What is a husband? I don't want to hear Webster's version; I want to know what my definition is. I have had two failed marriages, so evidently those qualities do not fit my definition. My third, well, he's my best friend, so that must be important to me. Hubbin is... Well, I started this post... Continue Reading →
Do You Do Write This Way Too?
I've not asked a lot of questions from readers of my blog in my many posts, and it's not because I don't want to know what's going on with you or if you can relate; it's mainly because my brain is firing thoughts through my fingers as I'm posting. I try to get the ideas... Continue Reading →
Diet & Stress, Facing the Giants
I've created stress in my corner of the world. I've come to realize that a lot of it is of my own making, either through something I've said or done, the way I reacted to what was said or done to me, or not saying "no" to additional projects. Stress is stress, whether it's a... Continue Reading →
Trying For Kindness (Trying)
I can make changes to my life, but I've come to realize there are certain things I cannot change. I can't change people's minds, I cannot do a lot to fix the world, and I cannot be something I'm not. Today I'm reflecting on the life choices I've made, knowing there is no time machine.... Continue Reading →
Helping To Fill A Need – Volunteering
This morning's thoughts are brought to you by the ever-present, first cup of coffee, so blame that if you have the need. I don't always have an extra dime when it comes to helping fill someone's need, nor do I have unlimited time or energy, but once in a while I am called to help... Continue Reading →
Hoarder vs. Prepper vs. Collector
What's the difference between a hoarder, a prepper, or a collector? Two could be defined as storing things in excess, on the off chance that one would need these items; the third, well, the logic and justification of collecting specific items escapes me this morning. A prepper collects and stores items that could be used... Continue Reading →
Puppy Power
I don't know if I have mentioned that I have a new dog. We adopted him the end of March from the local shelter and named him Shadow since he seems to be a Velcro-dog. Wherever I am, you can find him. We ran his DNA and it turns out he will grow into the... Continue Reading →
Waiting On The Brew – Stealing That First Cup
Ever patiently wait for the coffee maker to finish brewing before grabbing that first cup? Nah, me either. I try, honestly I do. I have a morning routine that I take care of after I turn it on, but most times, I'm stealing the first cup. Thankfully, my coffee maker has the cut-off feature that... Continue Reading →
Minimalism, yea or nay?
Daily writing promptDo you believe in minimalism?View all responses I like the concept of minimalism; do you hear the "...but..." coming? I purchase items from various sources (yard, estate, moving, and garage sales) to sell on several different platforms, so a minimalist lifestyle would not work for me. I guess the happy medium would be... Continue Reading →
Giddy-Up! (an ebay sourcing story)
One of my hobbies is ebaying, because I like finding unique items to put back into the world that would otherwise end up in a landfill. I find these things at thrift shops, as well as yard, garage, estate, and moving sales. My most recent foray was an out-of-state moving sale that included a full... Continue Reading →
