…even when you are planning a holiday without them. My holiday table has more Thanksgiving cards than usual. Usually we reach out to each other through phone calls and texting, yet this year mailed cards are making a comeback. I like it. Thanksgiving this year is just us with kiddos. No extended family.

I love TCM. Watching old movies has been a boon to my vocabulary. It’s actually uplifting to walk around claiming things are “magnificent dahling”! Always puts a smile on my face. I am enriched with my increased writing of late, correcting bad writing habits. I can’t eradicate all the errors, as some are purposeful for …

I purposely only buy the low quality peanut butter I won’t eat so I don’t end up snacking on it at 3 am. Although it seems a lot of people dislike my peanut butter, Jif. Oh well, as I say when someone doesn’t like what I am eating…more for me! We do use it to …

That building a habit thing I mentioned yesterday? I spoke too soon, because human. I almost forgot to do this today! It’s past midnight and I was getting ready to sleep when I remembered. Glad I did though. Got to keep those promises to myself! Dr. LePera would be proud. Day 6, I was grateful …

The website theme or addon I have is telling me it doesn’t enthusiastically endorse my word choses and writing style. I am scoring low on…something I am suppose to research. Eh. My journal is for me. If y’all enjoy it or take any benefit, bonus! I get a little hateful when I see websites with …
