I was awake in the middle of the night recently, unable to sleep, which is of course when my mind starts running full bore. For some reason, my mind when back to something I did in high school, something that has stayed with me ever since in certain ways. I was a senior in high … More Looking Back – A Runaway
Well, not really a lighter note, but a general life moment. I have started enjoying coffee in my backyard during the morning hours lately. I so love sitting and watching all the different birds that play in our yard, at the bird feeders and birdbath. In fact, I absolutely love our new back yard in … More On A Lighter Note…
I bought a book of Mark Twain quotes recently, and this one really hit me: “We are strange beings, we seem to go free, but we go in chains – chains of training, custom, convention, association, environment – in a word, Circumstance – and against these bonds the strongest of us struggle in vain.” … More The Chains of Life
I saw this image online this morning and couldn’t help but smile. It so represents where I am at my life right now. It is something I needed to remember and need to keep remembering.

I am a firm believer that honesty is the best policy, except when it isn’t. There are times when what we feel should not be expressed. Let me explain. Have you ever had a strong connection with someone that you can’t be with? I have a friend, a male friend, and we are only friends. … More When Honesty Isn’t Best
I am having one of those days. You know the ones – where for whatever reason, you start doubting and start feeling like a failure again. It’s a day when I wish I still had close family to talk to. I miss being able to have meaningful conversations with my mom or my sisters, but … More Some Days You Just Need A Hug
“To love is to heal; to hurt is to steal.” These are lyrics from the song “Mysterious Ways” by U2. I have heard this song many times over but this particular line caught my attention recently. To love it to heal. Is life really just this simple? Can everything be explained in just this one … More Is It As Simple As This?
I am frustrated right now and as I explain, please know that I realize this is a generalization and that there are always exceptions. Here is my question – Is there really no such thing as a “nice guy”? I have had two separate experiences this last year that have me wondering if a guy … More Suuuure They’re Nice Guys
