I just want to put it out there at the start. Mother's Day should be happy and thankful and well-wishing to your Mom. And part of this Mother's Day is like that. But part of it really isn't.
Right now, I want to thank my Mom for being the wonderful woman that she is, for all the lessons in life that she has taught me, and how I wouldn't be the same person I am today without her in Tracy Chastainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712884791033318704noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3983497852440659655.post-15482946849248688902010-04-21T19:27:00.000-04:002010-04-21T19:27:33.446-04:0072 days......till Paradise.

Anyone home?In case you haven't noticed, I haven't been here in a while. Oh, I know what you are thinking... yet another "blogger" who starts a blog, then quits after writing a few posts.
I do admit, that did happen to me. Really, I do have good reasons. And I always intended to come back - life just got in the way. Without going into all the reasons, suffice it to say that the end of last year is not oneTracy Chastainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712884791033318704noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3983497852440659655.post-25521527601024108922009-10-16T07:23:00.001-04:002009-10-17T10:29:01.875-04:00The Wonderful GiftThe other day, I decided to visit the Observation Deck at the airport while I waited for Kim's flight to land. I could see the huge 777 waiting to make its way to the runway. I pondered if her plane would land before the 777 took off. The 777 won. But as I watched this massively huge plane taxi down the runway picking up speed, then carefully begin to glide through the air, I realized, at that Tracy Chastainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712884791033318704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3983497852440659655.post-88672474684895714672009-10-13T08:00:00.000-04:002009-10-13T18:24:51.531-04:00True BeautyEver since I was a little girl sitting at the "kids table" at big family meals, I always cherished the moment when dinner was over and the good conversations were getting underway. In our family after a meal, the kids could go play but I always preferred to find a chair at the "big table" to be a part of the conversation.
Sometimes the conversation was about something in the news or an event Tracy Chastainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712884791033318704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3983497852440659655.post-37352456917228635832009-10-11T21:57:00.000-04:002009-10-11T21:57:27.505-04:00MemoriesSome people keep journals, one spot that records all their thoughts and feelings. I randomly keep notebooks. I like all different kinds of notebooks and my notebook choice changes, frequently. Kim prefers one type of notebook - a little orange Rhodia with grid-lined sheets. I can't just keep one and use it until it is out of sheets. Right now, I have about four different notebooks Tracy Chastainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712884791033318704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3983497852440659655.post-87104683816768787252009-10-10T00:00:00.001-04:002009-10-10T00:02:13.577-04:00New and Good? what?You know those times when a comment or a moment just sticks with you and resonates through your soul? A thought churns, you ponder it, you make it your own? Sometimes it bugs you, like that annoying song playing in your head. Sometimes, it is the self-talk that takes you high places or sends you down spirals. The other night, the moment, that comment, was good.
