I’m popping in to wish everyone a blessed new year.
I hope you all had a nice Christmas.

Five Seasons
Here we go again into another season without my Max. 
The grieving process is different for each individual, and for me, the first year is brutal with experiencing the change of seasons without him.
The Best of Everything
With all that’s going on in the world, my husband and I like to escape to a different era by watching Turner Classic Movies. We recently enjoyed a classic that we learned was the basis of a television series which aired in 2007-2015. This got me to comparing the two, and how they portrayed their characters.
Have you ever heard of the 1959 movie, The Best of Everything?
The Battle
Welcome folks. It’s been a while since I posted something, and I’ve had some deep thoughts I want to share.
So much has been happening in our society in 2020, and reports everywhere make it sound like the sky is falling. It’s difficult to decipher what is true and what is false. Is this more “chicken little” paranoia, or are we really getting toppled by the falling sky?
Why is it that some people feel they can control everything? From celebrities defying the aging process, to the weather, to a virus, to human behavior—at times it seems like certain folks think they can cheat death itself. Why do they believe they can bend everything to their will? Continue reading “The Battle”

Confessions from Lock Down
I probably shouldn’t confess this out on a public forum, but here we go anyway . . .
Times Are Weird
These times are weird
Germs are everywhere to be feared
Division by media is engineered
Old friendships are broken and smeared
Like a River
Find Someone Else
If you knew someone who lost their spouse just a few weeks ago, would you say, “I know it’s hard, but there are other men/women out there looking for love. Get on eharmony and find one who needs you?”
Holiday Spirits Beyond
Do you ever have moments of melancholy during the holiday season? I’m not talking about despair over a recent loss. I mean at any time during a regular season that’s going well and as planned. Do you ever get just a split second of sadness? This is probably more common for women, but maybe men sometimes get this, too?
The Season of . . . Payment?
My doubts continue about the humanity of humanity. This also ties in with the season of “giving.”
So, let me ask a question.
Humanity’s Inhumanity
My post today partners with my last one, about media influence on emotions. Bear with me, I’m going deep, and what I say may sound odd at first.
Knowledge Masters Fear
Too bad the sky doesn’t show the same captivating colors of dusk during times when the sun is high in the sky. Even a boring setting like the one depicted from my back patio can turn magical.
Do you think you could explain what a sunset or sunrise looks like to someone who never experienced one for themselves? Could you explain it so well that they could pass a test without having seen one?
What kind of learner are you? Do you respond better to learning from visuals? From text? From demonstration?
An Inappropriate Analogy
It’s been a while since I shared an introspective post, so here’s a “thinker” demonstrated in an analogy.
Imagine if every day at work you have to sit next to someone who has really bad body odor. The odor is nauseating. You put an air freshener at your station, but then it smells like a cow died in a flower garden. You don’t know what to do. You contemplate different ideas. Should I tactfully bring it up? Should I talk to the boss to see if there is anything that can be done? Continue reading “An Inappropriate Analogy”
I’m Just Gonna Say It
So, I debated what to say here today, or if to say anything at all. Depending on who reads it, this could be dangerous.
The Unexpected
Last year I wrote about sending out an intention to the Universe of something that you would like to occur in your life (or pray), and then trust it will happen. One example I shared before was the synchronicity of our move back home.
Not only does the Universe/God answer our call/prayer in due time, but sometimes we receive answers we aren’t even looking for.
