It’s Only for a Little While
People will tell you – It’s only for a little while. Whose “little while”? Sometimes it seems like a huge mountain. You can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am guilty of saying those six words. Now I need to listen to my own words echoing in my mind. October 17th,…

School memory
A friend got me thinking tonight. What school memory do you have? I have so many and they were not just from elementary school either! She can hardly remember anything. The conversation started after another classmate posted a funny memory about her son and one of his classmates puking on shoes. I said that I…

Stuff – need or want?
How much stuff do you have? Do you have all that you need? Maybe you have more than you need? Could you use more stuff? While journaling tonight, I realized that we all have “stuff”. We can’t take it with us either. I could live without so much and have learned to give up some…

Where are you supposed to be?
It all started over a year ago. One more move and we hope this will be the last one. Giving up, what we thought was our dream home, for a rough commute. The longest either one of us had to make in all our years of jobs. Where are you supposed to be? We did…

Habits – Resolutions?
Habits are one of those things that, no matter what it is, are either bad or good. You name it and anyone will tell you – bad or good.We all have them. Some of us have had them forever and many of us have just started them. Smoking, eating, drinking, chewing our nails, swearing –…

When Will it End?
I wrote this middle summer. It’s been a crazy four months. We started with Covid and now we are dealing with riots. Where does it stop? When will it end? We have enough crap to deal with and yet people are going crazy – seriously! If we would spend our time thinking and finding jobs,…

Summer and Work, Work, Work
The summer passed me by And I know the reason why – Work, work, work. The leaves quietly fall from Our trees to the ground – They are purple and dry. The colors and smells tell me I know – you should be be Doing something besides – Work, work, work. A…
