I wasn’t going to publish a post this week, but reading others’ blogs sparked some thoughts. I’ve expressed similar philosophy that I read in those posts many times. I even wrote it into my latest novel, yet I haven’t been taking my own advice.
Is it true that we teach what we need to learn?

Lessons from the Leaves and a few Friends
My fellow bloggers . . . you are amazing. To all of you who read and commented on my post, Too Much Darkness, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your comments soothed my soul.
The comments got me thinking deeper. I could feel that all of you felt as I do, hurt down to the core for what is happening in our society (terrorizing attacks), but you knew better how to move on. I was stuck in place.
My blog’s most common theme is to look in inward for answers to anything outward that is troubling. So, I asked myself, why am I so driven to find answers about the Las Vegas tragedy? Why can’t I move forward?

Friday Philosophy
Thursday Thought
Well, I don’t know why my Thursday Thought went up on Wednesday. Maybe wrong date? I’m not going to try and figure it out, but I’m sending up a bonus one today.
Enough with the Stuff
I never thought of myself as a pack-rat. I despise clutter and like cozy but spacious living areas. How about you?
The ‘What If’ Factor
This time of year has gotten me thinking about the ‘what if’s.’ You know … what if I had made different decisions … or nature made a different decision for me? What alternate path would my life have taken, and how would I have handled it?
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.
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 …

Nature of the Lion
The white cat sat scrunched down on all fours.
We eyed each other suspiciously.
How did it get inside my house?
My husband walked by the cat
seemingly unaware of its presence.
I asked, “Don’t you see that cat?”
He answered, “No.
This is your dream, not mine.”
Ignoring us, he left the room. Continue reading “Nature of the Lion”
Guilt Part 2
Welcome back for Part Two of my ramblings on guilt. Part One can be found here. Do You Feel Guilty?
In my first blog on the subject, I talked about two kinds of guilt. 1) Having to say “no” to someone and disappoint them. 2) The “if only” guilt, thinking we could’ve done something different to change an outcome. There is such complexity to the issue that I’ll never touch on everything. It’s still on my mind, so I’ll further the discussion for this one more post. Continue reading “Guilt Part 2”
