A Look on the Brighter Side of Life
Dear Diary, I need to vent. Well, actually, I think I really need a nap, then a long getaway. And while I’m away, can the “helper fairy” please make a visit and get me all caught up? Yes? Thanks! You’re the best! Now if only it truly worked that way. Lol! But, hey. A girl Read More …
Like most everyone else in developed countries, Valentine’s Day brings fond thoughts of my own valentine. So, I thought I’d take this opportunity to share what an amazing man my Lord has blessed me with. As of last month, we have now officially been together for thirty-five years. (Wow. How time flies!!!) In some ways Read More …
Learning to juggle all of life’s demands is something we all learn to do eventually. Then relearn. And learn it again, and again. (I know I have! Lol!) Yep! It’s one of those things that’s ever-changing! And that is simply due to the fact that life itself is ever-changing. Hence, the need to periodically re-evaluate Read More …
For what ever reason, I am feeling a bit melancholy today, despite it being the heart of the Christmas season. There’s just something not quite right about that. Ya know?

Now that we’re past Thanksgiving, we can focus on Christmas, traditions, and memories new and old. Let’s not get caught up in the arguments of what to call this season. After all I covered that in my Think About It post last year. We have much better things to do with our time, such as Read More …
This Thanksgiving holiday has me thinking about family, those still here and those who have gone from our presence.

So, it’s been a while since I’ve done a “random thoughts” post. And, it’s been super busy this week. Therefore, here’s some random thoughts that have been flitting though (a.k.a. crowding) my brain lately. – Did you know it’s almost impossible to set up a new computer without having to “sign in” to almost every Read More …
Healing is a process. And along that process we must face our wounds. New wounds. Old wounds. You know, “leave no stone unturned”. I’m not saying you must attack every hurt and every painful memory at one time. But, when a wound, or a deep emotional response presents itself, we must dig into it and Read More …
Everyone has internal family feuds occasionally. Some families have them more often than others. Some families, by some miracle of God, never seem to have any true “feuds” that endure. Then there are some that take their family feuds to the next level. You have probably heard of a few yourself. I know I have! Read More …
The “prayer of serenity” has a lot of memories for me. My Granny had a scroll calendar that hung in her hallway. On the back was the serenity prayer. After the “year” was over, you could turn it backwards to display the prayer. And that is exactly what my Granny did. So, over the years, Read More …
