Regrets Blossom
I do not feel the sting in my eyes
when I walk through meadows of what has been—
For those deeds which I have come to know
do not cloud my view.
When regret’s lovely blossom swells
among my memories—and proclaims
Moments and souls never to be loved by me,
It’s scent breathes sorrow sharp and true.
I wrote this after a discussion with my sweet...

Pardon My Dust
Okay. So. Here’s the deal.
I am not perfect. Whoa. I know! Big surprise there.
Not only am I not perfect, but I am also very rough around the edges…I almost cry out for a good sanding. Almost, that is. Somehow, I feel that being rough around the edges is what makes us human and attractive and individual.
But, my point is….I make huge grammatical errors, I spell...

Redemption
For those of you who know me, you will know that I have struggled with depression. It has been a very ugly battle…but it wasn’t always this way. It wasn’t until the birth of my fourth child that I experienced a full blown postpartum depression and it seemed to tilt the axis of my world just enough that I have been battling it ever since.
Last year was the worst of it,...

The Trenches
I work full time at Ogden Regional Medical Center. What do I do there, you ask? I am a Phlebotomist. For those of you who don’t know what that is, think of this: the person that comes at you with a pointy needle in their hand to draw your precious, precious blood. Yes, that is what I do.
My schedule is somewhat hairy. I work 70 hours in a 7 day time period. Fortunately those 7...

What Does It Mean?
I have had people ask why my blog is called “Peculiar & Co.”
Just by way of information, the surname “Wunderlich” is an old German word that means peculiar or wondrous. So, now you know.
But, just ask anyone who knows me. They’ll tell you how peculiar I am.

Dawn To Dusk
This was a portion of a letter written to one of my oldest and dearest friends at a time when he was experiencing heartache. A heartache greater than he has ever known…and I wasn’t quite sure how to help him. All I could do was share the thoughts that were floating in and out of my little mind.
When I went out for my little “jog” last night and you came with me. Your...

I Have Learned...
Being right isn’t always the most important thing.
You can’t be anyone but who you already are.
It’s okay to cry.
Family is everything.
Only I can be responsible for my own happiness.
Not all who wander are lost
The “AH-HAH!” moments come when you least expect them to.
You don’t always have to do what you are told.
Taxes suck.
It’s not all...
