A Character Defect – my little secret

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Or at least that is what my son calls it. So, I confess, I like chick flicks. Not sure why. I don't like, don't read, romance novels and never have, no interest at all, and I don't like the formula "love story" either. You know the ...

When Someone Grieves

Friday, January 1st, 2010

This is from Steve Goodier's newsletter, with his permission. I have a word or two of my own following. What do you say to someone who is grieving? ("Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" probably tops the list of the kinds of conversation starters that ...

A loss

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

I've been informed that Sandra Seich, who authored the book, and test, that I talked about in the Top Strengths section on my main site, passed away on Christmas Eve, 2009. I've been blessed by her friendship and love as the world has by her incredible talent, will and ...

Sacred Tears

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

I want to talk about tears tonight, first, yes, long time no post, but still, I intend to be here more often, it is only that life keeps getting in the way, some of that life part involves tears. I know that men and women experience tears in very different ways, ...

The Greatest Gift of All

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

This is, again, from Steve Goodier, the Methodist minister with the newsletter I have been receiving by far the longest of the many things I get daily, these are no longer daily, but are always treasured. This one is most appropriate for my blog too. You'll see why. ...

The Blue Bird of Happiness

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

This is all Steve Goodier, a wonderful story, and a little spin at the end, that would be me. :^) BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS A sign in a pet store read, "If anybody has seen the Bluebird of Happiness, would you please notify this pet store?" Happiness seems to be in short supply ...

The Last Mimzy

Friday, September 11th, 2009

This isn't new, but rather a repeat, that will for reasons of your own become obvious as to why. Not the best thing I've written, but it makes me feel so much better about life. And today I need that. :^) gene I don't rent many movies, most ...

Man’s best friend, My bff, My Cisco

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

This week I lost the best friend I have ever had in this life. Cisco, born 11/14/1995, died 08/07/2009. I want to just talk a little about this furry wonder who came into my life when he was 7 weeks old weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces and full of spunk ...

An update and a few words

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

For those of you following my son's story on CaringBridge, you'll know that is where I've done most of my writing the past, nearly three months now. His accident and his slow recovery, now beginning a long and painful rehabilitation process, has consumed my time and attention pretty much ...

Dark night turned into a bright new day

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

I've not been here for a bit and while doing some housecleaning thought to check back in here and noticed my last post. I thought I'd best update things! Evan spent a month in the Critical Care Unit of the ICU but last Thursday was moved to the "normal" ICU. ...
