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

The Miracle of Life

A River of Words
It seems to me there are a lot of words floating around that bring negativity these days. The political and economic climate is affecting everything else, and the words spoken are an indicator of where things stand. What I mean by that is that the words we speak can lift up or tear down. They … Continue reading A River of Words
A New Definition
The official definition of a veteran is someone who served their country in the armed services. However, I think this definition is lacking something significant. Heart. It does not express the sacrifices service men and women make. It does not demonstrate their love for country. It does not reveal their dedication to serving citizens, or … Continue reading A New Definition

World Geography
I never had geography in school. I am not sure how that happened exactly, but I hardly noticed. In fact, because I was not at all interested in anything outside my own world, I was thrilled that somehow I had escaped the torture of reading a world map. Honestly, for many of my childhood years, … Continue reading World Geography
