It’s been too long since I’ve posted one of these… The Good (and not so good) I love my cats, Devi and Kali.  I’m concerned about Kali; she’s losing weight but is acting just fine.  Bringing her to the vet is a nightmare because she gets all crazy but it might be a necessary trip. My son took second place in his bowling tournament this weekend, however, no matter...

Morning Moments - Peace and Inspiration
I woke up early this Sunday morning, pulled on some jeans and a light long-sleeve shirt and headed out of the house sans make-up (egad!), and drove to a nearby cemetery that has beautiful statuary and lovely early morning light.  I stopped by the gas station on the way to pick up a giant cinnamon roll for my husband and a banana chocolate chip muffin for me for when I returned home. Many of the...

When I Grow Up I will keep a journal of my thoughts, my feelings. Silly or otherwise, the journey of my life. I will remember to write down the names of all the people I love.  Just me, a list of the best. I will always try to forgive,...

Birthday Blues
I’m not sure why but every year I get the blues on my birthday.  Why do you suppose that is?  I try not to have any expectations for what people consider their “special” day, so why am I often disappointed and then fall into a deeper funk by wondering why I’m not at a different place at this point in my life? I’m generally a positive person but this one day each...

Woodridge. Wanna give it a try?  If you do, will you share your poem in the comments of this post or share a link to where you’ve posted it?  I’d love to...
