I’m back! And it looks like I lost a few of you after part three. That’s ok. I know my latest posts have resembled ‘lectures’ so I get it. I don’t like getting lectured to either. It isn’t easy trying to ‘spread the word’ without coming off like a professor giving a lecture in classContinue reading “December 11, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART FIVE)”

December 10, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART FOUR)
Welcome back! Good to see you again! Hey, there’s something I have to share real quick before I get today’s blog underway. This afternoon, when I was eating my lunch while seated at the kitchen table, I looked out the glass slider that leads to our backyard and guess what I saw clinging to theContinue reading “December 10, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART FOUR)”
December 9, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART THREE)
Hello again, my friends! Oh my goodness, all day long I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out what to talk about first. I thought about starting small and then going big, such as starting out with things you can do within your own household before you turn your attention to your community orContinue reading “December 9, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART THREE)”
December 8, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART TWO).
Hello again! Back for more? You must be a glutton for punishment!! Anyway, where did I leave off? I think I was almost to the part where I was going to ask everyone to join hands and sing “Kumbaya” but I didn’t quite make it. No, I would never ask you to do that. That’sContinue reading “December 8, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART TWO).”
December 7, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART ONE).
There is something about helping people that I find particularly gratifying. And today, I got an opportunity to do just that. It wasn’t a big deal. Just after I left my house to walk the dog and rounded the corner, a white sedan pulled up right alongside me. I glanced over and saw it wasContinue reading “December 7, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART ONE).”
December 6, 2020 – Struggling with low self-esteem.
My husband looked at me quizzically the other day and gently asked, “What’s with all of the ‘dumb’ and ‘stupid’?” I hadn’t realized I was using those words so frequently but apparently I had. Usually I keep them locked away in my brain and they tumble around like rocks in a clothes dryer but IContinue reading “December 6, 2020 – Struggling with low self-esteem.”
December 5, 2020 – The advantages to growing up ‘poor’.
I’ve talked a bit about growing up ‘poor’ and how that experience left me with a certain ‘mindset’. I have a hard time trusting ‘good fortune’ when it knocks at my door because it seems to have such a short lifespan. And growing up ‘poor’ has also made me think a great deal about theContinue reading “December 5, 2020 – The advantages to growing up ‘poor’.”
December 4, 2020 – Cherry season is the ‘pits’!
There’s a part of me that’s actually grateful I was laid off because there were certain aspects to the job that I had that were particularly unappetizing. I worked in a facility that provided activities for seniors. They had exercise programs and games as well as knitting and crafts and such. They also served lunchContinue reading “December 4, 2020 – Cherry season is the ‘pits’!”
December 3, 2020 – Rebel Without a Cause
I got yelled at today. I hate getting yelled at. It makes me feel like a child. But I brought it on myself. I insisted on walking down a trail with my dog even though it said the trail was closed. It actually said ‘Road Closed’ but that’s beside the point. I saw the signContinue reading “December 3, 2020 – Rebel Without a Cause”
December 2, 2020 – Life Themes (Poverty)
I’ve often wondered what it must be like to be ‘born with a silver spoon’ in your mouth. I cannot begin to imagine it. It seems like such a foreign concept. Living a life of luxury and not having to constantly review the balance in your checking account to make sure you’ve got enough toContinue reading “December 2, 2020 – Life Themes (Poverty)”
