Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

October 2013

  • Addictions

    I have been off the stuff for several weeks now.  My drug of choice – Diet cherry Dr Pepper.  It was my decision to cleanse my body of the drink and the aspartame.  Mostly the aspartame.  I have to start somewhere in my endeavor to live as long as I possibly can.  To my knowledge, Read more

  • Quiet thoughts on noise….

    Occasionally,  I looked forward to having the house to myself..  I require quiet time in my day to recharge…sometimes to just be alone.  To not hear someone elses noise – chewing, breathing, sneezing, coughing…you get it.  I can be in the house alone all day and barely utter a peep to the critters.   I seem Read more

  • If you feel you are going to have to pray for me, don’t read this!

    What I am about to say will probably burn to the touch some of my “religious” friends.  I hope if you are reading this and are a God fearing organized religion supporter that you will step back and realize I’ve been on both sides of the aisle.  Most of the church going, fatalist, God fearing Read more

  • Yaaawn

    I’m so lazy today that I have given good consideration to leaving the full, hot coffee mug sitting on the Keurig so I don’t have to actually get up and walk alllll the wayyy in there to get it.  I have been able to take my foot and move a couple of tufts of hair Read more

  • It’s not that unusual…if you are a cat

    Living in a home dominated by cats has taught me to close the closet door in the bedroom so as not to have my underclothes strewn down the hall because he could not find a mouse to present…Benjamin Franklin. If you don’t claim your food and protect it…you have nothing to fear from the dogs.  Read more

  • Hard decisions…

    Julie’s visitation was last night (Friday night) and our nephew’s wedding rehearsal and dinner was at the same time.  Same situation with today’s funeral and wedding.  I was feeling a lot of emotional angst as to what I should do last night.  My friend, Deb Williams, gave me what I believe was the best advice…she Read more

  • When it stops….

    I have NOT been the least bit afraid of retirement.  What will you do?  What if the retirement money isn’t enough?  Aren’t you nervous about not working?  No not really…although I do look at my life right now and wonder how I”m going to feel when all of the stress just stops.  Oh, I’m not Read more

  • Barefoot in the morning…

    I snickered to myself this morning while walking between the bedroom to the kitchen because I turned on lights as I traveled the well worn path.  I have cats.  The number one fear is a hairball…if you have every stepped on a hairball, you will totally get me here.  Number two reason is we can’t Read more

  • R.I.P. Julie

    This morning I received one of those phone calls.  One from a dear friend telling me that one of our own has passed away.  I last saw Julie at the Rising Sun Youth Group reunion a few short months ago.  I sat next to her and we caught up on each others lives.  She said Read more

  • I had to laugh

    p>You know that feeling when you are driving somewhere – usually alone – you arrive at your destination or…squirrel…something knocks you out of your trance and you have no idea how you got there because you have been in a hypnotized state since the last time you can remember something getting your attention.  Well, it Read more
