Good day. I wish you a good mood. (Hehe) If you’ve been following my blog, that might bring a chuckle. I hope so. I created this title to get your attention, but it’s also the topic. (I’m not such a shmuck to use an attention-grabbing title to lure you into a piece about how we […]
My 2023 word for the year is balance. I chose this word because I have felt out of kilter for some time. This morning I allowed myself time to lay in bed and ponder stuff. I was in no hurry to get out and begin the day doing this or that. I just wanted […]
When was the last time you thought, I am so thankful for ________? No, really, listen to yourself speak for the next day or so. It’s just one day.

While watching a YouTube video for making vegetable soup, I saw the words “I Wish You a Good Mood” and thought, that’s a nice thing to read. It’s different. Maybe it’s a German-English translation for “Have a nice day” because I think the woman doing the videos is German. But, you know me, always thinking, […]
