I don’t want to be one of those people who speak about the “good old days,” but in this situation, I think it applies. What I mean by the “good old days” is a time in our lives when we spoke to people either face to face or over the telephone. In both instances, we […]
Do you remember when we were kids and made our Christmas list weeks before Christmas or were out of school for the summer? Time seemed to last forever. It did for me. I wondered why, as an adult, I feel like time moves so quickly. I had to find out why. The first thing […]
Do you ever feel like there are never enough hours in a day to get all the things you want to get done, done? I used to feel that way and knew I had to figure out how to gain control over my time. When you feel like the days fly by, and there’s not […]
Well, I found out that enough is enough the hard way. While sitting in a packed emergency room, I pondered why did it happen? I wondered, are we capable of bringing negative things to our lives, like getting hurt or having an accident? And the idea for this post was born. If you were lucky […]
I worked in a Wicks ‘n’ Sticks candle shop (I don’t know if they are open anymore.) and loved the smells in it. There was this one scent I was gaga over and I never knew exactly what candle it came from. I bought several candle votives and tried them and while they were very […]
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! Concertgoers wore light-up bracelets controlled by the band […]
When I used to work outside the house in an office, a cleaning staff dusted the desk and other surfaces, swept the floors, vacuumed, and took out the trash. My job was to go to that office and do the work I got hired to do. I didn’t have to think about cleaning or fixing […]
