tuesday truth

June 10, 2025 Arlene Giddings

the truth is
elusive….
sneaky,
loitering around when
i am not ready to hear it…
hanging around the outside of my brain
crunching on chips and
drinking a dr pepper
and then when i think i am ready
to listen,
it wanders off pretending
it saw a kitten over there
or a 10.00 bill that just blew down the road
and let’s go look for it
and see if we can also find your sanity
while we are
at it.

and then i forget what i came here to write.

a little bit of a nonsensical tuesday truth....just because...

June 18, 2024 Arlene Giddings

the truth is
i am feeling
calm and quiet
and just a little bit
creative
and kind of on top of things
to some slight
variation of a degree.

less headaches,
health scare happily averted,
sunshine,
smurf pjs,
tea in a polka dot mug,
salads…so many salads…
(and with real strawberries today!)
lemon garlic dressings,
still off the diet coke,
more music,
less tv,
making plans,
researching castle building,
playing with oil pastels,
getting out for walks,
a new polka dot dress.

making lists of
lyrics
that currently
make me cry…
make me smile…
make me wish
i had wrote them first.

the truth is
tuesdays
make me wordy.

tuesday truths...the one where i babble

April 20, 2021 Arlene Giddings

the truth is
i have been slipping.

i started january
with big plans
and lists and goals
and i did really well…
and then, i slipped a little.

but now i am getting back
on track…
the days are longer,
the snow is melting,
i am honing my lists
and sharpening my highighters
(ok, well, not really
cause…that’s kinda bad for them)

this means
i am going to try to get back
to the page again…
and out with the camera
and back to the little blue desk
and…
ummmmmm….
so….i might even
be shooting a wedding again!!!
:)

for a sweet girl who has been a
friend of the family
forever…
i couldn’t say no.
but i do feel rusty and nervous…
it’s been a long time.

but if you don’t push yourself,
you stay stuck…
and i don’t like to be stuck.

i feel alive and energetic
and excited…it’s a
good way to feel.
♥♥♥

tuesday truths....

February 23, 2021 Arlene Giddings

the truth is
i find february hard…
long and slow and tedious.

i try to fill my days
and nights with books
and movies and music…
things that will inspire me,
filling the well if you read artist way…

i try to accept that
this
is the perfect time
to hibernate,
rejuvenate,
restore, renew, rest…
but i start to get
itchy feet…
i want to get out and about again.

i have to remind myself
that this will pass.
that the days will get longer.
and warmer.

and that i should take a cue
from finnegan
and just catnap
while i can…
and wherever i want. :)

tuesday truths...(the one where i use big words...)

September 1, 2020 Arlene Giddings

there is
something
about online learning
or learning
new things
in general
that just makes me
so excited…
like…
weirdly so.

words like
stochastic components,
parameters,
velocity,
resistance,
randomness,
parity…..

quantitative,
synapses,
axon, neuron,
dendrites…
tessellation….

just give me
this strange little
adrenaline rush

like sugar
for my
brain.
