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 […]

Lift shifting…

We have all had things happen that changed our lives for better or worse.  Birth of a child, death of a loved one, landing that perfect job, moving to a new home, etc.  Maybe you didn’t actually FEEL like your life was shifting, but it was. I have felt it several times starting with my […]

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 […]

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 […]

That whole Universe thing…

I can’t seem to find a quote that fits so you are stuck with a flower pic from today’s stroll through the gardens.  Yes, I was sorta practicing with my camera – which I hadn’t used for at least a year – for the upcoming vacation. Anyway, where was I?  Oh yeah, the Universe.  There […]

Dreams vs Real Life

So.  Here we are. Anyone who has been around me for more than, say, a day knows I hate my job.  Wait, not the job really.  I hate my career.  Always have, likely always will.  It’s not necessarily the company I work for, IT IS THE JOB.  And for whatever reason, it is worse than […]

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 […]

Full speed ahead….

So where was I?  Oh yeah, deciding on the vacation. Well, I am going!  Threw caution to the wind and decided to just GO.  No regrets yet lol.  Airfare is booked, passport has been renewed, and final payment made on Friday.  All I need to do now is show up on May 16. The kitchen […]
