Video Games are a Time Suck…
and maybe that is what we need right now. Maybe the diversion will help us get through this social distancing desperation. Listen, y’all. I do not play video games. I have seen friends become just as addicted to video games as others are to alcohol and drugs. Yes, that is a moral reason not to…

Dogs are Not Things
If you are lucky enough to be owned by a dog then you understand that dogs have emotions. They are living creatures with a soul. I have blocked many people on social media who post any type of animal cruelty, but especially abused dogs. You can tell a lot about a person by how they…

It’s Grief and it’s Real
I miss our crazy busy life. With three teenagers and two preteens, a full time job, writing part time, and a fur baby, my husband and I were always doing something or going somewhere. All of our schedules went in many different directions. We also had an active social life. There were friends at our…

Let’s Go Back
I can’t be the only one who sees some silver in the lining of this cloud we are living in. This step back from life has given humans a pause to consider what is really important. They are looking at the necessary things and deciding what they can live without. We are all realizing what…

Saturday-I am thankful for…

Thursday- I am thankful for…
dogs. Our dog is nothing but love and happiness on four feet. Harley Quinn is a companion, a snuggler and a smile. If you have a dog that loves you then you know what it’s like to be their human. It is a privilege.

Wednesday- I am thankful for…
people who smile through adversity. I finally braved a couple of stores for provisions. I was greeted by smiling workers and a lot of “how can I help you” while keeping a nice distance from me. These people are tired. I could see it on their faces. Some looked stressed. Even through all of that…

Tuesday- I am thankful for…
instant communication. What if we had no way to communicate as things happen? I think about the past and how long it took information to travel. Often if it didn’t happen close to home you never knew it. Now, we can hear about things almost in real time. Think about the way you communicate with…

Monday- I am thankful for…
Doughnuts. Those sweet circles of goodness that for a few seconds can distract my brain from the chaos of life. I know I hear ya. Stress eating is bad. I am sure that Hanson Gregory, an American, who claimed to have invented the ring-shaped doughnut in 1847, did not mean for me to use them as…
