one of those moments…

written by Jana May 4, 2009

joy!, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

Life has had its share of stresses and frustrations lately, so much so that for about the past three months I’ve had to put effort into finding space to “get away from it all for awhile.” Though I love the work I do as a PhD student, it has a way of filling up my mind and my life in ways that make it difficult to ever feel like I have time off.

So Saturday was one of those moments when John and I were able to escape for a bit of a date night (time for just the two of us–yay!) and chose to watch a friend’s Roller Derby team match. It’s a pretty unlikely event for me to attend, so the novelty made it even more fun, I’d say.

I really loved this picture of me with Alicia (wearing her cute roller derby uniform)–it’s so spontaneous and happy.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
