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
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…

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?

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
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…

Significance… and Perspective
There are 4 or 5 events that have a lot of significance to me. The birth of each of my 2 kids. My marriage. My divorce. The day I graduated nursing school in the middle of a pandemic. Those are the big ones. More than anything, those events show me how much I have to…
