Parenting Frustrations  

Clothes,
Simply…
Just clothes
Arguments burst forth
And I cant….

Children fighting
Like this thing
Defends innocent
Lives

No willingness to
Give, to attempt
Anything outside
The preconceived

“I won’t find
ANYTHING” in this
Place I’ve not yet
Seen.

Frustrated at my
Failure…
No understanding or
Trusting in my
Experience

All I’ve done
All I am;
Worthless

I am tired

Flowers at the Market 

I love these markets
Flowers have a special place
Portable beauty

The sun sits high 

Evening has arrived
Sunlight forcing itself down
Trees in their glory  

Dropbox Supports Multiple Editors In The Same Document

This won’t be news for many of you, and I’ve known about it for some time. However, I received a question about this so I thought it was time to dive in a bit deeper.

Multiple users can edit Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, etc. They both need to access the document through the Dropbox website, though. And they’ll be editing via the Microsoft Office online tool. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to link Dropbox and Office Online.
To re-link a Dropbox account to an Office Mobile app:
  1. Open the Office Mobile app.
  2. Tap the folder icon.
  3. Tap Add a place.
  4. Tap Dropbox.
  5. Tap Allow next to the Dropbox account listed (if you’re already signed in to the Dropbox app). Or, to link a new Dropbox account, tap Use a different account.

Thinking About Downtown Everett

Everett Logo

Yesterday I spent a little time walking right along Colby. I was struck by the large number of vacant store front spaces. Which surprises me, since retail space in the region is in high-demand. I guess we can see the upper bound of that.

Perhaps Everett is considered too far from Seattle. I find that interesting as it’s only 35 miles, 44 miles to Seatac airport.

There’s a great arts community up here, with the Everett Philharmonic, the Village Theatre and the Schack Arts Center, just to name a few.

Plenty of businesses occupy the larger buildings, banks, escrow companies, the offices for Snohomish County, and, of course, the City of Everett’s offices.

The city has an amazing amount of potential. I hope that the business community realizes it and helps Everett grow…and grow the right way.

Maybe that can Everett’s call to glory: smart and compassionate growth! Just a thought.

Dawn’s Handiwork

A good thought for the day

Discovered this over at Pinterest. I found it quite apropos with the current climate of society.

May we all embrace a little class, calmness and dignity.

 

Bicycles In The Rain

I spent many a day
Cycling in the rain
Seattle is my home,
After all

I must admit though
That the rain’s allure
Has waned
With these achy joints
