The year is winding down and I'm reaching out to my family and friends to see what their final-final thoughts and activities are for this year, and what they hope to accomplish in 2025. As I get ready to hang up with them, I tell them, jokingly, "Talk to you next year!" I myself am... Continue Reading →
New Year’s Eve – Eve
So much of my day and week has been devoted to deciding where I'd like life to take me next year. Oh, I know I have plans and all of the best intentions, but sometimes life simply takes me on a ride. This next year is about progressing with financial and physical health, and to... Continue Reading →
Art Supplies, a New Jacket, and Rubber Ducks
I got a new art palette, a new jacket that I has put in my "want" list, and a box of 30 different rubber ducks. The story behind the rubber ducks: My back yard floods just about every time it rains, and I've been trying to figure out just how to keep it from doing... Continue Reading →
Touching Others’ Lives
We all go through this life thinking we barely touch others, but when it's all said and done, we are put here to do just that - to have some effect on someone that may just change the course of their life or even set about a series of events that causes greatness to happen. ... Continue Reading →
Things I Love
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...

(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
It's a reflective evening for me tonight, as are most evenings this time of year. Chores are done; my agenda is ready for me to leap into tomorrow morning. 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 →
