Continue reading →: Mother’s Day gratitude
I’ve given it a couple days before writing about Sunday and Mother’s Day. It was AMAZING! And yes, I have no shame about shouting that to the world. Ten years of living in another state made Mother’s Day a challenge; driving almost five hours each way to see my girls…

Continue reading →: Starting over can be scary
I’m 54 and I’m starting again. I don’t think we have to be adults to start anew, by the way. For instance, I was 13 when I made my first major change in life. I accomplished this by leaving home in Fairbanks, Alaska and going to boarding school outside Spokane,…

Continue reading →: Religion – fear or faith?
I have two reasons for this post. To begin with, I have a seven-year-old granddaughter who asks the most random questions. I’m getting accustomed to being blindsided. For instance, I walked into the kitchen at 10 pm the other night and immediately that I appeared, my granddaughter asked me “Grams,…

Continue reading →: Ahhhh … Spring Break
Spring break doesn’t look the same in my fifties. I’m going to Costco tomorrow, followed by a trip to Target, and then my favorite bookstore. All that in one day – in the middle of the week. I’m a party animal. Really, though, let’s be honest. How I spend Spring…

Continue reading →: The coffee’s gotta go
I’m sad. When my husband and I moved to Oregon 11 years ago, I was in the habit of drinking coffee several times a day. More than that, I would drink half a dozen, sometimes more, cans of Pepsi a day. Naturally, the outcome of the Pepsi habit was that…

I want to begin by saying I feel good today. Not just physically, although I do feel pretty decent in that respect. But emotionally and mentally, I feel good today. Some days that wins out over my physical wellbeing. It’s been a very long time since I’ve felt good both…

Continue reading →: Finally
I am beginning to feel human again, thank goodness. The tightness in my chest has eased considerably, I am blowing my nose just a couple times a day, and the coughing is mostly for an hour or so in the morning. And I can walk into the kitchen and back…

Continue reading →: No Fun Day today
Ugh, sick. Still. Again. This cold is just hanging on, refusing to let go. I worked yesterday and woke up feeling worse this morning. So my butt is not moving from my “bed” and pajamas are my clothes for the day. Yes, bed is in quotes, because I sleep in…

Continue reading →: The worst … and the best
Being sick is awful. I have a head cold that is just lingering, trying to settle in my chest, and in general causing me all kinds of grief. Yesterday I had a coughing fit that left me with about 3 or 4 minutes of back spasms. Goodness, I thought I…

Continue reading →: Saturday … Funday?
Being a teenager in the 80s has given me a fantastic repertoire of music. Today, Manic Monday by The Bangles is going through my mind while I write this. It’s peppy and just hearing it, or singing it in my mind, lifts my spirits. Their fun day might be Sunday,…
