Ya know that silly thing that happens when you buy brand new white tennis shoes and it becomes abundantly clear just how very dingy the old ones were.?

One of my favorite things in life is reading.
Reading, curled up in a comfy chair. With a blanket round my feet and a cat trying desperately to get between me and the book and a mug of tea somewhere in arms reach. Rainy or cold days are a bonus.

I just went to a fabulous lunch with my co-workers.
A couple of months ago we won a $100 gift card to a local restaurant and we’ve been trying to find a good time when we could all go to lunch ever since. We meet every Monday morning and the subject always comes up. [...]

I generally have a lead foot on the highway. I think it’s cause I’m visually bored. I mean there’s just not much to look at.
the long ribbon of asphalt (or pavement)

Martin and I were reading a devotional on grief. One of the questions we were supposed to think about was of the “record your feelings from a time when you lost someone dear to you” order. And that’s when it occurred to me:
