Since much of my vacation time was spent traveling to Ireland and Scotland this year, I think you’ll see those photos dominating my favorite shots from this year.
Man I’m glad it’s Friday. I’ve been working on so many different things this week that I’ve completely lost all track of what day it is, which makes the week seem really, really long! You know, because like Weds night I wasn’t thinking “two more days until the weekend”, I was just getting through Weds…
Pin Every Sunday evening, I go through the history of the blogs I write looking to see if there’s anything that I wrote this same week in previous years that is worth sharing again on Twitter or other social media platforms. Last night, I found an article I wrote on May 1, 2011, almost 6 years…
After spending the weekend at the in-laws for the Thanksgiving holiday, we have returned home, and as is our yearly tradition, Angela and I will make a list of the things we are thankful for. This year my list will be topped off by my health, mental and physical. It’s the top because I know…
On April 1, 2000 Angela and I went out on our first date. (Insert your own “fool” joke here) Eight years later, well, here we are. Happily married and enjoying our lives together. I point that out not so much as a way to point out how very lucky I’ve been since then (I have),…

If you’re feeling hopeless, angry, anxious, depressed, etc. because of the state of the world, or the state of your job, the losses you’ve suffered, the issues you are fighting for, the struggle to hang on to hope, you are not alone. I am with you. I see you. I share your exhaustion, frustration, anger, and your need for rest. Whether we’ve talked about this personally, or if you’re simply holding this all in and trying to keep it together, I see you. I’m with you. We are together in this, and we should share the little bits of hope with each other. They may be hard to see, but the more of us who are dedicated to looking for them, and sharing them, the more of it we’ll draw strength from.
Pin This week, I’m taking some time away from work and visiting with family and friends but I wanted to share something on the blog. I had dinner the other night with two dear friends of mine. We all used to work in the same office, and became great friends. Over the years we all went…

Thanks for sharing your favorite pictures of 2010. What a great way to end the year. Sending blessings and hugs for a glorious 2011.
Thanks Patricia, I hope you have a great new year!
It’s a tradition so good the Guardian Newspaper copies it in their year-end magazine, though of course those are the news-driven pictures, rather than the more personal selection here. I can see myself looking to the Flickr for a bigger version of the sunset pic!
