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.

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 off for a time. If
Read moreJust 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.

Read moreIt’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 it. But not this year
Read moreI 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 remind myself to stop and
Read moreME: 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 a phase that my body
