In this moment, I am full of gratitude… Gratitude for this computer I am typing on…what a marvel. It’s amazing to my unscientific mind that someone figured this out…created a computer when never there was one before. I am grateful for my fingers, the dexterity to move from key to key with relative ease. Grateful…
I’m baaack! I don’t know if you noticed I was absent last week, but I was. My well had run dry. I needed a weekend laughing and talking with my sisters. I needed to celebrate my granddaughter’s birthday. I needed a week spent reading others blogs…soaking in their wisdom and wit without worrying about coming…
Thank you Cindy and Heidi… …for the special deliveries. I hope no one’s keeping track, because I’m pretty sure I’m way behind on the thoughtful gestures. I promise to do better. I couldn’t be more blessed to have you for sisters…and to have both of you living so close. Now if we could just get…
Like all of you, I have plenty of serious things on my mind right now and a whole list of important things needing to be done. What I don’t have enough of is lighthearted playtime. So this summer, instead of a bucket list, I decided to create a play list…not the kind you download on…
Breathe in. Breathe out. I cannot stop this virus from doing what it will do in the world. I cannot make another person wear a mask, practice social distancing, or wash their hands.

It’s easy to get so caught up in the hustle of life that we forget to appreciate the small miracles that happen every day. June has been particularly full of stressors for me and mine…some happy, some not so happy. Anyway, it has been more important than ever for us to savor the small joys…
Here we are at the end of spring. My how time flies! Do you ever wonder why? I can tell you. But however we got here so fast, we did…and today’s post is a final report on our Spring Bucket Lists. I hope you did everything you wanted to. Here’s how I did. Health &…
Time flies—and the older you get, the faster it flies. So I’d always been told by my older, wiser family members. They weren’t wrong. I recently received a LinkedIn message congratulating me on 22 years of service with my current employer. What?!? That can’t be right. I considered myself “middle-aged” when I arrived for my…
So far, the year 2020 has not been what I expected. We started January with my mother’s funeral. In March, we said goodbye to our beloved Charlie Dog. Also in March, we went on COVID-19 lockdown and experienced a 5.7 magnitude earthquake. April brought multiple aftershocks, some rather large. In May, we moved my mother-in-law…
