Personal Struggles
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? It is not easy to find much positive in my life this past year. My dad died in January. He was the glue that held our family together. In March, my husband had his 8th knee surgery and spent two months in…

Back in 1990
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). Our first desktop home computer that my husband built was the first most expensive item we ever purchased together. I was so impressed by his ability to “build” a computer. And I was equally impressed by the cost. *GULP* Over $5000…

Time is of the Essence
Do you need time? Yes! In fact, I was late to work this morning because I was not going to miss my opportunity to vote! I was the fourth person in line to vote at my precinct’s assigned voting location. It was a very chilly morning! Coats were appropriate attire It felt so good to…

Blessed!
Describe a family member. This beautiful Sunday morning, as I look out the back door at this corner of our yard, my thoughts are drawn to the beauty of change, the clouds in the sky, the mostly empty flower pots, and the raised garden box, which contains one last 2-inch long zucchini that I was…

Possessions
What would you do if you lost all your possessions? Popcorn is a favorite snack of mine. The smell of popcorn makes me want to watch 48-Hours, the True Crime Show. And, eating pistachios makes me think of The People’s Court. My husband and I went through a phase of popping popcorn and watching 48-Hours…

VP Debate
What skill would you like to learn? How to handle an unfair situation like what is taking place on CBS tonight. 😉 These moderators are anything but unbiased. What a joke! What ever happened to unbiased journalism? One of those men pretends to care for the American people. The other one really does. Common sense…

Virtual Fulfillment?
In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? I despise (maybe too strong of a word… “dislike” is better) laziness. It is sad to see the potential of loved ones slip away in place of laziness. There is a difference between disorganization and pure laziness. A person’s house can be rather sloppy and…

Little League Soccer :)
What things give you energy? I’m sitting here this morning with my huband, mom, and daughter, watching my grandson and his teammates chase the soccer ball from one end of the field to the other. The ball slices through the cool crisp air until another young set of legs stops its drive. It brings a…

Sad Songs Make Me Cry
What would your life be like without music? Sometimes, on sad days, I like to cry it out by listening to sad songs. One of my favorite sad songs is “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton. When I’m cleaning, I like to listen to Miranda Lambert songs. “Little Red Wagon” is a fun one. It…

Keep a Journal
Time moves so fast. And your memory fades over time. The details of your life, over time, become less and less easy to recall. One of my friends became an author. She has kept a journal her entire life, which was very helpful to her when she wrote her first book. I just wish I…

I Run…
How often do you walk or run? Every. Single. Time… I am chased by a bear!! 😉 They say anxiety may be caused by having too much cortisol in your system, like your body’s autonomic system is in constant “fight or flight” mode, which encourages your body to release the cortisol hormone. It is as…
