With a smile on your faceYou meet and greet and talk.While deep inside you’re running,It’s not just a simple walk.With hidden fear, you retreat behind a wall;As you beg and you plead, “Don’t let them see my teardrops begin to fall.” The smile remains, and with a laugh or two,The joking manner somehow does overtake.AContinue reading “TEARDROPS”

“If I Knew Then What I Know Now”
I’m back! After repeatedly getting a blank page – both literally and figuratively – I’m back to my state of information overload. How many times have you said the above phrase to yourself? In fairness, you have to be middle-age and/or hitting the senior mark to really know what the phrase actually means. No, I’mContinue reading ““If I Knew Then What I Know Now””
“You’re Just In A Bad Mood” – NOT!
Have you every been told that? Or maybe the one where you’re told to “just get over it”, how about that one? Or the one where people tell you to “just snap out of it” and/or “it will pass”. After hearing one or more of these, how many of you wanted to punch the personContinue reading ““You’re Just In A Bad Mood” – NOT!”
Nothing Has Really Changed
Hello, again – after a bit of a break. Have you wondered what we would be talking about if this virus wasn’t happening? You guessed it. Today’s article is about Covid-19. I think that this bears mentioning, even if it is repeating what should be the obvious. I might sound a mite “miffed” in thisContinue reading “Nothing Has Really Changed”
Walls or Bridges
Another lengthy article, but again, I think this just might be another one worth reading. I was reminded the other day about the difference between building walls and building bridges – beyond the obvious, of course. We can all see the physical differences, of course. You build a wall, you try to go through itContinue reading “Walls or Bridges”
Isn’t This BACKWARDS?!
I wrote in the article “Another Side Effect of Covid-19” about how you might be feeling claustrophobic and more than a little agitated in this day and age of requiring to stay indoors; not being able to even visit a neighbour; and the unbelievable changes in ordinary tasks – like going grocery shopping and goingContinue reading “Isn’t This BACKWARDS?!”
Forgiveness
This is a lengthier post than usual, but I think it’s worth the read. All of us at some point or another have been on this journey, or are still on it. Be assured, I belong to both categories – having completed one journey while still trying to complete other journeys. Unfortunately, there are moreContinue reading “Forgiveness”
The Other Unsung Heroes
With provinces and countries now relaxing restrictions, and trying to create that “new normal” that everyone has been talking about, we still need to be grateful of all the people who have been – and still are – working on the so-called “front lines”. However, in all the mentioning of these workers – doctors, nurses,Continue reading “The Other Unsung Heroes”
The Person Within
Everyone has heard the saying “beauty is only skin deep”, which implies that how a person looks is just “surface” and therefore we should see beyond the surface beauty and/or “plain-Jane” looks. Well, there is another “surface sight” if-you-will, that is prone to snap judgements and mis-judgements. “What have we missed now?” you might beContinue reading “The Person Within”
“Mothers” Part Three
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 ““Mothers” Part Three”
