La Bona Dea's Journal of Everyday Magic

The rains are here after a long dry spell! Winter is on the way with cold mornings and some days I wake to frost on the car, burr! The days are surly shorter and the nights are long. I find myself looking for my pj’s about 7:30 at night. Ready for a long winter’s nap! […]

Sometimes, like this past year, I can get really cynical. The “why me” syndrome manifests its way into my psyche when I am deeply hurt. My first reaction, being who I am, is total withdrawal. I escape however I can. Then bitterness tries to creep into my heart because I was too mad to address […]
