Tonight was just us. No getting ready for something. No running to someplace. No expecting visitors. Just us. Hannah and I made mint brownies. Sam and Stephanie played puppy sale. Andy read the mail. We went for a bike ride. After dinner we lingered at the table. Talking, laughing, breathing in and breathing out. We… Continue reading Happy Family (Ruth’s SOLS)

I Don’t Wanna Blog Tonight (Ruth’s SOLS)
I'm tired. Don't want to open my computer. So sore. Itching to write some fiction instead. I blog anyway. Because I know writers write when they don't feel like it. I know writers write every day. I know writers have tenacity. I want to be a writer.

I'm intentional about the "stuff" in my day. I think about saying yes and… Continue reading Not Enough (Ruth’s SOLS)

Kindergarten Roundup (Ruth’s SOLS)
Tonight I took the little guy to kindergarten roundup. Unfortunately we spent most of our time in long lines. The thing is, I couldn't help but stand beside him in awe. He practiced patient waiting. He read a book. He drew a picture. He talked to the people around us. He smiled and smiled and… Continue reading Kindergarten Roundup (Ruth’s SOLS)

Some of you may know I've challenged myself to an additional goal for SOLSC -- to collect a photo for each slice. The photo is from years ago,… Continue reading Home (Ruth’s SOLS)

Cyd Moore shared this quote, which is on her office door. It speaks to me. Art is, after all, only a trace -- like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness. --- Robert Henri
