Over the weekend we went to a nature park near our house. The weather was a little cool, but otherwise, gorgeous. No greenery yet, but it will be here soon. Continue reading “Lingering Effects”

The Best Disinfectant
Over the weekend we were hoping to get some of that disinfecting UV light, but Saturday it rained all day. My brand new tulips enjoyed it though.
Confessions from Lock Down
I probably shouldn’t confess this out on a public forum, but here we go anyway . . .
Things Not Yet Seen
I’m sure many people have heard about the Power of Intention. It may also be known as the Law of Attraction. Let me tell you folks, this is a real thing. Whenever I put out a message to the Universe (which for me is praying to God) for something I need, eventually my message gets a response. Let me give you some examples.
Pastina
It’s kind of a busy week, so this post will be short and sweet. Well, maybe more savory than sweet.
Heartwarming Humanity
I don’t even know where to begin with this blog post, because there is so much running through my mind that I could say.
Okay Science, I Give Up
Remember when margarine was better for you than butter? Remember when eggs held dangerous cholesterol levels and they suggested egg substitutes? Remember when coffee was bad for you, and then it wasn’t?
Short and Sickly Sweet
This is literally a sick post, because as I type this out, I’m battling some torturous cold and cough from hell.
That’s what’s great about the internet, you can’t catch my germs as we communicate.
Deeply Personal
I wish this was going to be one of my quippy posts, but no. I have a serious, personal confession to make, and I’m a bit embarrassed by it. I thought I’d throw it out there. Maybe it’ll help someone else suffering from the same thing to not feel so alone.
Recovery and Change
In the future, I may have more lessons to share that I’ve learned from my husband’s injury, but this will probably be the last update on his condition.
Update Central
I’ve contemplated whether or not to share updates about my husband’s injury. I mean, this blog was not intended to be all about a recovery, but rather, about life’s lessons, studying human behavior, then learning and growing from it all. Why would people want to read about a man’s two broken feet?
The more I contemplated, the more I realized that the path we are on has lots of lessons to share. With each new day in this crisis, we discover something new about ourselves. For example, we should never sell ourselves short. There are so many things I thought I couldn’t do before this crisis, but now I’m doing them. This isn’t just a lesson for me, but I share it for all. There is a spirit of strength inside all of us.
But I digress, because this blog post is the latest update and lesson on our path.
I know I shared this particular theme before, but it’s always a good reminder. Today’s lesson … gratitude. Let me show you why. Below is a ‘before’ photo.
Grocery Shopping and Underwear
My husband asked me to write a blog about underwear, and since he’s still recovering from an injury, I thought I’d oblige.
It works out in the end
I thought I’d post an update from my last winded blog post about my husband’s injury and the debacle of his scheduled procedures.
Before I Calm Down
Caveat: This was drafted on Friday the 13th, and is being posted today.
Okay, I’m writing on the fly right after a very frustrating event, so let’s see how this plays out with me just writing from emotion. I’m not calmed down yet, so here goes …
Coping with an Injury
I’m slowly returning from a blogging hiatus after my husband’s accident. We’re still dealing with things, but learning to manage it a bit better. I can’t say for sure, but I hope to post a blog once a week now, plus another for the wisdom quotes I share. I would also like to read more of your blogs when I can. I may not have as much time to comment, but I’ll let you know I read with a ‘like.’ I really do read, I’m not one of those bloggers. 😉
Weekly Wisdom Plus
Up, Down, Sad, Happy, Good, Bad
When I first moved to Florida twenty-five years ago, one of the local newspapers gave away free papers on any day the sun didn’t shine. I don’t know if that is still their policy, but I learned very soon that this truly is the Sunshine State.
Sad Max
Gift Horse
The past ten days I ran into some bad mojo. Everything was going wrong. I say ‘was’ because I refuse to let the bad ‘mo’ continue into this week.
I’ll start with the title of the blog.
Just a Little Tweaking
In my blog, Best Laid Plans, I wrote about how grateful I am with all that I have in my life, and that’s true. I’d love to tweak a few things though.
For example, as my regular readers know, the heat and humidity take its toll on me where I live. So, I’d tweak my life by changing my geographical location (which I will do some day). I’d love to live near mountains (you may get a new neighbor, Pete, or Nick).
