Afraid

I will admit it, I am afraid of these shoes. They are nice shoes. I like the colors. They fit well. I have only worn them maybe nine times. But they are the shoes I was wearing when I fell. The back heel caught just enough on the carpet to send me tumbling forward. Yeah,Continue reading “Afraid”

Best You Can

About two months ago we were in the parking lot of a big box store and this very large SUV was either trying to park or trying to get out of a parking spot (to this day I am not sure). My son and I sat and waited while the SUV pulled forward are turnedContinue reading “Best You Can”

Join Me

When I fell two weeks ago and needed knee surgery, they told me I would probably be off work for six weeks after surgery and it was doubtful I would drive before then (my right knee). What in the world would I do to keep busy in that time period? I knew the first twoContinue reading “Join Me”

What Have You Done for You Lately?

We do things for others all the time and think nothing about it. I cook, grocery shop, fix things, do laundry, all because I love my family and want them to feel that love and happy. I send cards to friends for special occasions and for no reason at all except to make them smile.Continue reading “What Have You Done for You Lately?”

Chicken, Egg or Fives?

Which came first, chicken or egg? Well first off, this post is going to post after Christmas but written prior. Some thoughts just need to sit and marinate. Some years, Christmas approaches and I am all, cards and cookie baking. I am good will toward all and thoughtful gift buying. I am secret Santa andContinue reading “Chicken, Egg or Fives?”

It is not too late

You are probably thinking it is. It is too late to make that apology; tell someone you are sorry or give someone a compliment. It is not too late. The human spirit craves these things. And as long as the reaching out is sincere and not about you; well, I cannot fathom it would notContinue reading “It is not too late”

Oh, This is Sure Stirring Up Some Ghosts for Me*

If I try to picture my brain, it is filled with banker boxes. Probably because I spend 20+ years of my life in a very paper heavy profession (only to join a more paper heavy profession) that required we hold all forms for 7+ years. Hence, I am very familiar with storing in banker boxesContinue reading “Oh, This is Sure Stirring Up Some Ghosts for Me*”

The Book Was Better

You have read the book… any book that talks about spreading someone’s ashes. Heck, I’ll make one up. Sandra found herself on the jagged edge of the shore, heart breaking but knowing she had to fulfill Robert’s last wishes to return to the sea that he loved … at times even more than his loveContinue reading “The Book Was Better”

Taking to My Bed with Vapors

When I was fifteen, I worked as a docent in a historical home. We wore large dresses with hoops under them and took people on tours throughout the house spouting numerous facts and odd tidbits of information. In one of the bedrooms was a fainting couch and while we could not sit on any ofContinue reading “Taking to My Bed with Vapors”

It had been a bit

Since I had worked in a field that encouraged going to conferences. Back in the early 90s, it was all the rage. Lots of corporate money flying around. Lots of conferences in Vegas or Orlando. Seemingly little sessions but lots of golf, I am told. When I was about 8, my father was a volunteerContinue reading “It had been a bit”
