137. Be the Hero

March 12, 2021March 13, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ 1 Comment

Friday March 13 2021 There was once a young girl who dreamed of independence away from the hardships of her childhood. She wanted to shed herself of the years of limitations of what others otherwise enjoyed as part of their ordinary lives. There were basic needs she desired, such as winters where you could awake … Continue reading 137. Be the Hero

122. Oh, hello. I’ve been expecting you

December 26, 2020January 2, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ 1 Comment

Saturday December 26 2020 Marks the spot. This appeared over my house. #truestory No more waiting to be marked. My spiral has closed. Since March I've avoided large gatherings, worn a face mask in public, washed my hands and used copious amounts of hand sanitizer, along with my new prescription of eczema meds because I … Continue reading 122. Oh, hello. I’ve been expecting you

104. Another Isolation

October 31, 2020November 26, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Saturday October 31 2020 We don’t get trick or treaters at our homestead. My educated guess is because we don’t have a sidewalk and it’s rather sketchy to cross our busy road that separates the like of us from the suburban plat dwellers. It would slow down the youngsters and reduce their potential candy yield. … Continue reading 104. Another Isolation

87. Corralling wild polio

September 6, 2020October 8, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Sunday September 6 2020 My husband’s Aunt Jean was one of the last of the Greatest Generation of our family when she passed in 2016. She was a remarkably intelligent woman, with a sharp sarcastic wit that kept you at constant attention. Jean was not a woman to be dismissed. She was a force, a … Continue reading 87.

85. Footnotes of History

September 1, 2020October 6, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Tuesday September 1 2020 You know, I write this journal all the time. In my head. Every time an interesting factoid or experience crosses my path, I make not only a mental note, but pretty much put together a couple of ethereal paragraphs.   There are two lies I tell myself. That’s a huge muffin. … Continue reading 85. Footnotes of History

80. Deeper Dive

August 15, 2020October 3, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Saturday August 15 2020 I wanted to take a deeper dive into Governor DeWine’s message of declining cases of COVID-19 today, so I hit the coronavirus.ohio.gov portal to review the data charts available. While I like that little dip at the end of the line charts, the looking at the numbers might provide more context. … Continue reading 80. Deeper Dive

77. Mother’s Day Rain Date

August 8, 2020October 3, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Saturday August 8 2020 This afternoon I was finally able to visit my mom. She called and needed help with a few things, so we made the drive out to Preble County. It’s been months and I can’t even tell you how many. Now I need to see my own kid.

55. Dreaming of waking

July 10, 2020August 30, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Friday July 10 2020 Ever get stuck in a dream state? When you know you’re dreaming, and can actually direct some of the things happening, yet you cannot wake yourself? Usually this is terrifying to me and while in this dream state, I’m shouting to the greater world to Wake me up! Wake me up! … Continue reading 55. Dreaming of waking

54. Disconnected

July 9, 2020August 30, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Thursday July 9 2020 Relationship status: It’s complicated But Gretchen and I scored by getting our names in the obit, so I guess I’m grateful for that. We fared better than the other three step-siblings who are not mentioned at all. Nobody notified us that the our bio-dad's obit was published. We found out about … Continue reading 54. Disconnected

47. Another hazy day

June 26, 2020August 29, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Friday June 26 2020 I was able to sleep better last night, but still have a low grade headache, the kind that you stop noticing after awhile and then wonder why you feel so grouchy. Goat Rock Beach, California. I captured this image during a trip in 2013. Wednesday night I just couldn’t shut down … Continue reading 47. Another hazy day
