I've mentioned before that I'm homebound for a bit, until we (Hubbin, me, and the various docs I'm seeing) figure out what's causing my severe vertigo and how to fix it. Having said that, I have brief moments when it's not so bad, and instead of using those moments of respite to enjoy the normalcy,... Continue Reading →
Storytelling
I've always been someone who loves to tell stories and can create 'shorts' at the drop of a hat. Want to hear one about a hat? I've got you covered! *pun intended* When my Littles stay the night and are in their beds at the end of the day, one of their favorite last things... Continue Reading →
Posting Excerpts Of My Stories – Yes? No?
This morning I have been contemplating whether to post parts of the stories I'm working on, here on my blog. What would be the pros and cons? The only downside I could think of is that someone could publish my work as their own. Don't you risk that very problem if you have an outsider... Continue Reading →
The Benefits of His Grace
This morning I was simply going through the motions. My prayer and reflection time has decreased to almost a non-existence lately as I battle my health issues, but then this morning I plugged into some of my favorite music. One song spoke to me; it described a wind that goes through you. Doesn't that sound... Continue Reading →
Exercise Amid Illness
So I've got something medically wrong that crops up from time to time, specifically, vertigo (dizziness for those who don't know and don't want to look it up). This week it is bad and let's add a migraine-quality headache that has contributed to my downtime. I was getting back into my program, but this week... Continue Reading →
Arm’s Length – To Hug or Not To Hug?
This morning's writing prompt came from a thought I had about relationships, and just how close I'll let anyone get to me. I am not a hugger by nature; I keep most people at arm's length unless I feel a hug is warranted. I wonder if that is a trait of introverts or is it... Continue Reading →
My Dying Garden
I have determined that I do not possess a green thumb and think I'm finally ready to acknowledge that the grass truly is greener on the other side, because that's where it's watered more. There's an age-old lesson to be learned from this that applies to life and relationships and perhaps I'll dwell on that... Continue Reading →
Workouts – Three Steps Forward…?
It seems that lately I've let life get in the way and have put what's important to me on a back burner. I'm talking about finishing my weight loss journey and dropping into a maintenance level. I'm sure not kidding anyone when I say "lately"; this happened after last year's heart scare. I was clicking... Continue Reading →
Update: Our Little Dog, Shadow
By the way, when I say, our "little dog," he's not so little anymore. When we got him, he weighed just under nineteen pounds; I weighed him at the vet's a couple of weeks ago and he has gone from that to almost seventy! He's about seven-and-a-half months old , so I'm thinking he's going... Continue Reading →
It’s Another Hot One!
Those in the know predict another possible triple digit day today. If you're experiencing these temperatures, how are you staying cool amid all you have planned? Have your plans changed? My garden is definitely suffering! I've been debating whether to get some shade cloth or let my garden die in peace, but this morning I've... Continue Reading →
