I’m of a particularly gloomy disposition today and as much as I hate to admit it, I’m not done complaining. Lately, life feels much like ‘walking into the wind’. I try and power through it but the whole experience seems rather unpleasant. My body tenses, bracing against the continual gusts, and every now and then,Continue reading “April 11, 2021 – Walking Into The Wind”

April 9, 2021 – Getting Nowhere Fast
Do you ever feel as if you’ve expended a great deal of energy towards achieving specific goals, only to find that you’ve wound up no worse, but certainly no better? Maybe I’m making it into something more than it is, but it sure seems like that’s how most things have played out this week. FromContinue reading “April 9, 2021 – Getting Nowhere Fast”
April 7, 2021 – Disillusioned
I’m feeling particularly down today. Depression is definitely taking hold. I’ve been doing so well and it’s frustrating to feel the walls closing in (yet again). I had such high hopes about getting things done but what I’ve managed to achieve thus far is nothing to write home about. My attempts at working on theContinue reading “April 7, 2021 – Disillusioned”
April 5, 2021 – Enough with the spam already!
When I started my blog, I had no idea that I could be ‘spammed’ on WordPress. I thought all of the comments I received were legitimate. For this reason, I took the time to respond to every single one of them. It’s been quite gratifying hearing from my readers. Each time I read a positiveContinue reading “April 5, 2021 – Enough with the spam already!”
April 3, 2021 – How are things in Glocca Morra?
There’s nothing quite like receiving a call from my mother at four-thirty in the morning, to wake me up with a start. What was so important that she felt it necessary to call me at such an unusual hour? It’s not what you think, my friends. No, there wasn’t an emergency or anything to beContinue reading “April 3, 2021 – How are things in Glocca Morra?”
April 1, 2021 – A waste of a day.
I feel kind of ridiculous at the moment. I talked a big game a couple of nights ago about all the time I was going to gain by only writing every other day. There’s more than enough to do so I figured that with all of the extra time, I could really make a dentContinue reading “April 1, 2021 – A waste of a day.”
March 30, 2021 – Reassessing the Situation
Have you ever decided to do something you have never done before, and then without much reflection, went after it? By this, I mean setting a serious goal to achieve something within a specific timeframe. I’ve set some fairly lofty goals throughout my life. I wanted to have children, I had three. I wanted toContinue reading “March 30, 2021 – Reassessing the Situation”
March 29, 2021 – Little White Lies
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 28, 2021 – Memory Lane
I’m not sure why I’m so exhausted because aside from taking a short walk, I’ve done nothing physically strenuous to speak of. All I did today was a whole lot of eating and talking and listening as well as trying to unsuccessfully find a website that would allow me to schedule my Covid vaccination. DespiteContinue reading “March 28, 2021 – Memory Lane”
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? Without clear boundaries, it seems like we humans have trouble negotiating our way through this life. Boundaries can come in many forms, but the onesContinue reading “March 27, 2021 – Boundaries”
