:: pause ::: Keeping Resolutions
http://raeannewright.blogspot.com/2008/01/keeping-resolutions.html
Wednesday, January 9, 2008. Nine days into 2008 and I'm feeling that What-the-hell-was-I-thinking? Thud in the back of my head. Somewhere between making the list of uber-ambitious goals for the new year and taking baby steps to begin accomplishing them I forgot to ask myself what was actually feasible, whether or not I could handle such a hiccup in daily life, and how I would tackle a day like today when the cumulative effects of my baby steps start taking a physical toll.

Water Baby in Training. We have a pool in our backyard. When we first moved in, my mom (and I) were terrified that something terrible would happen with Mae at this pool. Ever since the incident. At my father-in-laws, I have been especially freaked out about watching her ever single moment we are near any large body of water. So my parents had a safety fence installed around our pool. It has given me peace of mind ever since it was put in. She goes twice a week for the next six weeks. There was actually h...

:: pause ::: Practicing Imperfection
http://raeannewright.blogspot.com/2008/09/practicing-imperfection.html
Monday, September 1, 2008. For as long as I can remember I've been a perfectionist. My father always reiterated to me that "if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right," words that still echo in my day-to-day life. Perhaps it was my tendency towards compulsive order and obsessive organization, but for some reason I interpreted those words as, "if something's worth doing, it's worth doing the best. I tend to want to control even the little stupid things that don't matter. Has life figured out.

Sunday, November 30, 2008. Send My Grandma to Italy. Always the coolest, Gram (second from left) parties with the girls at my sister's Bachelorette party in the spring of 2008. Two months ago, only weeks before my little sister's wedding, my family received some devastating news: my grandma, only 72 years old, had stage 4 cancer of the lung, liver, lymph nodes, and spleen. It was a slow, dreadful diagnosis with each new test revealing worse news. The prescription? I wouldn't let it go, and immediately st...

Sunday, October 5, 2008. Where did September go? September whirled by like a tumbleweed in a tornado. I was so busy-busy that I almost didn't notice autumn sneaking up on me. But now fall has finally descended upon the Northeast - the days are crisp and cool, the air smells damp and fresh, and the leaves are slowly making their colorful transition, scattering themselves across the earth, and painting my daily pathways. It's one of those events that you wait for your whole life. Natalie is my only sib...

:: pause ::: 10,000 Days (and counting)
http://raeannewright.blogspot.com/2009/01/10000-days-and-counting.html
Sunday, January 4, 2009. 10,000 Days (and counting). Last week I was doing research on a project for work when I stumbled upon a website (though not a design specimen by any means) that calculates your " Decimal Birthday. Something about that number hit me - that's a lot of days. Often, I still think of myself as young. And being 27 years old, I suppose in the grand scheme of things I absolutely am. How have I spent all of those days? Have I really lived and enjoyed each one? Bloated, tired, and still fe...

Thursday, March 26, 2009. Some weight off my shoulders. I've decided to take a pause from : pause: — permanently. My apologies to anyone that may actually be reading my blog. your attention is appreciated, and you are a rare gem in this world. Frankly, I have been too busy enjoying life to stop and write about it, and after 2 months of feeling a nag in the back of my head reminding me that I hadn't blogged in awhile, it occurred to me that, I really don't have. If I don't want to. About The Brave and the...
