Letter to my body

This post is in response to the BlogHer “Letter to my Body” campaign/project/thingy.
Hey Dear!
So I thought we’d take part in this because, you know, our relationship hasn’t been all that smooth over the years. Probably because I live too much in my head and haven’t appreciated often enough what you bring to this existence. Even [...]

Conundrum

Or, “The one where I realize I’ve screwed myself over. Again.”
And no, this isn’t about the caucus.
Or is it?
I just finished Therapydoc’s post about SADs and realize that a large portion of what I’m feeling is just that. The deep end of it.
I haven’t been using my light regularly. I haven’t been able to take [...]

Beach blanket fake-out

One time, when the boys were really little, and I was staying home with them, it was a really hard winter. Cabin fever and the winter doldrums had us by the throat and wasn’t letting go.
So I cranked up the heat to around 80 or even higher (it was an old drafty house, so I’m [...]

draggin’ my wagon

Didn’t get home until 7:00 p.m. last night. I had sent a few text messages back and forth with DS1 but still there was nothing made for dinner. And he had taken a container of spaghetti out of the freezer maybe 3 minutes before I walked in the door. So we didn’t eat until after [...]

I’m probably not doing it right

But I think it’s working anyway. I love my new lightbox. L.O.V.E.
I have the floor light set to a timer and it turns on around 5:30 a.m. My alarm (radio) goes off at 5:45. At 6:00 (usually) I turn on my SAD lightbox that I have set up next to my bed and then either

Tuesday Truths

1. My lightbox came over the weekend. Yesterday (monday) I sat in front of it for approx 40 minutes at approx. 40 inches distance. I had a timer for 30 minutes but DS1 was in the shower when the time was up so I stayed in front of it. Also, I was reading Laurie’s book [...]

Just in case…

I forget and start to think that EVERYTHING on this journey is hunky and dory (because of Mr. Hockey and the swoonish feeling I have about that whole thing) I want to record a couple of things here. It is raining. again. today. Tomorrow, depending on who you listen to, is supposed to be either [...]

how can I be clearer about this?

I had a nice conversation with Mr. Hockey last night. It was good to hear his voice. We made plans for the weekend so that I can make plans for the dog. He’s ramping up to the busy season with his son’s hockey season. I wonder a little how that’s going to impact the limited [...]

done. ordered. is it here yet?

Now I just have to hang on until it arrives.

It’s supposed to be rainy and overcast all week. Again.

darker and darker

it’s noticeable now
how you’re leaving us
turning your face from us
to go to your others
to bring them your warmth and love
leaving us to make due with only a fraction
of what you once provided
it can’t be ignored anymore
soon your harsh alternate will have custody
his scent is already in the air in the mornings
soon his traces will be [...]

Welcome!

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
