Mercury in retrograde. What? Have you heard of this phenomenon? I have and I have been blaming it for everything lately. Dropping things. Turning over two very expensive gallons of paint that spilled nearly completely on my newly painted garage floor. Frustration. The underlying boil of anxiety. Must be Mercury’s fault. IIIIIII don’t know. AmContinue reading “Real Reality”

Growth Alone
Fifty one years. I feel like I’ve been trying to understand life for 51 years. Do we ever, really? I’m always seeking that one person who can define it or sum it up in few enough words to actually hold my attention. I will say that age brings something. I’m not sure if it’s wisdomContinue reading “Growth Alone”
One Thing Leads to the Next
Today is good Friday. Today I awoke again resurfacing from a dream with my Linda. It has stayed constant with me all day. I cannot shake the feeling it left with me. How strange are dreams that allow us these visitations and impart with us questions of what they mean. Am I left with theseContinue reading “One Thing Leads to the Next”
Why Now, Achilles?
Recently we have been faced with more mountains to climb. My family lost a great son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend. Quite unexpectedly as he is too young and healthy to have been taken from us like that. His light was too good and pure. How can this possibly be? Another moment so glaringly outContinue reading “Why Now, Achilles?”
One Drop of Goodness
I want to tell you a story about mending fences. It’s a story directly about my Linda. If you think one person cannot change the world, you are wrong. He could. And he did. I cannot begin to imagine the number of lives he touched or changed for the better but I can tell youContinue reading “One Drop of Goodness”
The Reason
Twas the night before Christmas eve… and all through the house… not a creature was stirring except 3 Danes, a redbone hound lab and some kind of husky pittie mix. That’s all I got. I can still hear my Granddad reading that story as my mother recorded it for us so long ago. I’m notContinue reading “The Reason”
Faith & Excellence
Post 18 Good evening friends! I’ve had a slight awakening and I want to share! I mentioned that I have been having quite the self isolation thing going on lately. I’m not sure what is happening or going on but tonight I had a little revelation. What if… I’m cocooning? Upon having this thought IContinue reading “Faith & Excellence”
Blueprints
POST 17 So often I want to write something encouraging that is equivalent to posting puppies and babies on social media but the problem here is that these are my thoughts and they are not often reflective of such beauty and happiness. I come here to let out the things that I am grieving. ItContinue reading “Blueprints”
What’s Actually In The Mirror?
Post 16. Self reflection? Self explanation? Mom said there’d be days, right? My friends. My family. I don’t know about you… but I’m struggling. Everywhere I turn I’m struggling. I cannot find solace. I pray. I pray more. I try to be busy. I try to rest. I try to be with a few people.Continue reading “What’s Actually In The Mirror?”
I Just Hate Lemonade
Post 15 Just when I think that my writing is of no use, someone mentions it and I become inspired to continue. I write to release the tangles of knots that build up inside daily. I run from these tangles and just like when I wind up the cord on my hairdryer each time, somehowContinue reading “I Just Hate Lemonade”
