2021 New Year – New Journey? PART II
Continuing with the drama called my life in 2020… So we continued to deal with my dad the best we could through the remainder of summer and into the fall. In October, we (me, my ‘husfriend’ and my son) went out of town to be with my daughter and her family for my granddaughter’s birthday. …

2021 New Year – New Journey? PART I
Hello! Welcome to my pad. My journey. My random thoughts. So, I’m starting anew I guess and hope to get some traction on this blog again. It has always been a great source of venting for me and at times a means to process my feelings. Life generally gets in the way and I drop…

LIFE AS I KNOW IT…
Just like everyone else, I am adjusting to the ‘new normal’ in this COVID-19 world. It’s interesting. And heartbreaking. And scary. And exhausting.

THROUGH A CHILD’S EYES
When my daughter was young, I worked full-time as a single mother. My mom would pick her up from school. When I got off, I would go to my parents’ house and we would all have dinner together before taking her home. During those times – my dad always had milk with his evening meal.…

Journey Down Memory Lane & Back
Mixed emotions. That is what I have been experiencing lately. Like a roller-coaster, up on minute, down the next. Funny how going down memory lane can bring back emotions as if you were back in that time. It kind of wears you out to be up one moment and then deeply saddened in the very…

Still On My Journey…Learning More…..Sometimes With My Heels Dug In…..
I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything since May – and here it is October! A lot has been going on for sure. Some of it has been tough, but I lean heavily on God and He always sees me through! As mentioned in this previous post, my daughter and son-in-law moved down south. They are…
