Possession and the Time Traveler’s Wife

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

"What is it? My Dear?" "Ah, how can we bear it?" "Bear what?" "This. For so short a time. How can we sleep this time away?" "We can be quiet together, and pretend - since it is only the beginning - that we have all the time in the world." "And every ...

I didn’t know he was for me

Friday, March 26th, 2010

I put this on the Rainbow Bridge website a bit ago. I'd been sent, again, a story about an old man who was walking along a road with a dog when he suddenly realized he was dead and so had been, for many years, the dog at his side. ...

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

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 ...
