A Day to Remember

Memorial Day was yesterday.  It is a day of remembering those who have died while in military service to our country, the United States of America.  Many people use this time which is for most people a 3 day weekend, for camping, traveling, or family get together.  While growing up, my family didn’t really celebrate … More A Day to Remember

Overwhelmed

This past week I have been struggling with lots of health related issues.  I have also been requested to do a temp job for 6 weeks, and trying to keep up on things around here.  I feel like I’m failing on every level.  I have been feeling overwhelmed.  I wonder how I get to this … More Overwhelmed

Too Many Words?

My husband is a very wise man and saw the dangers and foolishness of social media a long time ago. He has resisted becoming enmeshed in it and I see the value of that. A simpler life. A more content soul. A more productive way of living. … More Too Many Words?

(Be kind, Math is not my friend.) Less than 1 % of the year. For something that takes such a small amount of … More Christmas

I’m Back

It’s been almost a month since I’ve written anything for my blog.  I’ve deeply missed the writing.  I don’t know if any readers have necessarily missed me, but that is not something I’m worried about. Although it’s really nice to have people read you, comment on your writing, resonate with your thoughts, and miss you, … More I’m Back

I Hate Meeces

I am a hater.  I hate mice.  Or as the cat Jinx used to say on the cartoon, “I hate meeces to pieces!” I have an unreasonable fear of mice, attributing them with super hero cunning and ability.  Although I don’t believe they can fly, I do imagine they’re quite good jumpers and climbers and can … More I Hate Meeces
