• Tough choice

    What’s your all-time favorite album?

    I think that there’s plenty of music that’s good. However, my all time favorite album is tough.

    “Achtung Baby” by U2 not the remixed stuff on Spotify but the original album.

    “Yummy” by James, it’s a relatively new album but the writing is excellent as is the music.

    “Rush of blood to the head” Coldplay. It came out 20 years ago but is dark & moody. Really good.

    “Closer to Fine” Indigo Girls. Came out in the 1990’s & is one of my favorite albums of all time.

    I think this is a good mix of what I like to listen to. Who can you listen to over & over again?

  • True friends stay

    Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

    I wish I had learned this earlier than 2 years ago. When someone I had counted on was nowhere to be found.

    I have had to learn that when people push you out of their lives it has more to do with them than with you. I was going through some pretty nightmarish crap & this person just turned & walked away. The person I thought would leave actually stayed & we’ve grown close & the person I thought I was close to chose to leave.

    A true friend will pull up a chair & support you no matter what. Whereas someone who begins to push you away no longer cares & neither should you.

    Your mental well being comes first & if they try to make you feel unsafe or mock your experience they’re not your friend. I had to learn this the hard way but I’m grateful for the people that have stuck by my side no matter what. They’re the ones that matter not the people that walked out of your life. Period.

  • Eating a big bowl of Phō

    What are you doing this evening?

    Tonight, after my husband comes back from work we’re having a big bowl of Vietnamese soup.

    Then we’ll catch up after our day & I’ll watch my favorite show at the moment.

    My sweet husband will go down & play his guitar for a little decompression after the work day.

    He’ll come up around bedtime & take the dog out & we’ll go to bed.
