I was asked the question, “Are you happy?” and I replied, “Of course, I am!” I took a second and replied again, “I might not be too happy with my job at the moment but I’m still happy.” No, that didn’t fly either. So how do I know I’m happy if I’m not happy with […]
This question hit me the other day when I was thinking about if I feel like an adult. I know, I know, I have a job, own a home, am responsible for taking care of it, and I raised a daughter who is now an adult, so that should make me feel like an adult, […]
It seems so easy to cast a judging eye, doesn’t it? When I think of a judgy person, I might conjure up an image of an uppity woman putting her nose up at the plumber fixing her water heater or the passerby in the restaurant she’s eating at. But then I’m no better […]
My cousin and his wife went to see Coldplay in concert. He texted me a few videos and wrote, “Great show, you feel good after.” The videos showed people tossing around large beach balls and singing along with the band. It looked like a lot of fun!

Of course, I knew veterans were men and women who defended our country in the military, but they had no relevance in my life until I experienced those funerals. When my elderly cousin had died, men in military uniforms had shown […]
I started this website with the intention of sharing information like millions of other blogs. I had grand ideas in a binder and was excited to begin. That lasted a short time and then I let life get in the way. Or did it? Was it something else that caused me to not take my […]
As a child, I was extremely curious. I wanted to know why things were the way they were. I asked a lot of questions but didn’t always get truthful answers. I first began to critically examine the traditional beliefs I had, (and had taken for granted) when I was in my twenties. I found […]
I fondly remember a time when I used to play, have fun, enjoy life, and make happy memories. It wasn’t that long ago, so what happened? Sure, the more responsibility we have to tackle, the more we can feel overburdened where we forget to take a break and enjoy a pleasant moment. We are the […]
