I’m funny. No, seriously, I’m a funny person. I may come off as serious and deep, which I am, but I’m also a funny character. I’ve made funny comments to people, like a cashier, for example, who either didn’t get my humor or didn’t compute it because they were off somewhere else in their head. […]
You never know what you could accomplish when you get rid of all the noise. The noise I’m referring to is pretty much anything that doesn’t bring you joy and happiness. This is our life. So why don’t we aspire to have a great life? Who told us we had to live meager and small? […]
Are you like me and put way too many things on the daily to-do list? Drinking caffeine to keep up the energy? I hope not. It’s overwhelming! Why do I choose to do that to myself? I had to ask myself that question recently when I realized I was cramming in too many things and […]
If someone should ask what are the three things we need, most people would answer water, food, and companionship. But for this post, I’m creating a slightly different list. For the first thing, I’m lumping in water and food together as life-sustaining things we need to survive. The second thing […]
A mother is someone who cares because she wants to; she loves with all her heart through and through. Her child can leave and move on through life, but she’s always ready to be there by their side. A mother wants to know what their child likes, is blue their favorite color or is it […]
Two words have caused me great anxiety: what if? What if there’s too much traffic? What if the water heater warranty expires? What if I take this job and it doesn’t work out? On and on and on. But I never thought that I could use the words what if for positive thinking too, like […]
I found out I have a fatty liver after my car accident, and I had a full-body CT scan. I had no idea what it was; my primary care doctor never explained it. So I did the next best thing and asked Dr. Google for the answers. It never disappoints. On Youtube, I found Dr. Eric […]
Did you hear the expression, When the student is ready, the teacher will appear? I feel like there are a lot of teachers in our lives teaching us lessons. And I don’t mean in school. A few weeks ago, I elected to take a bus to Scranton for an appointment to check it out. I’d […]
Most people aren’t living. They react to life. I thought about this and knew I wasn’t living much, either. I was reacting to life and allowing the past to infiltrate my present, repeatedly causing me the same damn pain! Why would I or anyone do that? For me, and maybe for others, too, I’ve been […]
I began smoking at 15, I think. Peer pressure. Bullying. I got hooked. Years later, when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, the doctor asked if I smoked. I said yes. He said to throw them away and quit. I told him I would, but he forced me to throw the cigarettes […]
