    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. There are millions of people providing their insight and fears and ideas during this time.  So, I’m not going there.  Honestly – I’m sick and tired of the whole darned thing.  I…

  • TO MY DAUGHTER

    You and I have been through a lot over the years. It has been me-n-you since you were barely a year old. Look at you now – a 26 year old, a grown-up, an adult, a mother of two, a wife!

  • MOTHER’S DAY EMAIL I JUST RECEIVED…

    I just got the following email from my daughter who is almost 22 and getting ready to move to another part of the state in about 3 weeks: Mom, I wanna take this time to tell you just how much you mean to me. This Mother’s Day is gonna be a very bitter sweet day.…

  • Thought-Provoking Movie Night

    Movies.  I have watched a couple of movies recently that really touched me.  Movies that had me coming away still thinking about them and I thought I would share some of those thought with you. The first was called ‘The Intouchables’ – a 2011 movie and based on a true story – full of meaning…

  • Life Experiences: Fibromyalgia & Fibro Fog

    Many people have never heard of Fibromyalgia.  Some have heard of it but have no idea of what it is.  Some people know that it means you have chronic pain – but that is all they know.  Some don’t believe it even exists…. I remember the day my doctor finally said that he believed I…

  • Can You Believe It Is 2014?!

    It’s 2014…..can you believe it!?  Another year has flown by already.  This year will mark many changes for me – some of them will be bittersweet. I’m not one to do New Year’s resolutions or anything like that – for me it has always simply been a new number on the calendar and that was…

  • He Came Through Again – And Technology is Great!

    I did it again.  I let my faulty ‘auto-pilot’ kick in when an unexpected problem came up recently.  I had to give myself a good talking to for sure!  Good news though – I am learning to lean on my Father more and more.  And though I may panic for a bit I continue to…

  • Catch Up Time and In the News

    ME: I have posted about the detox I was trying.  And I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned how it didn’t work for me.  Don’t get me wrong – I’m pretty sure it would have worked – but for whatever reason it did not do well with my Fibromyalgia.  And though I was told that it was just…
