My heart and mind have been full of sadness for the world that we’re living in now. How hard it is sometimes to choose one person when the “mudslinging and insulting” is going on! It has been and still is difficult to listen, focus, and choose a topic and title that we all can agree … More There Is Little Love in Politics
I have had a long struggle with my self-image! I think it’s time for a truce between my body, mind and spirit. When I was in first grade another girl called me string bean. I don’t recall that moniker bothering me because I was too young to care about labels and how skinny or chubby … More Self Image Assessments
Seeing my world is definitely one pleasure I am so thankful for! When I was 12 years old I started having trouble seeing the writing on the blackboard in school. Since I always sat at the front of the class anyway, I didn’t notice the insidious changes of nearsightedness. Soon the front row seat stopped … More Open Your Eyes!
I am basically a very happy person. My parents used to wake up my sisters, brother, and me with, “Rise and shine!” That was a great way to start your day for a young kid. It helped me look at life as a challenge, with a positive attitude for the later trials of the day. … More Do What You Can Do
I disagree with the old saying, “Beauty is only skin deep.” I saw a post on Facebook showing women before their applications of make up. Beside each photo was a photo of them with makeup on. The photos of these same women, without makeup, amazed me. They looked so different and yet beautiful in a … More Beauty is Not Only Skin Deep
After my husband passed away in 2009, my brother came and helped me rearrange or sort out my husband’s items and clothing. He helped me get a good footing on my life again. But my attitude about myself needed to expand to the freedom I needed in order to become the me that I was … More A New Attitude: Independent
I am, and have been for a long time, a “tree hugger.” Being a teenager in the 60s, I was a “flower child” of sorts. I loved living things and nature. I have always had a special bond with trees. Trees are a life form that I love and respect. These sentinels of nature have … More I Love Trees
Over the years I’ve had several interesting encounters with people, which made me feel that I had been led to be at a certain place at a certain time. As a whole, I love people. I was raised in a loving family and was taught in church that God loves everyone. So, I generally have … More Try A Little Kindness
Thirteen years after my husband’s death, I was happy; my back was stabilized after a long bout with sciatica from two lumber discs bulging (I lost 25 pounds, which helped a lot). I have a good home, two awesome sons and two wonderful daughters in law, and three grandchildren! (Oh, and my cat, Norie.) I … More Memories and Shiny Pennies
Last night I had trouble going to sleep. I realized that at least part of the day I had had unsettled feelings. I felt like the old person who is always saying, “I long for the good ole days when everyone got along (or wasn’t like this!”) I couldn’t watch the news showing one group … More “Come on People Now!”
