Nature Notebook

Happy April! Happy April!

The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day. When the sun is out and the wind is still, You’re one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, a cloud come over the sunlit arch, And wind comes off a frozen peak, And you’re two months back in the middle of March.” ~ Robert... [Read more of this review]

Sounds of the Night Sounds of the Night

We’ve been blessed to have been experiencing warmer temps of late. Spring has finally sprung. It’s warm enough to crack the windows at night and allow the sounds of the night lull one to sleep and then to wake up to a gentle chill and stillness of the morning. A soft breeze comes and goes, carrying with it all the lovely neighborhood sounds... [Read more of this review]

Nature Notes: November 23, 2009 Nature Notes: November 23, 2009

The days have become increasingly shorter. So much so, that I long for the dog-gone days of summer. I wait in anticipation for the new season to come around once more – to allow me more “day” time. The weather has been hot, cold, rainy, and foggy. Today, it is muggy. The temperature lingers around 71 degrees farenheit. At times, I... [Read more of this review]

~ Do stop by Peggy’s for all the Daybook links this week. ~ *** FOR TODAY The 28th day of December 2009 Outside my window is the stillness of the night. The air is crisp.

Dealing with Hateful People Dealing with Hateful People

“Quality of life depends on what happens in the space between stimulus and response.” ~ Stephen Covey We have all encountered these lost souls. I personally equate hateful people to the grade school bully. You know the one – he or she cuts everyone else down to make himself or herself feel better. They actually have the audacity to... [Read more of this review]

Reflection Reflection

One of the concepts that I like the most about education is the reflection process. It one of those universal tools. I went home to try to put some distance between myself and my current situation (i.e. a marriage that is at best, floundering; at worst, downright torturous). I came into a lot of clarity about what I wanted once I was able to put the... [Read more of this review]
