Is It Too Late?
I understand it’s not accessible to all. The message is: “When I was 9, I prayed to God that my life would not be too ‘normal’ or boring. Now that i’m 66, I wonder if it’s too late to take that back.”
Read MoreI Did a Thing…
The rut of waiting on medical tests and future appointments compelled me to do something drastic… …so I jumped onto Tik Tok and started posting videos. Seemed pretty innocuous at first. I only had a handful of followers. My two daughters and one grandchild. A couple of friends, and some unknowns. I had no intention […]
Read MoreMonochrome Day
Trying to muster up enthusiasm for holiday gatherings, but it’s no where to be found. What has helped me get inspired in the past, I wonder. The first thing that comes to mind is snow. There is something festive about waking up to that initial dusting of white. Today, however; the bareness of the trees […]

Still consumed with tests and medical appointments. Thought we had come to resolution on one issue, but the treatment didn’t work, and so we start again with another biopsy. Likely as frustrated as me, the doctor is now pointing fingers at other medications as being the culprit. Trouble is that I need those treatments to […]

Now that it’s dark early, putting the dogs out for their last ‘duty’ of the day, means taking extra precautions. We are always on the lookout for skunks, raccoons, possums, foxes, or even coyotes, as our backyard, unfenced, opens up to woods and farmland. The other night, I opened the door, made my usual noises […]

Skies are moody things-here above open water emotions on display (Photos from our recent trip to Nova Scotia. The first photo was taken en route to Lunenberg, and then second overlooking Oak Island. If any of you watch The Curse of Oak Island, yes, it’s that one. Appropriately ominous clouds set the stage. Thanks Hammad […]

“Let’s just talk about what is relevant here.” I nod as the doctor peruses my list of diagnoses and symptoms. It’s lengthy, I admit, but how am I to know what relates and what doesn’t? Isn’t it all a part of the whole? I’ve waited almost two years for this appointment, although he tells me […]
Read MoreCommunity
I love my solitude. The silence of my alone time allows me to plunge into creativity. Some days I feel as if I might submerge and never reappear… I suspect I suffer from social anxiety, and when I am able to recognize it for what it is and step over the fear, I often discover […]
