Wishing my blog readers
the best holiday season ever.

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. I find it to be an insightful sociological experiment. Here are some of my favorites from the last couple weeks:

My daughter may have authored this one.

I started having similar feelings,
then remembered that the gifts were picked,
wrapped and given with love.
(I'm ashamed I felt that way).

Sometimes I do, too.

I'd appreciate them more if they were
less insistent 'Republican'
and more accommodating 'Family.'

I know the feeling.

No one deserves to be lonely,
so I forgave my dad.

Sunday Secrets: December 13, 2009

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. I find it to be an insightful sociological experiment. I liked these three secrets today:

Sometimes they start out as fear
then evolve into heroism.

I've seen folks use this as a cop-out
for not taking responsibility
for their own actions or decisions.

I often wonder
who will show up
at my funeral.

Something to Consider

Our Deepest Fear
A message of inspiration

Dare to be brilliant, talented,
gorgeous, talented

Sunday Secrets: December 06, 2009

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. I find it to be an insightful sociological experiment. I related to these three secrets today:

I prefer the two male doctors
over the female nurse practitioners
that have helped me.
They've both been MUCH more gentle!

Glad that dating part of my life is over.
The "Christian" guy that refused my affection
left me feeling like some kind of slut for asking.

From PostSecret Germany:
Guess these overwhelmed feelings
are world-wide.

A Bit o' Joy

I rejoice in life
for its own sake
~ George Bernard Shaw

What a wonderful sentiment.
I choose to live this way today.

Of course, on a cold but sunny winter day in north Idaho
that's pretty easy to do.

The trick, of course,
is to keep on rejoicing in life
even when the clouds roll in.

I think I'll give it a go anyway.
How 'bout you?

Sunday Secrets: November 29, 2009

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. I find it to be an insightful sociological experiment.

I've been away for a while, traveling as far as Pittsburgh, PA and Portland, OR ... checking out universities with my daughters. Then there was Thanksgiving ... then my birthday. And someplace in there I was sick for a couple days.

It feels good to feel good and be happy ... and catch up on PostSecret and blog! These seven secrets from the last three weeks tickled my fancy. And everybody knows it's great to have one's fancy tickled every now and again!

Ahhhhhh!
I enjoy being the adult who makes up stories
like this for little ones.

Ahem.

My kids roll their eyes when I do it,
but I often find myself whistling "Jingle Bells"
and "Deck the Halls" throughout the year.

I think God IS the love of friends!

Some very special moments happened between my mom and me
... and again with my dad and me
... in the minutes before they died.

I'm CERTAIN my brain doesn't function exactly as it should,
and I do change it, slightly, for the benefit of my family.
It's difficult to live with someone who doesn't manage a mental illness.

I want to be like him when I grow up!
I think I'm on a pretty good path.

The Happy Couple

I simply like this photo of our president and the first lady at the state dinner.

They have such a great connection in the way they look at each other.
