My life has been in a constant state of transition since my transplant. I am trying to do better and be better and not merely ‘exist’ any longer. The thing is, ‘existing’ is easy. It requires very little effort. Before my transplant, a typical day consisted of going through the motions, eating, sleeping, ‘waste’ management,Continue reading “February 18, 2021 – Change is hard!”

February 17, 2021 – Excuses, excuses.
Alright, my friends, I have decided it’s time to stop making excuses. As hard as it is for me to step up and agree to participate in something, I am actually going to say ‘yes’ this time. Right now, I rarely leave the house and unfortunately, I’m beginning to prefer being home to being ‘outContinue reading “February 17, 2021 – Excuses, excuses.”
February 16, 2021 – The advantages of owning a used car.
Do you own a used car and it’s still got a little ‘life’ left in it? Do yourself a favor, unless you’re taking it to the shop continuously for repairs, hang onto that gem! Yes, there are serious incentives to purchasing new vehicles. When you drive a new vehicle off the lot, what a rush!Continue reading “February 16, 2021 – The advantages of owning a used car.”
February 15, 2021 – When things don’t go as planned.
As some of you may know by now, sometimes my big mouth gets me into trouble. I like to refer to it as ‘open mouth, insert foot disease’. If I didn’t have a big brother that also suffers from this ‘condition’, I imagine I’d feel pretty alone in the world; however, because I do, I’mContinue reading “February 15, 2021 – When things don’t go as planned.”
February 14, 2021 – Entitlement
I’m talking about a rather ambivalent word today, ‘Entitlement’. One way to define it is ‘having a right to something’. I have no problem with that; that’s a good thing. We all have a right to certain things. According to the International Bill of Rights, each and every human on this planet has 1) TheContinue reading “February 14, 2021 – Entitlement”
February 13, 2021 – Natural Born Prankster
We all need levity once in a while, especially at work. Day after day, we spend hours alongside our coworkers, working side-by-side on an assortment of tasks or projects in order to earn a living. Often what we do is physically exhausting or mentally exhausting and sometimes both. I’ve been fortunate throughout my life becauseContinue reading “February 13, 2021 – Natural Born Prankster”
February 12, 2021 – All Creatures Great and Small
I think I made a terrible mistake! The last two days have gotten so cold that all of the syrup has frozen solid in the hummingbird feeders that I have dispersed throughout my yard. I keep bringing them inside until the syrup turns from a solid to a liquid but it’s below 20 degrees todayContinue reading “February 12, 2021 – All Creatures Great and Small”
February 11, 2021 – No muss, no fuss.
My friends, it’s a good thing I was sitting down when I called the local dry cleaner to find out 1) whether my curtain panels were ready, and 2) what the total cost was for the service. Holy smokes! “$39.06,” answered the gal who took the call, to which I incredulously replied, “$39.06, for twoContinue reading “February 11, 2021 – No muss, no fuss.”
February 10, 2021 – Wily Fox
Have you ever considered what key ingredients you would include if you had to write out a recipe for a successful relationship? If I were to do so, the main ingredient would be ‘trust’. I’d also throw in common interests, loyalty and mutual respect, but without ‘trust’, the whole thing’s going to fall apart atContinue reading “February 10, 2021 – Wily Fox”
February 9, 2021 – Memory Loss
Have you ever thought about how much our brains are like toilets? Hang on, hang on. Don’t give up on me so easily, I think I have a valid point. What I’m trying to say is, just like a toilet, you fill up your brain with a bunch of ‘crap’, and then with one quickContinue reading “February 9, 2021 – Memory Loss”
