Have Fun
With all the bad news out there it is important that you take time to have fun when you can. One of my habits is to surround myself with quirky and unique things. They mean nothing to anyone else and they are nothing of any monetary value. Things given to me or things I have…

Lines Are Drawn
Where are your limits? What do you value? There is an old saying that says, “What you permit, you promote. What you allow, you encourage. What you condone, you own.” ~ Unknown I have drawn some lines. God is first in my life, heart, mind and soul. I do not care if you agree or…

Art > Therapy
I am not artistic in the painting, drawing, sculpting sense of the word. I am a word artist. I create images in the minds of readers like you. When I write about a flower that has brilliant red and yellow petals on a stem of green with sunlight shining down on it’s leaves. You can…

Autopilot Kindness
If you are offered the opportunity to be kind and you hesitate, figure out why. Is the human in front of you different than you?

Change is a Good Thing
Somethings are changing in my life. Not big things but many small things. I am holding the idea that these changes are positive. I am considering all the things that could happen and choosing not to dwell on the what ifs that would not be positive. My day to day will look, feel and be…

Little Happy Things
It really doesn’t take much to make me happy. I like hot showers with sweet-smelling shampoo. I like to put things down and it is there when I go back to pick it up. I like it when my husband and I sit across a table from each other, even when we are working on…

It Is a Good Thing I don’t Believe in Luck
I got a great new shower head for our master bath. You know the kind with seven different spray patterns and a long hose. My husband installed it for me, without me even mentioning it. I get home from work, ready to have a nice long hot shower only to find out the electricity to…
