The Hazards of Looking Up – The Saga Continues
Ever notice how many times a day you look up? You might go to the cabinet to get a cup or glass, the ingredients for a meal, lift your head to drink that last sip of soda from a can, glance up at a traffic light, or check the time on a wall clock. And... Continue Reading →
Creativeness and Butterflies
I can pretty much write something about anything. Most who know me, know I've written short stories about a bit of everything. Could I write about a box of Kleenex? Yes, and I actually have a short, fictional story about one. Today's thoughts are about butterflies. I am intrigued by them and the symbolism surrounding... Continue Reading →
“…Life’s Ups and Downs…”
"...I've had my share, of life's ups and downs..."

I may gain some insight and logic into why something works or doesn't, but in the end, I'm stubborn (my mother called... Continue Reading →
If You Had Only One Day Left…
Yesterday's appointment with my heart doctor left me with only a few questions. I feel this guy is totally competent and answered every question I threw at him about my condition, but I reserved a few of them for pondering over with my coffee this morning.
