Another challenge from the Daily Post. I accept. No half-hearted resolutions composed of shoulds or maybes, but true resolves. Hmm. Initially, this challenge just left me cold. This once a year thing has always puzzled me. If something concerns me enough that I need to do something about it, why wait until this day? Hours […]

This is part of the Daily Post challenge – they pick a topic and we respond. Today’s Tell us about the role that faith plays in your life — or doesn’t. Faith? I think I’ve always had it, some days/years stronger than others, admittedly. I remember my first miracle – likely there had been many, […]
The news coming from Washington, D.C. isn’t good. To say there is a problem between the House and the Senate is to say that you’ve got a cold when you’ve really got walking pneumonia. I find myself going numb, shaking my head, and saying I did not vote for this. So what? My world still […]
Every year, this challenge of the Christmas Tree comes up. Is it Christmas, really, without one? In my heart of hearts, no, it is not. There have been years when getting a Christmas tree and decorating it went by me. It just got away from me for one reason or another. Work? Money? Time? Living […]
I’m one of those snobby creatures who, if the masses love it, think it can’t be that good. I miss a lot of wonderful things because of this intrinsic character flaw. I thought the Beatles were all flash. Yep, I was judgmental at eight years old. I was wrong and came along after years, though […]
It is Winter Solstice Eve 2012. Depending on who you pal around with, the world ends tomorrow via the Mayan calendar, or it’s five days until Christmas, or tomorrow is the shortest day of the year. For me, this night, the Eve of Winter Solstice is a magical night. The tradition began about 2003 or […]
Integrity is a curious thing. I googled it out of curiosity and got 216 million hits in 0.13 seconds…. Obviously, a popular topic. For all its popularity, how often do you see it? Do you know it when you see it? There is agreement that it has to do with a firm adherence to a […]
Have you ever looked for something that you know you left in a specific spot and yet… it is not there. This has been happening a lot lately. I take comfort in the fact that I’ve seen my friends doing it too. Or, that it is happening to them, too. This past weekend, knowing I […]
It was Christmas Eve or early Christmas Day, since it was closer to 2:30 a.m. just about three or four years ago. It was snowing, my breath frosting from the air. I’d stepped outside to have a cigarette. All was quiet, all was still. I had been invited to join a friend and her family […]
I am so glad you came. Come on in. How did you find me? Never mind, it is just great to see you. Coffee? Tea? Vodka, wine? Please sit down and have a read. What are you interested in? I’m willing to bet over the coming months there will be something to pique your interest. […]
