My first morning coffee, the way Hubbin looks at and laughs with me, phone calls from my kids and my friends, my Grands, honeysuckle, orange roses, babies, my Can-Am, pizza, sunshine, snow, paid bills, hot showers, warm rains, thunderstorms, fluffy down comforters, people watching, a clean house, freshly mown lawns, clean sheets, a child's hug, hearing...

Promises
(Written about fifteen years ago, but still holds true today, especially that last part) I've come to realize the importance of keeping promises. I know just about everyone that might be reading my blatherings will of course say they do, but I've not always been this way. Oh, I would take care of the usual... Continue Reading →
Red Lights
I wrote this oh, perhaps fifteen years ago, back when I had a blog on someone else's site. That site went defunct, and I thought I'd lost all my blogs, but I found a copy of some of them this morning, so here is one from that era... I'm blessed with Red Lights. It is... Continue Reading →
Working on a Story and Getting Sidetracked
This morning I was trying to find the story I've been working on (a Western) and I came across my old blog from WAAAAY back. See how easy it is for me to get off track??? Anyway, there were a couple that I want to repeat, so this morning I'll put them in separately so... Continue Reading →
The Best Early Christmas Present
I received the best early Christmas present yesterday, in the form of a seven-year-old. I have not been permitted to see my littles since Halloween, and yesterday my oldest Gambaby's school asked me to come get him since he was sick and my daughter could not be contacted. So even though he was sick, I... Continue Reading →
Two Weeks to Go

There's nothing left to get into tonight that won't take more time than I want to give it, so here I am, contemplating the upcoming holiday.... Continue Reading →
Life After Death
Hubbin and I had the discussion this morning about what each of us would do if the other passed away. There was the usual: funeral vs. cremation, life insurance, trust funds, what to do with left behind belongings, etc. Well, he's heard me say (many times), "I don't know what I'd do without you." Well,... Continue Reading →
Challenge – Write A “Thank You” Note to Yourself
I saw a challenge this morning about writing a "Thank You" note to yourself. Such a difficult task this is, to write about oneself! I contemplated this for the last several hours and pondered about what I would or could thank myself for, and a list developed in my mind. I don't mean to sound... Continue Reading →
Thoughts for This Fine Friday
My days have suddenly become free, which has created a small dilemma. How shall I fill my time? For today, should I finish painting the living room, work on my novel, finish the artwork on my Christmas cards, shampoo the carpets, dive into the planning of my garden, or go shopping for the lumber for...

Handling Twice the Stress
I don't like to be blindsided. Well, that's the logic I have maintained most of my life, the 'what ifs' driving various scenarios in my imagination, from little things to big ones: "What if my child is part of the pile-up I heard about on the news?" "What if the noise coming from my dryer... Continue Reading →
