My Puppy
I often blog about my dog and all the dogs that we have had throughout my life. There is nothing like having a dog (or any pet for that matter). Your pet loves you unconditionally, through the best and worst of life, day or night, rain or shine. Whether you have committed a crime, become […]
Travel With Family and Ill Children
Travel, in some capacity, is something most of us enjoy. Some of us like short day trips, mini-weekend getaways, exotic vacations, or longer breaks over a week or two. Personally, I enjoy going away. Planning how to pack. Accepting the challenge not to over-weigh the suitcase. It has become an adventure to fly while bringing […]
Father’s Day
Every year for the past, maybe, 7-8 years, we have had a Fathers Day shindig at our home. We invite the entire family and a couple of close friends over for a late afternoon barbeque, just to all be together. We do not always throw this on Fathers Day proper, but try to pick a […]
Growing Up
When I was ending my first year of college, my uncle got me a job at the Jersey shore. I stayed with him and found that I did not love the job. Although I felt bad, I quit and found something more exciting for my age. I became a bartender in a nightclub. How could […]
Relieving Stress
Yes, we all have stress. We cannot avoid it but we can curb it if we choose to. Sometimes it builds to the point of effecting our health, disrupting our sleep, eating habits, exercise schedule, work performance, etc. If we let it, it can overwhelm us with thoughts we have no control over. You say […]
Memories
I’ve been reading a lot online about people that have suffered a loss. Most of these posts are on my Facebook page and each time I read about a child, mother, or any loved one who has passed, I think of my mother. I usually do not blog on how much I miss her, her […]
A Marriage
Recently, my husband and I stood up for two friends that decided to wed. I am thrilled for them since, although in different scenarios, they both have been to hell and back. One suffered the tragic loss of a companion after 30 years together. The other went through a relationship with a partner who suffered […]
Getting Together with the Girls
The next thing I declare as very important in the ‘Year of You,’ is not forgetting to do things for yourself. Even though you may be caretaker, in charge in some way of a sick child (or even a family member who is an adult), you cannot forget about yourself. I have often blogged about […]
Mother Nature
I often blog about my fascination with Mother Nature and her ways of the world. Every year, no matter how horrid the winters may be or even how mild, mother nature shows her true colors just about the same time each and every year. One day it happens. I walk outside and there they are… […]
Graduation Day
Like most of you out there, I’m celebrating my nephew’s graduation from college and his success in becoming a teacher today! Of course he does not have a job as of yet, but I have complete faith that he’ll find one before the summer comes to an end. I wish him all the happiness and […]
