    Favorite Kicks

    Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you. My Brooks are my favorite shoes. Ever since I got into healthcare, and was working as a tech in the hospital pharmacy, running around all day, hunting down prescriptions for nurses (before I would become that nurse), I have been hooked on…

    One of the Best Gifts…

    Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. My children. 🙂

  • Patriot

    Patriot

    Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? This is a good question to think about right now, this President’s Day… I think of myself as patriotic. Being patriotic means that I love my country and what it stands for. It means that I might not always agree with those in charge, but…

  • Well, That Didn’t Work…

    Well, That Didn’t Work…

    If there were a biography about you, what would the title be? Well, That Didn’t Work… But That Did! I have made my share of mistakes in life. But there are things that have worked. And the mistakes I’ve made are all part of what has made me who I am today. So in a…

  • At My Age

    At My Age

    What were your parents doing at your age? When my parents were in their early 50s, they were doing pretty much the same things I’m doing- working, being active in their activities that they’d put on hold while raising kids, getting involved with hobbies. But something that they were doing that I am not is…

    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…

  • Dream Home

    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…

    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?

  • Night Owls Vs. Early Birds (Part II)

    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…

  • Invented

    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…
