A good neighbor is something people rarely speak about these days. People are so wrapped up in their busy lives that they forget that there are people living right next to them. Times have changed so much. I'm not totally sure it is for the good. Yes, technology is great! We all use it on …
Skill – To Learn…Good Question!
I must really think about this question. Learning anything at my age is a challenge. Well, it's not actually a challenge. I just don't have desire to try to push something else in my brain. At this point in my life, I must continue to hone-in on the things I already know and keep them …
Feeling…Right Now!
I am actually filled with many feelings at the present time. I am in the office alone - that's cool. My grandbabies are coming to swim - that's delightful. I'm moving this weekend - I love to redecorate. I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks- that's got me filled with anticipation. If I were to …
Daily Habit -Which One?
The first thing that comes to my mind is...having a cup of hot coffee. It may not be the sort of daily habit one might think of - but it clears the cobwebs and gives strength for the next thing on the list. Actually, there is one more important daily habit that I find to …
The Oldest Thing…On Me!
The oldest thing I am wearing today is my wedding ring. Marriage is always a work in progress. My husband and I will be married 44 years next Friday. As I look upon my rings, I am amazed at all the life we have lived together. It has been a wonderful journey. There has been …

Family Traditions
The mere words of "Family Traditions" makes me smile and warms my heart. It is very rewarding to think of the traditions that my husband and I started when our boys were small to see them doing them today with their families. In this post I will list three of the traditions that come to …
Winter Has Arrived – Here – Finally!
I know that I might be a bit repetitive about the fact that I love snow, but I just have to say it again...I Love Snow. I can hear all of you naysayers out there - I realize that with any kind of weather that there are two sides. The loves and the loveless. However, …
I Have A Published Children’s Book!
I had a post up last month, but something went wrong. So, I am trying it again. In December of 2023, I had my first children's book published. The name of my book is Woodie the Oak Tree and The Big Red Barn: Learning That He's Not Alone. It's about a talking tree who was …
Lean In…
The other day a small phrase was brought to my attention. It has been rolling around my mind trying to find a place to grow. Again, today I was listening to some music and one of the band members said that we need to “lean in.” What does it actually mean to “lean in”? I …
