Just everyday life stuff.

  • Missing Your Beautiful Face

    I cannot tell you when I wrote this, exactly.  I know it was written while I was pregnant with my daughter over 30 years ago.  I had more time than money and still have more time than money!  I am sharing this for the first time and putting it here just as it was written…

  • Time and Time, Again

      Time and time, again we think that today is the day.  Sometimes I don’t feel like doing things. I still try to do something.  There is never a day that makes me want to give up. Keep going, it will get better.  I am up early and going outside makes me feel refreshed. The…

  • My New Housecoat

    Posted – 2014 Sometimes it’s about the clothes…. my hubby got me my early birthday present – my new housecoat.  The thing is, I have to throw the old one away. That may not seem like a big deal to some, but to me, it is a little “big” deal. I am all for sending…

  • Fridays

      Are Fridays really Fridays?  What do you think of when you think of Fridays?  It used to mean the weekend for many and probably still does.  For many of us, though, Fridays do not have the same meaning.  The world has definitely evolved into a 24-hour mess.  Why do I say mess?  Because you…

  • Prayer is Not Always Done in Church

          Prayer comes easier to me at night.   I try to pray. Doing it doesn’t make me more or less religious.   I do it because I believe. I am a strong believer that there is more than we can ever know. Religion doesn’t have to mean an hour, or whatever time, of praising…

  • Prayer

    I try every day to be thankful. I try every night to pray. I don’t do it because I’m religious, I do it because I believe. I am a strong believer that there is more than we can ever know. Religion doesn’t have to mean an hour, or whatever time, of praising God. It is…

  • Fall into another Season

          I wrote this last fall and have finally had a chance to publish it. I have been feeling a little nostalgic, lately.  Fall always brings back those childhood memories.  The clear skies, fresh air, short days, football games, leaves falling – there is just something about this time of year. Yesterday and…

  • Grandchildren

    The blessings that they bring.  Babies born onto our children.  Little versions of our babies when they were babies. Crying, eating, pooping, smiling, crawling, giggling, growing little by little until all of a sudden they are the best version of two people who fell in love in the first place.  Take back the long, restless…

  • Well, are you ready?  Almost ready?  Kind of ready?  Not really ready?  Definitely not ready? I am at the almost ready stage.  The last five years we have been really working on being at the almost ready stage.  Nothing scares me more than not being ready.  Are you kidding me?  If health care, IRAs, 401Ks,…
