December 11, 2020 – Trying to save the world (PART FIVE)

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).”

November 22, 2020 – The pitfalls of being a perfectionist.

I wish I was someone that could just do something mediocre and be ok with it. But I wasn’t born that way. It doesn’t matter what the task, how large or how small, I have to work at it until I achieve perfection. My husband reminded me today that ‘I have a problem’, which IContinue reading “November 22, 2020 – The pitfalls of being a perfectionist.”

November 21, 2020 – Should I stay or should I go?

It seems that most of us have a pretty good internal gauge that helps us determine when it’s time to move on. Whether that decision (to stay or go) pertains to a relationship or a job, the questions to ask yourself are essentially the same. And sometimes we pay close attention to that gauge andContinue reading “November 21, 2020 – Should I stay or should I go?”

November 17, 2020 – Massage Encounters

There is nothing quite like a massage to reset your body as well as your mind. I didn’t have my first massage until well into adulthood when my husband purchased one for me as a birthday gift. After the session, I felt a state of relaxation I had never felt before. It was w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l (asideContinue reading “November 17, 2020 – Massage Encounters”

November 16, 2020 – Head in the Sand

I wish I had stayed home today but I needed groceries so there was no getting around it. I had a good attitude when I left my house, but as usual, I returned with a rather somber disposition. What is up with humanity? People act so ugly towards each other. I just don’t understand it.Continue reading “November 16, 2020 – Head in the Sand”

November 12, 2020 – A thank you card would have been nice.

I work hard for my money, at least I did until I was laid off, so if you have an event or an occasion or a party or a celebration and I bought you a gift, I’d really appreciate some acknowledgement in writing. It doesn’t need to cost a lot of money, nor does itContinue reading “November 12, 2020 – A thank you card would have been nice.”
