GIVING NOTICE NOW: May 2015

http://givingnoticenow.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

The observations and writings of Jennifer Campaniolo. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Why 'While We're Young' Annoyed Me. Mike and I went on a Tuesday date night this week. He's recently completed his masters degree and is trying to reconcile himself with the fact that he now has something called "free time." It hasn't quite hit him yet, and he has to fight the impulse to worry about homework that he no longer has to do. We had pizza and beer at Otto and then went to see the Noah Baumbach movie While We're Young.

GIVING NOTICE NOW: The kernel of sadness in every happy moment

http://givingnoticenow.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-kernel-of-sadness-in-every-happy.html

The observations and writings of Jennifer Campaniolo. Sunday, May 10, 2015. The kernel of sadness in every happy moment. In The Trauma of Everyday Life. Mark Epstein, MD, writes,. I read this passage over a few times. It perfectly encapsulates how I feel most of the time. Even in good moments, peaceful moments, those oh-so-rare optimal moments, there is the fear of loss and what will happen when the good feeling passes- because it always does. In happiness there is also fear and dread. How will I cope?

GIVING NOTICE NOW: Kiss me again with your Barbasol face

http://givingnoticenow.blogspot.com/2013/09/kiss-me-again-with-your-barbasol-face.html

The observations and writings of Jennifer Campaniolo. Friday, September 13, 2013. Kiss me again with your Barbasol face. Number of toiletry products taking up space on our bathroom counter: 32. Number of toiletry items belonging to me: 12. Number of toiletry items belonging to my husband: 17 (with the remaining three being shared items like toothpaste). My husband has not taken up female impersonation nor has he fallen victim to this depressing trend. It's not like him to just dabble. I can't recall the ...

GIVING NOTICE NOW: July 2013

http://givingnoticenow.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

The observations and writings of Jennifer Campaniolo. Wednesday, July 17, 2013. Photo from Esquire.com. We're having a heat wave in the Boston area (it's affecting the entire eastern seaboard), and I am living the life of the anxious person in an anti-perspirant ad. Or even nonsensical stuff like what kind of mouth bling. Amanda Bynes wants to get before she launches her "rap career? This reminds me of one of my favorite online comic strips. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Happiness comes when we notice the ...

GIVING NOTICE NOW: February 2013

http://givingnoticenow.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

The observations and writings of Jennifer Campaniolo. Thursday, February 14, 2013. Me with my first Valentine, my dad. I like Valentine's Day. I don't care about the naysayers, the scoffers, the "let's-stick-it-to-Valentine's-Day-by-reading-our-essays-about-bad-breakups" people. Hey, not everyone gets to be feted on other made-up holidays, like Mother's Day or Secretary's Day, but I'm not complaining about that. Poster I was giving away from the latest issue of Dynamite! I kept that Valentine hidden away...

This image can be found here: https:/ www.flickr.com/photos/sis/98171915/. What do women want on Valentine's Day? We want to feel special, cherished, appreciated, loved, and for some of us, a little indulged even. Yes, we want a gift but not any old gift you picked up on your way home from work at 7PM on Valentine's Day night. We want the effort. For example, my husband Mike like...

GIVING NOTICE NOW: Coming back to the present moment

http://givingnoticenow.blogspot.com/2015/05/coming-back-to-present-moment.html

The observations and writings of Jennifer Campaniolo. Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Coming back to the present moment. I recently decided to give mindfulness another try. I am reading 1. 0% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works. There is a lot of positive talk about the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for depression and anxiety. This NPR podcast, "The Secret History of Thoughts". The idea of mindfulness-based...

GIVING NOTICE NOW: March 2013

http://givingnoticenow.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

The observations and writings of Jennifer Campaniolo. Monday, March 18, 2013. Carmelita sort of, kind of listening to me. I have a bad dog. I don't mean she's an aspiring Cujo. She's actually a very sweet pup. But she doesn't interact well with others, in particular the ones we'd most like her to be on her best behavior around- namely small children and other dogs. It's all our fault, really. As my husband likes to put it. Her usual approach when she feels threatened. Awkward.), well I can't say....Of co...

GIVING NOTICE NOW: Got Change?

http://givingnoticenow.blogspot.com/2008/12/got-change.html

The observations and writings of Jennifer Campaniolo. Friday, December 26, 2008. I like change when it means a better job, a different vacation destination, a new Ben and Jerry's flavor. Otherwise, change frightens me. It's a constant worry. I may have some things now (a good job, a loving husband, ten fingers to type this blog) but tomorrow something could be gone. I am hopeful that there will be other experiences in my life that will turn out to be equally good. December 31, 2008 at 7:50 AM. And thanks...
