The sometimes crazy road from here to there

Some thoughts…

It’s been a while…again…since I have been here. I didn’t include a picture this time because it just a pain in the you know what to add one. The software has been updated multiple times and allegedly “improved”. Maybe. But for those of us who just want to come by for a ramble, it takes […]

That Voice of Doubt

So, it’s been a long while since I dropped by here.  A very long while.  Not exactly sure why that is, maybe I just lacked inspiration. It was a busy, but mostly good year.  Said hello to a grand nephew but had to say goodbye to my beloved dog, Chance. And I struggled with anxiety […]

Where does the time go?

How can it already be the middle of December?  It seems like it was just spring a minute ago.  Another roller coaster year is almost in the books.  Wow. Last I was here, I was struggling with anxiety issues.  Happy to report that has eased a bit and not a moment too soon.  I finally […]

Make a difference, big or small

https://www.flickr.com/photos/131662339@N07/37539246272/in/datetaken-public/ So we’ll take a break from the depressing posts about anxiety issues and chat about something different, though related. After the first two “clean” CT scans, I realized I had been given an amazing gift – a second chance at life of sorts.  While this is thrilling and positive, it comes with a bit […]

Progress is being made

https://www.flickr.com/photos/131662339@N07/24122522368/in/datetaken-public/ So, trying something new with adding images.  Not perfect but a compromise.  Pretty orchid, no? After writing the “woe is me” post last week I figured it was time to save myself.  Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference.  I started listening to relaxation / meditation music before falling asleep.  I took some […]

By way of update…..

OMG, it’s been SIX MONTHS since I have been here!  That’s just not right.  And the site is giving me all sorts of trouble when I try to upload a pic.  sigh….. So, it’s been interesting, not exactly sure where to begin. Trip to Europe (Rhine River cruise) was a success.  River cruising is different […]

What are you afraid of?

I did a good deed yesterday, one that should have brought out warm and fuzzy feelings.  Should have. The MIL was in Florida for the winter months, same as she has done for as long as I can remember.  She and her husband wintered in Florida for decades prior to his passing away.  MIL continued […]

Emotionally messed up days…

I rarely admit to being messed up in the head lol.  But seriously, the past few weeks have been a bit of a mess emotionally. I will admit to being angry, frustrated, and anxious.  And maybe a bit depressed.  Not really a good mixture no matter how you look at it.  I’m not sure which […]

Ups and downs of life

So this quote pretty much sums up the past year – aside from the mothers arms thing because that is no longer an option for me.  At least in the literal sense.  More on that in a bit. It has been a rocky two weeks but I think some of the drama is over for […]

So many curve balls…

Hold on tight, we’re gonna be going on a roller coaster ride here. So you might recall a post from earlier in November – Internal Fearmongering for those who need a refresher – about the most dreaded doctor visit.  Well, what I failed to chat about here was the series of tests and exams that came […]
