I am a woman. I am thankful I am a woman. And for the most part I don’t think of ever wanting to be something different. There are of course times during a woman’s life when it’s not so much fun and we might momentarily think, “Oh, to be a man!” But for me and … More No Blood On The Knife
Verbosity by definition is speech or writing deemed to use an excess of words.(a) While succintness is using a minimum of words and eliminating redundant words or phrases. Laconic is defined by Merriam Webster as being concise to the point of being rude or mysterious. I think writing and speaking styles are highly individual. I don’t … More Say It Again Sam
I have been struggling to write this past week as my emotions have swirled around and inside of me. I feel full and overflowing with some unnameable emotion. The closest I can come to describing it is gratitude, mixed with contentment, but gratitude overall. So much of my life hasn’t been spent being grateful that … More Gratitude
Today I’m going to try something different. I’m going to try writing using one of the writing prompts given by our Blogging 101 course. The one they’ve selected for today is You’re a winner. You’ve won the lottery. What will you do with it. This reminds me of creative writing back in elementary school. Our … More I’m a Winner
The Merry-Go-Round of Life, that is. When I was a child, I was always striving to be older. To get to that next birthday, to get those extra privileges that came with age, to be more important. Because I had 3 older siblings, it seemed like that was where the fun was, in being older. … More I’m Dragging My Feet but the Merry-Go-Round Won’t Stop.
“A long, long time ago and I can still remember” is how one of my favorite songs starts out. American Pie by Don McLean. I love that song and hearing it can instantly transport me back to the ’70’s when I was growing up. Hippies, “Make love not war”, flower power, and “Peace Man.” I, … More I Used To Know Things
Profanity. It’s still getting me in trouble. When I was growing up, way back in the 60’s and 70’s it was not considered appropriate to swear, cuss, curse, or however you want to say it. My parents did not swear and were of the opinion we shouldn’t either. If we forgot, we were quickly reminded … More Profanity and Passwords
Recently as I was shopping for groceries, I came across a sight that caused me to stop and look twice. It was a mother shopping with her 6 children. The reason I looked more than once was because I don’t often see that. Usually you’ll see 1 or 2, maybe 3 kids with their parent in … More Shopping with Children
We had dinner last week with some elderly family members. It was an interesting time. The air was stifling. The AC had been turned off as it was a cooler day outside, but there were no windows open letting any air in and it was like being packed into a box and stuck in the … More An Evening Out
On Hair – I’m beginning to think that giving us hair was a joke God played on us. How much time do we spend washing, drying, styling, and worrying over our hair. We color, highlight, (for the male readers this is entirely 2 different things), cut, grow, pull up or back, and look for new … More Quick Observations and Momentary Musings
