Good . . . Bad . . .

It’s raining today.  There’s no big storm, the rain isn’t pounding against my window; it’s just a grey day.  Most of us would classify this day as dreary, gloomy and/or a little depressing.  We long for the sun; we ache for blue skies and radiating warmth.  I have a friend

Making Soup

Yesterday was a play day.  My little buddy Bobby came over. Bobby is 2, with a quick smile that lights up his face, tons of energy, and an easy-going attitude.  When Bobby comes to my house, he makes soup.  Soup is evidently a very difficult thing to create.  It takes

I want a cookie!

I just need to say it out loud.  I want a cookie.  I don’t need a cookie.  I’m not hungry.  I’ve already had two cookies.  I still want another cookie, and probably another cookie, and probably another.  I am aware that this is not a healthy choice.  If I was

Take Another Step

Have you ever listened to a song, and it just resonates somehow with you? I’ve recently become enamored with a song by Steven Curtis Chapman from his latest project, Glorious Unfolding.  I am partially drawn to this song because it tells a story and I’m a “story girl.”  The music

Living Like Ugly Betty

Lost in Brogan

I went to Brogan today.  Never been there?  I’ve now been there, and I’m not sure I’ve been there! It’s a quick little stop in the road, with a strong emphasis on ‘QUICK!’ I had an appointment with a friend in Brogan, and, basically, I couldn’t find her house.  Brogan

I’ve recently had one of those experiences that left me feeling inadequate.  It probably shouldn’t have left me feeling that way, but I let my impressions of others, and what I thought they might think of me take center stage. My emotion wasn’t based on reality, just a perception that

My daughter is getting married.  I’ve said the phrase, I’ve thought the phrase, I LIVE with the phrase since my days are filled with lists of wedding things to do.  But typing the phrase, letting the phrase truly sink in, is a different story. When my sweet girl was a

A Lesson from My Coffee Cup

The other morning I was up early, really early for me.  I was very tired and knew I needed copious amounts of my delicious morning elixir.  I filled my pink travel coffee mug, screwed the lid on and somewhat blindly headed out the door.  I sipped and sipped from my cup

I’ve decided to blog again!

Hello!  Let me introduce myself….. Since it’s been so long since blogging, I feel as if I need to clarify who I am!  No, I haven’t changed and I haven’t been doing some secret makeover. I’ve had plenty to say, I’ve just been lazy.  Yup, there you have it, the
