I'm losing momentum. I get up each morning with the best intentions - I'm going to clean something, get rid of something, exercise, eat healthy, pay bills. And then I lose momentum at the list I've just created. I merely glance at the list and know that once again I've bitten off more than I... Continue Reading →
Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life
What if you told yourself that today is the first day of the rest of your life, first thing this morning? What would you do differently? Anything? Sometimes regrets start to sidle their way into my memories, and this morning I mentioned to a friend that I had some noteworthy experiences from life choices I... Continue Reading →
Having Your Ducks In A Row
I know the title speaks of ducks, but this one is about geese. I once worked at an office that was at the edge of a sanctuary for a migratory geese flight path, so during certain times of the year, the birds from the sanctuary spilled over to the grounds around the buildings. There were... Continue Reading →
Puke Is Puke, In Any Language!
You know the sound. Sorry if that makes you dump out your morning coffee and put away the cup, but I needed to write about this particular topic this morning.

They all proclaim that you can save a huge percentage on your purchases if you buy now. I guess they are not... Continue Reading →
‘Praying’ Attention
I was perusing others' blogs in search of some writing inspiration, and came across one that spoke of 'paying attention.' Well, as it often happens with me, I read it wrong and read it as 'praying attention'. Ha! Isn't that ironic?! That idea stuck with me, so here I am, coffee in hand, writing about...

Dining With The King And Queen Of England
I dream vividly and can usually remember my dreams - where I was, who I was with, what I was doing, and how I felt. Last night's dream was about running into the King and Queen of England when they visited the U.S., specifically in New York. How was this possible? Of course in my... Continue Reading →
Is “Catching Up” the Same as Gossiping?
On my 'commute' to the coffeemaker this morning, I reminisced about the time I recently spent with my daughter. She had come over to assist me with my business and we worked side-by-side to make a dent in my overwhelmed-ness. We calmly spent several hours getting some organization to my chaos, laughing at some silliness,... Continue Reading →
Misdirected Deliveries – Who Fixes This Mess?
I have a friend who erroneously received a delivery of a product from a business she worked at years ago.
