Living In The Past – Voluntary? Or Not?

You’ve all heard the saying “Living in the past”. You’ve also been told that it’s your CHOICE whether you live in said past. W-E-L-L?! Maybe 90% of the time it IS your choice. But what about this other 10% that I’m talking about? Hang on to something, you’re about to get an answer – whetherContinue reading “Living In The Past – Voluntary? Or Not?”

“Maybe It’s Not About Me”

Where we’ve all been told at one time or another that “maybe it just isn’t about you” or, we might even have said the same words to ourselves. There might be something in the following poem that you may recognize within yourselves – whatever season of life you may be in. As a small childContinue reading ““Maybe It’s Not About Me””

Something To Strive For

I saw a quote this morning that really got me thinking. (Yes, I DO think – occassionally!) This quote is by an Unkown Author and goes like this: “Live your best, act your best, and think your best each day, for there may be no tomorrows.” Quite the twist on the usual “Eat, drink, andContinue reading “Something To Strive For”

This Blessed Season of Contradictions: Part One

How can I call the Christmas Season a Season of contradictions? There are s-o-o-o many people that suffer through this Season.

I’m talking about the people thatContinue reading “This Blessed Season of Contradictions: Part One”

Internal Dialogue

As I looked back to see when my last Post was, shamefacedly I realize it’s been TWENTY DAYS!! That has to be THE longest I’ve been away from here. I should have guessed when I opened the App and it asked me to log in again!! How dare I?!?!? This leads in nicely to tonight’sContinue reading “Internal Dialogue”

Falling Asleep Where?!?!

O.K. Tonight’s Blog is going to be an awkward one to say the least – and a somewhat silly one. Have you ever wondered if anyone else fell asleep in some of the same places and/or positions as you yourself have? Not to mention at THE oddest, most awkward moments to let out a snortContinue reading “Falling Asleep Where?!?!”
