The World
Watching the news lately is a difficult task with all the violence going on in our country alone. I find it difficult to believe that for some reason people cannot find harmony and learn to live together. Whatever our color, religion, etc, we are here because we have a right to believe in and have […]
Positive Thoughts
I often like to cover this issue since I strongly believe in it. Positive thoughts are keeping you ahead of the game. We often go into a crisis with a “why me” attitude covered in remorse about being picked out for this terrible thing. It could be a financial issue, health issue, personal feeling issue, […]
A Beautiful Service
Recently we went to a friends memorial service. Tom was the twin brother of a very very dear friend of mine and his passing is something I will never understand the pain of loosing a twin. Although I did not know Tom very well, his siblings and entire family are one of those families you […]
Spring? Finally ?
So, is it spring or not? Yes, the sun is out, bright and strong, on some days but stepping out the door is a little shocking for most of the morning at least. I know that the months of March and April can be iffy, but after the long cold days of this past winter […]
Here They Come
I know it may be a bit early but the hum of chatting about our Hummingbird feeders has been abuzz. For some reason, it has been a topic a few times this week and then I got a text that they have been spotted in the state of New Jersey. With that said, I have […]

Are We Ever Satisfied?
Too cold. Too hot. Too rainy. Not Sunny enough. Are we ever happy? Funny thing waking up on a day you expected to open an eye to 10 inches of snow and instead we open our eyes to a rainy night and morning and for some reason felt disappointed. Why? Well they said it was […]
An Ill Friend
I have been chatting with a friend, who I will not name, about the surgery she has scheduled for cancer. She is a strong, confident, independent, lovely women and has been a good friend over the 25 years or so I have known her. We may not have spent unlimited time together throughout those years, but […]
A Friend
There is a friend of mine who has a challenged daughter. Not remembering her diagnosis and being misleading is not what I want to blog about but it is the person within. Lisa and I became friendly when she opened her business in my area and I began to frequent it. We have never been […]
Grandchildren
Recently, our two granddaughters spent the night at our home. I often write about them since they are a big part of our lives. These two special young ladies are so very full of life. They embrace everything and see everything in such a refreshing way, that it has to make you smile. I am […]
