Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

July 2015

  • I’ve often exercised my brain cells thinking about my cupboards and closets.  They are a mess.  I don’t care about them…only how it relates to the fact I’m a closet slob!  One of the ways I irritate him is by my lack of rules when it comes to putting the dishes away out of the… Read more

  • I think it is a chigger.  Although, it is quite possible that I carry the little vermin around with me…somehow… considering the amount of bites I have.  I also suspect chiggers because of the location of those bites…around undergarments and in the nether regions.  I don’t understand the life cycle or the habits of these… Read more

  • I’ve been manipulated by the best of them.  It obviously took me awhile to figure it out. I found information on studies of the consummate manipulator that I found to be accurate in my own life.   The brazen schemers stand out in my life like a splash of ice water on a hot day…now, anyway.  I… Read more

  • It’s impossible to generalize the facts of living life through the kidney cancer diagnosis and treatment.  But the one thing that I think is a sure thing:  It changes us. We fight the devil! Through reading blogs and comments on social media sights, I’ve found we all have one thing in common…we want to live!… Read more

  • Another one of those success stories from Icehouse auction! The best part was being the high bidder at $20….the second best part….. I was on the other side of the room when I bid on it and when we got ready to leave, after he carried everything to the truck, I said…..don’t forget the grill… Read more

  • Before I delve into this, let me explain…  When I was young, I used to have crushes on Andy Williams, Perry Como, Tom Jones and other atypical hot entertainers and actors.  Oh holy crap…like Baltimore Orioles pitcher, Jim Palmer. Now that I’m old, I can totally appreciate the attractiveness of younger men….like one of the… Read more

  • My friend, Tracy, put this on Facebook this morning. The first 3 likes were from people who have had a cancer diagnosis.  This is so true with all joys and pain we go through in life.  When our friends and family step up to say “I’m so happy for you” or I”m so sorry” it… Read more

  • Trees of Life

    GroundHog commented on yesterday’s blog “Empty Houses have no soul” that he also felt there were evil trees….I was quite taken aback by his comment because I’m a tree hugger and never, ever been in the presence of an evil tree.  He expounded on it in his blog this morning and I understand what he sees….and… Read more

  • We took my car in for service this morning so when he picked me up we just drove further into Lee’s Summit  to pick up Jaxon.  In my non-talkative morning funk, I was deep in thought looking at houses…thinking about the big picture…there are people and families in those houses that I don’t know.  The people probably… Read more

  • When I blog, it is almost guaranteed that I have some passion behind it.  After lots of soul searching and therapy, I have lots of positive passion now compared to, say, my blogs of 2009 when I blogged more out of desperation to find air space somewhere because I knew I wasn’t going to make it up… Read more
