Morning? Night? Neither.
Morning or night? It depends on what it is I have to do at the time. If it is to spend time with my husband, I am an anytime person. If I have to go to work and I really do like my job, I am a morning person. If it is a lunch date…

What is good about having a pet? Everything
I love my not dog. See she is really my husband’s dog, not my dog. What’s good about her? She keeps my husband happy. She wakes him up when his lung condition is making breathing difficult as he sleeps. She is fun to spend time with. She is love on four feet. All the good…

What would a year without social media be like?
I am taking a full year off social media. I know sounds crazy, hear me out. I have seen many ads lately for that app that says, “I dare you to disappear for a year and work on you.” It is a habit tracker geared to making you focus on self-improvement. One of the things…

Sometimes You Need a Little Time
I have taken a few days off from writing. Before my short break I had posted to this blog every day for 569 days. I was a little disappointed in myself for breaking my streak, but I needed the time to regroup. I need space to think about where my writing was going. By taking…
