Healing
Last weekend I spent some time with my brother. It was his birthday. I have not seen him in months. This is the type of relationship we have. Well, for now. I spent time talking to his wife, who I seemed to grow up with. We spent time being new moms together when these grownups […]

Keep going
I sat on the couch in the home of my 8th grade English teacher. This was the second visit in the last few months with her. We sat and talked and watched one of her favorite shows she found on television. Her fiesty comments reminded me of sitting in her class so many years ago. […]

Defeated
Yesterday I went to the long awaited appointment to get some help for my hip pain. It “should” help you right away. Good, because I have to return to work and walking is a huge part of what I do. Well, this morning at 4am when I had to go to use the restroom, the […]

Legacy
I am a very simple woman. The pocessions of all my things can fit into two car loads. I do not need much, nor do I require much. Simple life. After a very complicated life. I need the simpleness. To be able to sit with myself and be okay. With that being said, I think […]

Wishing I didn’t feel so much

Like
With all the things that I write about. I think it is time to write about things that I like about myself. Maybe it sounds conceited. I do not know. I feel led to build up what needs to be built up. It is all done with the hope that someone else will do the […]

Grief
People say that you have to go through the process of grief to fully get through the healing process. I can see how that would be true. You have to grieve the loss of the life you thought you would have. The grief of how you were treated and what you tolerated. The grief of […]

Lavendar and Milkweed
I was on my long walk this morning with my dog. I saw milkweed and lavendar planted at several different houses. If I could have just sat down and cried, I would have. I had a huge lavendar plant outside my bedroom in the last house I lived in as a married woman. I also […]

Life and thoughts
Hello and good afternoon. It is a lazy Sunday afternoon and I am at a coffee like house and I sit and listen to the music playing. Very jazz and very mellow. I would like to think that this is how my life has merged into. Mellow. The craziness of the world and what I […]
