October 21, 2020 – How come nobody warned me about ‘Blog Brain’?

Help me! I think I’ve developed ‘blog brain’. I can hardly eat or sleep. All I think about is what I should write about next. I cannot turn off my thoughts. “What should I write about today, or tomorrow, or next week?” I often ask myself. “Will people enjoy what I have to say orContinue reading “October 21, 2020 – How come nobody warned me about ‘Blog Brain’?”

October 20, 2020 – Book recommendations from a non-fiction enthusiast (Part Two).

Well, I hope you’ve had a chance to peruse the list I provided earlier of some of my favorite non-fiction books.

Everyone has aContinue reading “October 20, 2020 – Book recommendations from a non-fiction enthusiast (Part Two).”

October 18, 2020 – Take it from me, don’t forget to do your homework when hiring a contractor!

Let this serve as a warning for those of you that could use some help in the ‘home improvement’ department from time to time, but don’t do your homework. Remember back in the day when your teacher told you that in order to pass the class, completing the homework was essential? Well, in this case,Continue reading “October 18, 2020 – Take it from me, don’t forget to do your homework when hiring a contractor!”

October 17, 2020 – Arachnophobia

Would you like to hear a scream that will put everyone on high alert? Just dangle a spider in front of my face. I do hope that you’ve remembered to put in your ear plugs because if you haven’t, there’s a good chance that you’ll end up with shattered ear drums or hearing loss orContinue reading “October 17, 2020 – Arachnophobia”

October 16, 2020 – Have you ever met my brother ‘Turtle’?

If you’ve ever met my brother, you would remember. I assure you. I’m going to call him ‘Turtle’ because that’s probably the most accurate way to describe him. He walks slow, he talks slow, he eats slow, he drives slow. If he ever did anything fast, I might mistake him for somebody else. And notContinue reading “October 16, 2020 – Have you ever met my brother ‘Turtle’?”

Have you ever written something profound to someone and never heard back? That’s what I’m wrestling with today.

I wanted them to recognize how much they mean to me andContinue reading “October 15, 2020 – Love is never wasted.”

October 14, 2020 – Aging like ‘fine wine’ is a myth.

Oh, to be young again! You never seem to appreciate what you’ve got until it’s gone. The clear vision, firm yet supple skin, ears that actually hear, hips and legs that gracefully support your upper body and help you effortlessly move about. As you gaze at your reflection, you ask, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall…whoContinue reading “October 14, 2020 – Aging like ‘fine wine’ is a myth.”

October 13, 2020 – Got a kidney to spare?

Today, I thought I’d talk about all the things that make life worth living. It’s so easy to think about all of the things you don’t have and get sucked into the whole ‘life isn’t fair’ vortex, which can take you down, down, down. But if you take a moment, you’ll find that there areContinue reading “October 13, 2020 – Got a kidney to spare?”

October 12, 2020 – I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

You want to know the BEST way to destroy a relationship? When someone you really care about asks if they can borrow some money, lend it to them. And then sit back. Don’t worry, it won’t take long. At first, you’ll only think about it from time to time. A few days will go by,Continue reading “October 12, 2020 – I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”
