Who am I? Don't Know!: A Tiger, a Vine, a Mouse and a Strawberry
http://tracileadstrom.blogspot.com/2012/03/tiger-vine-some-mice-and-strawberry.html
A simple blog about a complicated life. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. A Tiger, a Vine, a Mouse and a Strawberry. Here is one of my favorite zen stories. One day while walking through the wilderness a man stumbled upon a vicious tiger. He ran but soon came to the edge of a high cliff. Desperate to save himself, he climbed down a vine and dangled over the fatal precipice. As he hung there, two mice appeared from a hole in the cliff and began gnawing on the vine.

Who am I? Don't Know!: Growing Pains by Ryan Hellmer
http://tracileadstrom.blogspot.com/2012/04/growing-pains-by-ryan-hellmer.html
A simple blog about a complicated life. Friday, April 6, 2012. Growing Pains by Ryan Hellmer. That first week of running, the muscles in my legs and even my shoulders can just ache. This pain accompanies growth. It is the breaking down and repairing of the fibers because I simply haven’t used them in far too long. I know that this is the pain that I can remedy with stretching and a decent warm-up and that I can push through it to help my body get back in shape. I’m certainly no expert on grieving o...

Who am I? Don't Know!: In the fright of Twilight
http://tracileadstrom.blogspot.com/2014/10/in-fright-of-twilight.html
A simple blog about a complicated life. Wednesday, October 1, 2014. In the fright of Twilight. In the fright of twilight the sun always appears". I don't know who wrote this nor do I remember when I heard it but I remembered it this morning. At about the same time this evening twilight will come again, then sunset. The sky will slowly and beautifully turn dark and the blackness will return. This is for certain. And, so will my grief. And, tomorrow, the sun will break through twilight. Leah and Ava Austin.

Who am I? Don't Know!: October 2011
http://tracileadstrom.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
A simple blog about a complicated life. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. You are going to do what? Sitting in meditation from 6am - 9pm, two days in a row seems a little daunting don't you think? That's what I thought when this idea was first brought to me but not any more. So what makes me look forward to sitting on my cushion for 15 hours a day, only eat for health and only get up to walk in meditation? Choices, that's what! I know what your thinking, that all these rules are crazy, too strict, right?

Who am I? Don't Know!: The Day After Tomorrow
http://tracileadstrom.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-day-after-tomorrow.html
A simple blog about a complicated life. Monday, October 7, 2013. The Day After Tomorrow. Its been 9 years since we welcomed our sweet little Landon to our family. Sometimes it feels like yesterday. Sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago. This should be a time of celebration but we were not lucky enough to get that. Today is the day after. I'm exhausted. I'm angry. I'm loved. I spent the morning with my sisterfriend then took my Kayrs to have lunch with Nathan and the girls at school. ...Subscribe to: Pos...

Who am I? Don't Know!: April 2013
http://tracileadstrom.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
A simple blog about a complicated life. Thursday, April 18, 2013. The Stolen Easter Eggs. This isn't the first time this has happened, but this year it has bothered me more than before. I can't imagine what is going through someones mind when they take something off a gravestone. The only thing I can come up with is that they just don't know what a special place that is. If I were to run into this person I would want to scream at them and say. Do you have any idea what I went through when I lost my baby?

A simple blog about a complicated life. Friday, May 17, 2013. Exhausted mom meets grieving mom. Have you ever read something and thought "I couldn't have said that better myself"? Me too, just now actually. And since I can't say it better myself I'll just leave you with this. Being a mom is exhausting some days, being a grieving mom is exhausting every day. When the season has ended, the kids have grown, and there are gray hairs and fine lines, (" Beauty Marks. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Things are a ch...
