In the fall of the year leading to winter, it is natural to contemplate death and loss. In ancient traditions the sun was waning and they did not yet have the promise of spring showing in the sky. I started getting OneDrive reminders about pictures “on this day” awhile ago. It was unexpected but I …

Time Marches On – My Grief Story 7 Years Later
As I contemplated writing this and really why I needed to “put it down on paper,” I realized that I am probably in the mindset of a person coming down from a high on drugs, thinking I can do fine without another “dose” but not at the stage where I am crashing yet. That is …

Who Are You Really?
Recently someone asked me if I was Liberal or Conservative. She asked because she didn’t want me to be offended by an invitation to a Liberal leaning group on FaceBook. I appreciate that people care enough to ask because so many out there just assume that everyone thinks the same way that they do. I …

Getting Back into the Groove
Still amazed at my titles. I know that’s probably an odd thing to hear but they just pop out and I say “Huh?” and then I get it. I knew I needed – and wanted – to write for some time. On the surface, honestly I question as to whether any of this stuff has …

Alone
I am fully committed to titling these posts instead of using the Musings tagline that I started awhile back. I mention this because it always amazes me how the titles come to life. Those of you who are my FB friends know that Puppy died on Friday evening. I had suspected something might be wrong …

Musings for 2/13/2018
Before I get too busy this afternoon, I wanted to share about this Neutrogena Light Therapy mask that I have been using. I’ve had it about 1. 5 weeks and have used it all but one day. I admit I bought it for breakouts on my face – you know the ones you thought would …

Musings for 2/12/2018
Greetings all. I have been on business travel, and sick, for the past month (not in that order) so have not written in awhile. I have thought about writing though, as I’ve had some interesting experiences. Since I don’t know when the last time I shared was, forgive me if you already knew that I …

Musings for 1/9/2018
Today I attended the second funeral in less than a week down at Spry Funeral Home on North Parkway. I actually meant to post about the first one last week, so let me say a short bit about that. A dear friend’s mother died, someone who was like a second mother to me in high …
