5 Years

April 29, 2014

59

Today marks the five year anniversary of my very first post on BecomingJennie. It’s hard to believe that five years have passed. It seems it’s just as difficult to know where to end as it was to know how to begin. I suppose, like anything, I simply should start at the beginning.   April 6th, […]

Winding Down

December 28, 2012

112

As we move forward in life and these years wind down, I find myself – perhaps typically – nostalgic and pensive about the present, past and future. The past year has been a roller coaster of life.

Dog Shit in the Kitchen

October 16, 2012

48

Sometimes I am selfish and go to sleep without letting Saucy out for a final pee or poo. Last night’s selfishness manifest itself into a giant dog shit in the kitchen, which inevitably leads back to me, to my failure to let her out and my selfishness in choosing to go to bed over choosing […]

So many times in life, I’ve wished I could go back and change something I said or did. I tell myself, like any good, trying to move forward type person, that “I will neither regret nor wish to change the past,” but truth be told, everyone has a day or eight they’d love to go […]

My Duncan, how far we’ve come

December 5, 2009

Yesterday, as the Beatles said, all my troubles seemed so far away. But it doesn’t feel as though they are here to stay, partially because I believe in yesterday. It was a big day, a day where I couldn’t seem to stop crying. But not the sad sad sad crying, they were tears of joy, […]
