Working Title: October 2016

Highlights of my "everydays" in precisely 500 words.(neurotic, anyone? Monday, October 31, 2016. On Your Mark, Get Set. In November 2006, I decided to take a major writing challenge. November is National Novel Writing Month, and at that point I thought writing a novel in 30 days would be a snap. After all, I wasn’t sleeping more than a few hours a night, and my brain was basically revved up all the time anyway. So I began on November 1. Just slows you down! And so, Stoppage. The novel in question. I made...

Highlights of my "everydays" in precisely 500 words.(neurotic, anyone? Sunday, September 25, 2016. Joy in the Morning. Mom, Mo and Me. What would Jesus do? Should be much more than an empty catchphrase. Because, deep down, we know what Jesus would do, don't we? Jesus would heal the sick and lonely. Jesus would offer refuge to the homeless. Jesus would forgive, unconditionally. Jesus, in every single instance, would show love and compassion. So maybe the question becomes: WSWD? What should WE do? I'm plan...

Highlights of my "everydays" in precisely 500 words.(neurotic, anyone? Monday, April 4, 2016. Letter from the Editor (and Grant Writer, and Publicist, and.). What is true with all of these projects is my lack of knowledge base in the subject matter. Evan’s piece was replete with words and concepts totally alien to me. Steve is writing about characters from Martin Luther’s life with whom I have only a passing acquaintance. Rich Melheim’s Let’s Kill Sunday School. So send me your scribblings! Always up for...

Highlights of my "everydays" in precisely 500 words.(neurotic, anyone? Thursday, December 29, 2016. My friend Mike, like myself, turned 60 this year (it’s only been days for me, and I’m still processing the farewell to my fabulous fifties). Mike wrote letters to 60 people who had influenced his life (yup, 60 letters! I was very touched to receive one of those letters (I taught his daughters in Confirmation class, and they went on quite a few mission trips with me). My first grade best friend! Writing (al...

Good luck, Sher, Rose and Julie! I would love you no matter what you did for a living, but I am especially proud of the thoughtful choices you are making.

Highlights of my "everydays" in precisely 500 words.(neurotic, anyone? Saturday, March 26, 2016. Can You Keep a Secret? But I realize not everyone is like this. Some people don’t share as much of their own lives as I do. Some people don’t feel the need to announce their ALL their insecurities, stupid mistakes, mental health issues, etc. the way I do. Some people can sit on glad tidings for days! Some people are just much more private than I am. Take my father, for example. Dad told his family. Over time,...

Highlights of my "everydays" in precisely 500 words.(neurotic, anyone? Thursday, August 18, 2016. I had forgotten how noisy 15 people in one room can be. It’s been quite a while since we needed to use every available dining room chair, plus bar stools and sofas, to seat a hungry crowd for dinner. And I was reminded, last week, just how much I’ve missed the happy chaos of musicians and piano, flute, violins and cellos. Celtic to Classical Concert #1. Meanwhile, if I listen closely, I can hear echoes of Ba...

Highlights of my "everydays" in precisely 500 words.(neurotic, anyone? Friday, May 27, 2016. A Day in the Life of Aiden Seyfried. May 27, 2014 I am born! 5:30 AM Wake up time! I'm grouchy as all get out but I need to MOVE! C'mon, poor pregnant Mom, up and at 'em! 6:00 AM We're off to the races! Typical morning routine: I express a desire for breakfast. Nana whips up a bowl of "tasty" yogurt and blueberries. Two bites and I am ready to get DOWN from Nana's lap and UP on Pa's lap for. Today I love them!
