As I have written I have had to break up two loved ones’ homes during the years and in the process have inherited a lot of stuff. Kevin and I were always careful both with Aunt Hilda joining our home as well as Mom that we did not define it as moving in with us. [...]
I’m cheating a bit this week. Something I don’t usually do. I’m experiencing a bit of a writer’s block for some reason.
I’m feeling a bit blue. I’m hoping it is just the news of another snow storm arriving. I think the gray and cold and wintery days of winter have given us enough and I’m [...]
I feel I from time to time witnessed people that are two-faced and back stabbing and that upsets me because I truly try to be sincere. I have been in situations where someone will talk poorly about people and then when they are together they smile and laugh and do favors for the person.

I think I have learned more from my Mom now that I am older than in my younger days. Spending more time with Mom makes me really learn to appreciate the simpler things in life.
When I was younger and first had my son I did stop working. However I spent so much time worrying about [...]
This morning, I heard on the news that people lined up on a street in Manhattan and they brought their negative “baggage” with them. They wrote down their story or their paid bill, etc and shredded it and said good riddance. I said what a great feeling that is!
I don’t like dwelling on the past [...]
