As an adult it is good to try to understand reoccurring behavior. Over ten years ago, I figured out that I have some anxiety when I go to a gathering of women whom I have never met before. I always feel at ease once I get there and start greeting the other attendees, so there … More Love Yourself
I love poetry. Even as a child, I loved it. Many of the old-timey poems, nursery rhymes, and songs were read or taught to me by my mother, father, or aunt. I think our mother read poems to us and I know she sang to us too. The first poem I remember was taught to … More One of My Simple Pleasures: Poetry
I watched as she walked down the sidewalk, a neighbor and acquaintance. She was friendly, smiling, but was in her own world to some degree. We stopped to chat, since I felt I had known her from my past. We set a time to get together to learn more about each other. She was always … More I Was Her Once

I have unlimited energy.” After all, usually nothing happens (that we can see) when we participate in risky activities at that age. It takes getting older before we realize, “I screwed up!” Where … More My Back Talks Back
A few years ago, I installed a new water filter into the top, right, rear corner of the refrigerator. It was one of those twist filters that screws up into the apparatus that connects it to the water line that runs from the refrigerator’s dispenser to the wall to the water dispenser in the back … More Water Was Spewing Out of My Refrigerator
I’ve had some humorous events while cat sitting for two friends. I have a Google phone, who usually answers when I ask it questions. I enjoy the freedom of asking her to set the alarm for the next morning’s awakening or enter an event on my calendar on command or call a friend’s number. I … More Alexa, Google and I
