Robins waiting for a bath! It is spring in central Florida. Actually, it has been for two or three weeks, that is how long the Robins have been here. We have hundreds of them in the neighborhood, and frequently tens of them waiting in non- ending rows for a turn at the birdbath. I likeContinue reading “Spring Again!”

Happy Valentines Day! For all our valentines, our spouses, lovers, friends, parents, or children, let us tell them that we love them today, and at every opportunity. The loves in our lives are what makes everything worthwhile; and although this seems rote, we must not take them for granted. We never know when our lastContinue reading “My Valentine”
Striving to be Fearless!
Me without my makeup! Hello Friends! I cannot believe that it is February, already! But what a winter it has been! I can’t complain, as I’ve been cocooned in Florida for most of it.

Magnolia’s Birthday
Contemplating the snow! Today is my sweet dog, Magnolia’s birthday. She is 6 years in people years, and 36 years in dog years. If she didn’t have those white whiskers, you couldn’t tell. I have had many wonderful moments with this dog. She is a lover and a cuddler. I can’t imagine a truer companion.Continue reading “Magnolia’s Birthday”
ACCEPTANCE
SNOWED IN IN NC! It was a beautiful snow–for about 3 days. Unfortunately, we were unable to get out for 5 days. Except on foot to the neighbors, and walking about in the snow. We had plenty of food, so no complaints there. Our power went out Christmas afternoon, and we were not able toContinue reading “ACCEPTANCE”
The Power of Prayer
As always, at this time of year, I am reminded to count my blessings, as so many in this world have nothing to count. It is hard to imagine, from my vantage point what having nothing would be like. I only know that I do not really want to find out. This brings me toContinue reading “The Power of Prayer”
We Gather Together!
FOR TURKEY–ETC, ETC! But seriously, folks, this is the beginning of the season we love so much, because it involves being with our loved ones (and eating!). It is a wonderful time of the year. In keeping with the season, it is time to look introspectively and count our many blessings. In a state ofContinue reading “We Gather Together!”
All Hallows Eve–Beware!
My Other Broom is a Car! Actually, the car is in the shop due to mine being rear ended Tuesday evening. I’m fine–just some sore muscles, neck, back–but fine! I got a rental yesterday and am loving the freedom of driving. I wish I did have a broom, it would have come in handy! IContinue reading “All Hallows Eve–Beware!”
Leaftopia
Magnolia and the Fall Leaves What an awe-inspiring time of the year! I know that I am very blessed to be able to retreat to the mountains of western North Carolina and feast my eyes on the foliage. We had a nice trip; but, busier than we anticipated being. We did remember to relax aContinue reading “Leaftopia”
Autumn Is In The Air!
Oh Those Lovely Leaves! They are so vivid, yet so fleeting. The foliage and the chill in the air combine to make autumn is my favorite time of year. Later this week, I am coming up to enjoy the coolness, drink in the beauty, and relax, perchance to write. I am imagining my favorite perchContinue reading “Autumn Is In The Air!”
This Is Your Brain On Menopause
There it is! I knew I left it some place! Seriously, sometimes I do wonder if I have one! I love to whistle that tune, “If I Only Had a Brain” from the Wizard of Oz. Menopause does come with some cognitive problems. Some of these are related to having less estrogen; some of themContinue reading “This Is Your Brain On Menopause”
GOOD VS BAD PROCRASTINATION?
My Friend Marion Pretending to Procrastinate! It is amazing to me how quickly technology can squash you. I am rewriting this blog post due to the beastie below. He quite literally ate my text! Here I was waxing profusely about writing an article about procrastination that was keeping me from working (i.e. procrastinating ) onContinue reading “GOOD VS BAD PROCRASTINATION?”
