My husband surprised me today! No, it’s not what you’re thinking. Get your mind out of the gutter! He surprised me because he told a ‘little white lie’ to the neighbor and it’s eating him up inside! My husband NEVER lies. He is all about honesty and integrity and speaking the truth. It’s what heContinue reading “March 29, 2021 – Little White Lies”

March 27, 2021 – Boundaries
There’s a poem by Robert Frost that contains a line or phrase often quoted in the United States (and possibly elsewhere), “Good fences make good neighbors.” How true is that?

March 24, 2021 – Craigslist or E-Bay?
Am I the only one that thinks trying to get rid of a bag of raisins on Craigslist is a bad idea? I’ve read so many news articles about people leaving this planet sooner than expected due to a bad Craigslist encounter. Is it worth inviting a stranger to your home and possibly getting assaultedContinue reading “March 24, 2021 – Craigslist or E-Bay?”
March 22, 2021 – What is with all of the ‘hate’?
Why is it necessary for us to extremely dislike or hate others for no valid reason? I don’t understand where it stems from. Since the dawn of time, it seems like one ‘man’ is trying to obliterate another. Currently, people of Asian descent are being targeted. What the hell is that all about?! I canContinue reading “March 22, 2021 – What is with all of the ‘hate’?”
March 21, 2021 – Like with Like
If you want to know what the key is to getting organized, it’s putting ‘like with like’. When the pandemic hit last year, I got plenty of practice.

March 17, 2021 – Good friends are hard to find.
Before I begin, I just have to make a few announcements. First of all, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! For all of you folks that look forward to your annual green beer, today’s the day! Second of all, I wanted to let all of you know that I have officially published 170 posts (in 170 days).Continue reading “March 17, 2021 – Good friends are hard to find.”
March 16, 2021 – Unsolicited Advice
Has anyone ever asked you how you were doing when you were having a difficult day? I’ve had it happen more times than I’d care to admit to. And if I was like most people, I would probably respond with ‘alright’ or ‘good’, followed by a ‘how are you?’ But I have a tendency toContinue reading “March 16, 2021 – Unsolicited Advice”
March 15, 2021 – Things I have learned.
Birthdays are a great time to reflect. Yesterday was my birthday and I thought a lot about what I’ve experienced over the past few months. There is so much to learn in this lifetime; each year continually delivers new and unexpected challenges. As the years have advanced, what I have found to be even moreContinue reading “March 15, 2021 – Things I have learned.”
March 7, 2021 – When it’s time (Part One)
Did you ever meet someone when you were very young that you considered a friend? Not just any ol’ friend, your best friend. They became nearly interwoven in your life because they were always ‘there’ when you needed them. Every birthday, every anniversary, and every Christmas, a card or cards word arrive in the mail.Continue reading “March 7, 2021 – When it’s time (Part One)”
March 6, 2021 – Love and Marriage
So many times I could have thrown in the towel. So many times. We met when we were both incredibly young, just 19 and newly ‘out in the world’. Initially, I wasn’t the least bit attracted to him. I always gravitated toward ‘bad boys’ and he was far too nice to fit into that category.Continue reading “March 6, 2021 – Love and Marriage”
