I am sitting at the travel clinic hoping the soreness of my arms from my Thailand immunizations subsides before I have to drive. As I wait to make sure I have no allergic reaction, I ponder the fact that this is the only day I could get an appointment. This day is exactly 7 years … Continue reading Seven Years
Standing in the Valley of Dry Bones
I must confess that I am glad to see 2013 go. It was not the best of years for me, in fact it was quite the opposite…one of the worst I have had in a while. The reasons are too numerous and boring to mention here, so let’s just say I am looking forward to … Continue reading Standing in the Valley of Dry Bones

What’s Your Excuse?
Since I had cancer I have had a life motto. It is… Live Fully! It means to take each day and live it as if it is your last. Not to put things off until someday…after you retire…when you have more money…or when you have more time...when the kids are grown…when you finish school…when you … Continue reading What’s Your Excuse?

But even the frigid temps could not diminish the warmth in my heart. Aaron graduated from Belmont University with a business degree in … Continue reading Freeze Frame

The Abominable Snowman
I have dry skin. Always have. This was a blessing in the acne-prone teenage years. Rarely a zit. It made my some of my friends a bit envious that I was mostly clear as they were regularly having their faces blasted with dry ice. I waited for the inevitable pubescent oil to appear but it … Continue reading The Abominable Snowman
Sharing Christmas
I was going to decorate for Christmas today. I do it the week of Thanksgiving because that is the week I have off, not because I particularly like being decorated a month early. I got up and decided to read instead. Then I wrote, then I napped, and cooked, and did a bit of laundry, … Continue reading Sharing Christmas
