  • If it talks and sounds like a duck…..

    My daughter told me straight out the other night that we are going to have a talk about my inability to recognize people who are wearing signs that say toxic!  Over the years, I’ve given a lot of people the benefit of the doubt and been bitten!  I’ve tried to figure out what causes me Read more

  • Stuck on age

    Mentally I’m finding myself in a different place.  I’ve not been one of those people who has REALLY been bothered by my age.  Every Birthday since probably 45, I’ve thought I can’t believe I’m fill in the blank  years old….and then I move on.  Until I turned   60.  (And that was before my birthday Read more

  • Some days I just require a distraction

    I have a part time job…I started it on Tuesday.  It is very part time…max of 15 hours a week.  I’m working at a salon/spa…doing reception, cleaning, laundry and tanning beds.  Compared to working 911 for 30 years, it is like mentally taking a nap.  Physically?  I spent two days off trying to recover from Read more

  • Have the good sob and get it over with…

    After dad died in 01 and mom in 09, I figured out that I am going to have a good Christmas cry close to the holiday…I never really know when it is coming….it is just triggered.  At first I would have a weepy day…all day…but then figured out that if I just give into it Read more

  • What do you say?

    My friends are like a variety pack of snack chips.  They come in all sizes, age, ethnicity, gay, straight, conservative, liberal, atheist, spiritual and  “religious” and gender.  The friends that make up my short list…will call them the besties…for the most part, have similar beliefs that I do.  I think it would be safe to Read more

  • Outside therapy

    I worked on the deck all afternoon…repotting some indoor plants….moving some of the big ones outside…organizing and cleaning.  Doing things I can control to occupy my mind and keep me from thinking about things I cannot control.  I sat in the sun and read but as soon as I was distracted with thoughts, I would Read more

  • We sent Saint Dana on today….

    It’s been a very trying week.  Baxter has been sick and at the vet all week.  We think he is going to pull through from whatever ails him…..either a virus or bacterial infection or both. My son in law’s grandmother died and was buried on Thursday.  While it was very sad, there was also peace Read more

  • Another life lesson

    Somewhere in the back of my mind, I’ve always thought that if I work hard, strive to remove the negative, have a positive mindset and do good things that eventually life will be perfect.  Life is not going to fit my model of perfect.  It is impossible.  Life is life and life happens!  It’s the Read more

  • I realize it is very difficult to find an opinion on FB 🙄

    First….I’m feeling better today.  Antibiotics have kicked in. Second….I’m finding out that many people suffer from diverticulitis.  In fact, the dear like-souls seemed to come out of the woodwork to empathize!  I’m sorry y’all have experienced it but thankful because I learn lots of helpful hints. The question I have rolling around in my mind. Read more

  • My healing day

    The only bad news today is the fact that I woke up this morning and realized, yes, I wasn’t wrong yesterday…diverticulitis is back. Three weeks ago, I was having some minor cramping…Dr said she thought I could probably heal it by doing a liquid diet but gave me a couple of antibiotic prescriptions just in Read more
