Gleanings
- Thank you for tolerating white board markers that never have enough ink, hours that never have enough minutes, and parents that never have enough empathy for what you deal with in a given day.
- This is NOT what I thought I was signing up for that summer when I decided I wanted to do this for a living.
- And tweeting small observations about the world around me, as well as lifting up others’ voices, is enough to keep me checking in.
- Can I hope we will meet in person someday, coffee cake or no coffee cake, to continue the conversation? GAH. Sometimes I miss people. In person. A lot. And I’m an introvert who loves being at home in her comfy pants!
- Women are like that, putty in their stylist’s hands. Hoping the blonde will darken in a few months, I will return to him, because I still believe in his skills. And yes, I want to look good, even while going grey.
- It’s as if that one remark moved us into something different, from strangers to fellow travellers, from small talk, into conversation.
- Our walks were how we connected with a city in lockdown and how we stayed close to nature, to ourselves and to each other.
- Why don’t you try something you haven’t done and why don’t you see where it takes you? Why don’t you.
- It’s funny how you can set your life up to be the way you want it to be, and then forget to appreciate it.
