Mother’s Day 2022 Part Two

For everyone with a mother’s heart. The smiles and the laughter, the sighs and the tears,Reveal the hope and the love, anxiety and fears.Can one woman feel all this and moreFor the one tiny being that her body bore? Beneath her heart this miracle did grow,Causing the highest of high and the lowest of low.TheContinue reading “Mother’s Day 2022 Part Two”

Mother’s Day 2022 Part One

Today, being Mother’s Day, brings bittersweet thoughts and memories. I published this poem once before, but it seems to be appropriate to do so again, seeing what day it is. The most unselfish gift a mother can give their child is a home of safety, of love, of sacrifice. Sometimes that sacrifice comes in theContinue reading “Mother’s Day 2022 Part One”

WOW! There May Be Hope for the Human Race After All

Yes, you read that right. Among the trials and stresses and protests and restrictions, I found a family – or rather, they found me – that came to the rescue to someone in need (namely myself!). A week ago (Friday, September 10, 2021) I was on my way to the lab not far from myContinue reading “WOW! There May Be Hope for the Human Race After All”

WE’RE FREE!!! But Do We Remember How?!?!

After another dry spell with my writing, I just have to post something about the return to life!! I’m not saying return to life “as we know it” because that life I’m afraid is really and truly behind us and not coming back. But with the vaccinations and still monitoring mask-wearing and distancing, we areContinue reading “WE’RE FREE!!! But Do We Remember How?!?!”

Look! Do You See Them? The Quiet Helpers

This Post is in recognition of those people that seem to fall between the cracks. I’m not talking about the obvious helpers like first responders, doctors, nurses, etc. Although they DO deserve our thanks and our recognition. I’m talking about the person that is quietly in your life, helping you and/or others out, and theyContinue reading “Look! Do You See Them? The Quiet Helpers”

Are We Really That Bad? The Loss of Common Courtesy and Decency

This article will be a bit of a rant. I have said for quite some time now – years in fact – that there are two things that really don’t exist anymore in this world: common courtesy, and common sense. I want to focus on common courtesy today, but there is an incredible amount toContinue reading “Are We Really That Bad? The Loss of Common Courtesy and Decency”

Mother’s Day 2021 (Part One)

Hello to everyone and Happy Mother’s Day. This is the second Mother’s Day amidst this totally tiresome, extremely frustrating, and completely nerve racking pandemic. Who would have thought last year that we would still be within the clutches of Covid-19? Mother’s Day is suppose to be where we honour the woman who bore us and/orContinue reading “Mother’s Day 2021 (Part One)”

“No, It’s Not In My Head!” Suffering From Chronic Pain

Hello, again, everyone. After too much of a break, here I am again. A question before launching into my article: How many of you get a strange look when you try to tell someone you’re in pain? Especially if there is no outward sign emphasizing it. What do I mean by that? Read on. AnyoneContinue reading ““No, It’s Not In My Head!” Suffering From Chronic Pain”
