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

I am angry and, at this point in time, not even contemplating offering forgiveness to the person I feel betrayed me. It's a pattern. One that is fueled by a lust for attention, and if truth doesn't provide it, lying can. It makes it all the more vile that this betrayal was not limited to … Continue reading Forgiveness is not always an option
