Wonderful Day| Bird Set Free

Family Time Made jambalaya. Had my two daughters, and my daughter's fiancé, and my dad over to the apartment. They loved the food which made me feel happy. My food hasn't been turning out so good lately; that happens when I'm not feeling well. Happiness Spending time with my family made me feel very happy, and I like watching everyone interact. Detachment When I was younger, I would detach when I felt pain. So, this led to a long time on my own. And while that helped me, it also […]

A Beautiful Mind…Despite Brokenness

Daily writing promptWhat’s a moment that made you realize you were stronger than you thought?View all responses After giving birth to my second daughter, I developed post-partum thyroiditis (later changed to Grave's Disease). Due to economic and other reasons, I was unable to get care for that condition so I suffered for almost 2 years with it. At the time, I also had Bipolar 1 and PTSD, only I was unaware of my risk factors for psychosis due to being misdiagnosed with Borderline […]

My Poetry | Luciano, A Funeral Dirge

Morning Prayer (Lauds) Prayers This morning, I woke up at 0400 and wasted a little time. Then, I decided to open the Universalis app and read morning prayers. As I read through the hymns, psalms, and canticles, some dormant part of me began to reawaken. Poetry A long time ago, I had a very popular poetry blog and kept in touch with poetry bloggers from all over the world. And then I stopped. There are many reasons for this, which I won't write about here, but I think it is because I […]

Afternoon Thoughts | Lay Your Hands on Me

Afternoon Thoughts Got some stuff done. Not enough. I was a little disorganised today. Going to mass and then I'm going to do a short evening workout with my daughter. I'm going to try to stay up until 8 or 9 tonight since I've been going to bed too early. Tomorrow Morning When I wake up early in the morning, before I make jambalaya and have everyone over, I'm going to work on my book. I'm so behind where I want to be. I shouldn't waste quiet hours in the morning scrolling the news. I […]

Status Update | 2026 Goals | 8 Dimensions of Wellness

Intro The content below is actually on its own page at the top of this blog, but I thought I'd repost it today, along with a few thoughts. Goals I haven't lost any weight since April 23 as I sort of took a detour on the diet. But, I am maintaining and should drop some weight by next week. I'm not dating. I like someone, but it is more of a distance affection for someone. I think I'm doing more activities that I enjoy with my family and I'm going to church more to be social. I need […]

Beautiful Morning

0300 Woke up at 0300 which was well before my 0400 alarm. I had night sweats and I felt gross and realised I would just be uncomfortable if I stayed in bed so I got up and started the day. YouTube Scrolled on YouTube. Tried to watch a dumb movie about a dysfunctional relationship. Decided it was too dumb for me and I needed some quiet. Universalis I opened my Laudate app to do some morning prayers, and it suggested another app by Universalis that has the Catholic Calendar. So, I […]

A Day in My Life…Thursday, May 14, 2026

Morning Walk Woke up at 0400. Wasted time but eventually took Gumbo out, fed him, fed the fish. Got a much-needed shower and took a 2.7 mile walk out to my favourite park with a pond. Communion Service Went to my first communion service, as a Catholic. It was nice. Enjoyed being there. Visited Dad Visited my dad in memory care. My dad is from the gulf coast so northern Colorado is a huge adjustment for him. I get it. I miss being near water too. That's why I walk to parks with water. […]

Healthy Choices| My Confirmation Saint

Healthy Choices I didn't exercise today, but I did a lot of household chores. I also made soy milk, bread, and some creole pinto beans with spinach and brown jasmine rice. Because AI says my posts need photos: Spirituality I had some temptations and inner trials, but I leaned on God a lot more than I usually do, and I think that helped. I'll likely go to mass in the morning, if I can get my laundry done in time. I've been sleeping in past my 4 am alarm. This morning, I read the stoic, […]
