Happy Halloween!!!

It’s October 31st, All Hallows Eve. Halloween. That’s Jake the Jack-o-Lantern over there. He’s a good jack-o-lantern and graciously allowed us to carve him, scoop his innards out, and toast his seeds all without cutting or burning ourselves.Pretty good, I’d say. And, with cinnamon sprinkled inside and the candle blazing, he makes the house smell [...]

Phoenix

"I isolated myself from people and things that might tear me down."
 
These words were spoken by a teenage girl in San Diego when asked how she made it.  She was featured on a national morning news program today.  This young woman made my heart swell.  She made my brain stretch.  She made my faith and belief [...]

“Psst. Mama. Mama. MOM!”“Yes, Duck, what is it?”

Blue Skies

I woke up this morning singing Blue Skies. I gotta say, that’s a pretty wonderful way to start the day. I feel light as a feather, optimistic about the future, loving life.
Sometimes being true to yourself can hurt other people. That really sucks. No doubt about it. I don’t enjoy hurting folks, I don’t get [...]

A random assortment of thoughts

This weekend was rather, um, shall we say, thought provoking. Not the kind of thought provoking that usually ends in some deep revelation about life or anything, but thought provoking in the sense that I spent a lot of time thinking about how that sucked, this rocked, and wondering why in the hell some [...]

Weather School is Cool

Today we had Weather School with our homeschooling group.  One of the local news stations offers this program to schools and educational groups free of charge.  It’s pretty cool.  I nearly had given up, however, because the guy was 30 minutes late.  Lovely.
 
When he did show up, things got a little nutty.  There were [...]

Jo Jo goes to work

This is a new hat that I have made for a special project. I have written about Jo Jo on the Kohleidoscope blog. It’s good to finally put her to work. It’s hard to tell, but the hat has a rolled brim. 

Windows have no limits

Did you see it?  Did you notice?  Probably not and that’s cool.  But it’s there.  Take a second and see what is different.
 
Give up?
I changed the name of the blog.  No longer Corners of My Mind, it’s now Windows of My Mind.  I got to thinking - corners are VERY constricting, limiting, ending.  Once you’re [...]
