You Never Know
We all need to try to remember to appreciate life as it is and to embrace health, family, and everything that goes along with it. When something happens, you should not look back with regrets and feel ashamed or responsible for something you had no control over. One minute life is just running along just […]
Lets Just Do it!
We all dwell on what we should and should not do, whether it be diet, exercise, a trip, a treat to ourselves, whatever. Lots of us mean well and think and verbally chat about these things over and over again. Some of us even act on this, but most of us seem to like the […]
National Nurses Week
We previously celebrated National Nurses Week, something I am not sure I have ever heard of before. I believe that these unsung heros are the kind of people we should salute every day. I have vivid memories of my nurses over the years, and although I may not have loved them all, 99% of them […]
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

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 […]
Donations From a Passing
4/15 Mark, On behalf of the Alesia Shute Foundation, we want to thank you for your generosity in having donations sent in our Carmen’s memory to the foundation. Carmen was very special to us for so many years. This is such a nice way for us to place a permanent memory of his smile, […]
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 […]
