What you see…

I’ve watched Jeopardy for as long as I can remember, long before Alex became the very embodiment of the show. I prayed for the man like I knew him and grieved when he retired. I’ve always truly strongly disliked the removal of the 5 day play limit. Ken’s 75 game win was hard for me,Continue reading “What you see…”

Sprinkling Fertilizer

Yes, I know, you’re busy. You are far too busy to even think about adding anything else to your all too busy schedule. Allow me to submit a proposal. You see a few years ago, I began to seek to learn a new skill each year, now if you know me, you understand how largeContinue reading “Sprinkling Fertilizer”

Ego Testing

I don’t usually allow myself to brag or toot my own horn. I’ve always found myself shrinking away from pointing out my accomplishments. If I think on it, it started with all of the As on my report card. It was the rule in my house to get paid for grades. A = $5, BContinue reading “Ego Testing”

New Beginnings

One would think that new year resolutions would be on my mind, and in truth I do have one which was made manifest today in completion. I’ve decided to make them monthly and allow each month it’s own victory. I need these small but consistent victories. Sure, I will endeavor to have more than oneContinue reading “New Beginnings”

It truly isn’t about the gifts. It’s about the people that grace your life. anywho….. merryContinue reading “Here’s to a happy new year”

Ever Diligent

When did the power of the Creator become impotent? I stopped while channel surfing and watched a scene in which a group of teens were using witchcraft to escape from something. The images were compelling. I asked myself what that scene would look like if it were teens praying to the God I profess. IContinue reading “Ever Diligent”

Exciting and New

Yesterday, the newest Nanaboy tried a new food. He was apprehensive at first, brow furrowed, lips clasped tightly shut. So I put the entire experience in his control. He smelled it, and then he licked it cautiously. I saw the moment he knew that this was something he was going to like. I giggled andContinue reading “Exciting and New”

Buenos Dias!

It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Recently a friend died, leaving those around him unchecked access to his life and all of its messes. In some instances, grief was overshadowed by anger. He lived as we all live, openly secret about our mess. It has been a huge job tidying up his life.Continue reading “Buenos Dias!”

Gone Forever

Death is so prevalent around me, so much so, it seems that someone I know dies each day. And no, it’s not always Covid. It is the inevitability of death. Most go through this life trying to keep it at bay and some just don’t care either way. It will come. So I’m choosing toContinue reading “Gone Forever”

UGH

I know you’re thinking it, so there I’ve said it. Ugh! Now that that’s out of the way, you must always remember to take a little time for yourself. MAKE TIME for yourself, even if it’s only a few minutes alone in the bathroom. Yep, this can be tricky, especially if you have children. However,Continue reading “UGH”
