31 Days: Move

Melissa
October 15, 2016January 3, 2025 No Comments

After a long week, sometimes the hardest thing for me to do is to get moving on the weekend.  I’ve spent the entire workweek running crazy, multi-tasking so many things at once, that on the weekends my brain just decides to go on strike… and if that means I’m not getting going, well… that’s my […]

31 Days/Five Minute Friday: Mail

Melissa
October 14, 2016January 3, 2025 No Comments

This week’s Prompt is:  MAIL Okay… had to laugh at this prompt.  Of all of the one word prompts for Five Minute Friday, the one about mail… one of my life-long obsessions, is the one that trips me up and puts me behind in keeping up with the 31 Day Challenge. (Fitting, isn’t it) So… […]

31 Days: Thanks

Melissa
October 11, 2016January 3, 2025 No Comments

It’s a simple little word, “thanks.” It’s not said enough in our society – often due to simply being busy, sometimes because it’s routine things that seem so routine that they defy appreciation, and sometimes because the person who should have said it doesn’t care to do so. It’s become so rare in some circles […]

Hi, I'm Measi

about
(a/k/a Melissa)

I'm turning 50 in 2025, and exploring this new decade of my life with a refocus on blogging about my life - marriage, parenthood, being owned by cats, Paganism, cross stitching, journaling, books, and letter writing... and probably some other stuff along the way. Nothing monetized here - just old-fashioned personal blogging.
