Night Owls Vs. Early Birds (Part III-Sleep Hygiene)
Let’s talk about sleep hygiene. This is important whether you’re a night owl or an early bird or somewhere in between. Sleep hygiene often describes those behaviors surrounding a good night’s (or day’s) rest. It has to do with our sleep environment and our behaviors- the things we can control. Considering that a little over…

Gravity
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? I used to play a lot of Minecraft. My kids got me into it, and we’ve spent countless hours on there, literally hundreds, even through COVID, when we’d hop on our server and play and chat over Discord. There were…

Dream Home
Write about your dream home. It would have lots of sunlight… Trees all around… Like black walnut, and weeping willow… A lilac bush and a garden… But the best part of it would be the people that would be there. That’s what makes my dream house a home. 🙂 What would be in your dream…

If I Got Great News…
I’d share it! I’d be texting and calling my family. My friends. I’m not much of a social media sharer these days, but I keep in close touch with the ones that matter most to me. 🙂 What would you do?

Circus Peanuts
What’s your favorite candy? Spoiler alert- circus peanuts aren’t actually my favorite candy. But they have been on my mind a lot lately, and I’ve been eating them almost every day. Circus peanuts are old school! They are an American candy that’s marshmallow-y, fat, peanut-shaped, and orange. They taste like what I imagine styrofoam would…

Night Owls Vs. Early Birds (Part II)
What happens when we’re up all night? Or half of it? When I was working third shift as an RN, I’d get home around 8 or 830 in the morning and then try and sleep for at least 6 hours or so. It worked sometimes, but sometimes it didn’t. Even when I got sleep, I…

Information/Breaks
Do you need a break? From what? We all need breaks from time to time. I’m finding lately that what I want a break from is information. There is so much. All the time. At our fingertips. And it’s not always good, or accurate. There are times too, when I just want to stop and…

Invented
I’ve been around over half a century… So when I think about inventions, I had to google it because there have probably been a lot of them. The term “google it” for one. The internet is up there as one of the most important inventions of the last 50-plus years, and computers as well. Computers…

Night Owls Vs. Early Birds (Part 1)
I’ve always thought of myself as a night owl. I naturally tend toward being awake later at night, when things are quiet and there isn’t much to do as far as errands, social events, etc., and I can just do my own thing. But then I started working night shift after graduating from nursing school.…

A Perfect Day
What’s a perfect day like? A perfect day is waking up, having coffee, time for praying and meditating… reading… writing… eating toast… going for a walk… writing and reading some more… drinking more coffee… eating pizza for lunch… going to a bookstore… time with family and friends… time for arts and crafts… going out for…
