Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

  • My Nurses

    I challenge you to take a moment right now to list every nurse you have encountered in your life…whether personally or professionally. I’m confident the majority of people do not have a sufficiently detailed memory or a sheet of paper long enough to document the associations! I hold nurses in my heart with esteem and Read more

  • So the thing about lists

    I wasn’t quite sure how to start this one out…perhaps something like this: During an afternoon Zoom chat group, the topic of lists came up and I said quite innocently that I don’t make lists. The group got very quiet…one person shyly spoke up and said, “you are truly living life on the edge!” That’s Read more

  • So many thoughts 9 more hours

    There is absolutely nothing going on today. It’s breezy, barely over 60 so I decided to use this day as a ?mental?health day which turned into I really need to find something constructive to do….I’m bored! My last thought as I was cleaning up lunch dishes and putting silverware in the dish washer was a Read more

  • I just Shot my wife

    911 Where is your emergency: I just shot my wife What is the the address of your location: Done Where is your wife: at the bottom of the steps Where is the gun: its laying on the table Hearing other voices in the background, I asked the man to move into another room away from Read more

  • Where do tree frogs actually reside?

    I wondered from afar if the rock would be smooth enough to paint and draw a design to go along with my other kindness rocks around the house. As I got closer, I noticed it glistened. As I leaned it to pick it up, I realized with a sense of total panic that it was Read more

  • I miss the simpler times

    ….and by simpler, I mean the last year… I woke up loaded for bear this morning (not something I need to mention…waking up soft and gentle would be actual news). THIS morning, I went quickly to writing my Morning Pages which has become easier this week because I recognize the need to get “whatever it Read more

  • I had no idea the parents died in the movie

    If it weren’t raining for day number 40 of 40 days and 40 nights, I possibly would be in a better mood. Even though we have had a few days….and I mean VERY FEW days…. without rain since our unseasonably cold days, I fear that little scream that has been bouncing around inside my head Read more

  • I AM WHAT I AM

    I have been thinking it was retirement that has taken the pressure off. The pressure of no longer entertaining the belief that I’m not as smart or as worthy as everyone else…mentally living in my head believing that because I didn’t pursue a college educated career I wasn’t as good as or as worthy as Read more

  • Naked ladies look better than ever

    So happy when we uncovered the Naked Ladies (aka Belladonna Lily) today. I had been out looking for them swiping at the mulch cover but obviously had dug around in the wrong spot. This is probably the 4th year for them to actually pop out of the ground and this year looks to be a Read more

  • Where I find myself this Friday afternoon

    Or at least I think its Friday…quite frankly, I really have no idea what day it is anymore. COVID quarantine on the heels of retirement joined together with a personality that was always busy living my job and filling my day’s off with sanity recovery, chores and rules. One would think having no rules, no Read more
