Life of Linda: November 2005
http://decaturlinda.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 25, 2005. Thanksgiving is a holiday of just plain joy and thanksgiving, with no overlays of guilt or shoulds like the other holidays. This year was different from other Thanksgivings in a lot of ways. Our all-time best one was in '99 when we celebrated not only turkey day with family but bringing home a son from the hospital after almost 4 weeks in ICU, now finally on the mend. We did everything "right" but still things felt off balance. Some of life's learning you have to learn over and...

Life of Linda: January 2008
http://decaturlinda.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 24, 2008. I was wrong about the empty nest thing. Over a year ago, on my last post, I was wistfully looking towards a time when we'd have an empty nest. Turns out that it's not empty after all. We have a really nice old bird living with us. He's teaching us all a bit about being gracious with unexpected life changes, and he's fun.

Life of Linda: December 2005
http://decaturlinda.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 26, 2005. The first boy is a preacher, the second is a poet and the third is a screenwriter (in the making). Words seem to count a lot in our house. Boy two came home this week after being on another continent for months and months. We weren't worried about him, really. Ok, we were worried. He gets lost on I-285 here so would he be ok speaking in a second languge, and learning a third while living in a very different culture? Posted by Life of Linda at 6:52 PM. Links to this post. Fall m...

Life of Linda: March 2008
http://decaturlinda.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 09, 2008. I don't want to be a vegetarian. I seem to be the recipient of a cosmic message. All last fall I studied Pema Chodron books with my book club, and at odd times now, her voice, which I played constantly on Ipod, comes thru. It's been, shall we say, a stressful year, and I find a good deal of comfort in her wisdom. May I be free of suffering, and the root of all suffering.". For Christmas, we got a book called. May I be free of suffering, and the root of all suffering.". And then th...

Life of Linda: July 2006
http://decaturlinda.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 20, 2006. We are so on the cusp of a different life. We've been married 33 years but it's been 27 since we had an extended time of just the two of us. We enjoy each other's company (for the most part! So we're still too busy with our family, and content to be too busy, knowing that next year we'll be busy with rediscovering each other, if we are granted the luxury of time together.

Thursday, March 09, 2006. Ever since my kids were little we'd go out walking to find "signs of spring." A daffodil up, or tree which seems red on the edges where the new leaves are forming. Was it bird flu? What was going on? Eventually it became clear - they were ratcheting up to catch a good air stream. When they did they went right into formation and headed on their way.
