1. Just because a car raced up along side you at the stop light doesn't mean the driver wants to race. Necessarily. But floor it when the light turns green, anyway. Just in case.2. Nothing depresses or frustrates more than trying on dresses at the store. Except for trying on bathing suits. Also, nothing motivates [...]

Thirty years of marriage.We met thirty-eight years ago.

Stretched out on the treatment table, three thoughts went through my mind: 1) Is this going to hurt? 2) Is this going to do anything at all? 3) What am I going to have for lunch?

I may have mentioned a time or two that I have not been sleeping. Sleep has been an issue for me for several years, but the last 10 months have been brutal. Anxiety, depression, poor eating and exercise habits have all contributed to my lack of sleep, I am positive.So yesterday morning, out of sheer [...]

Still re-reading your messages about your own struggles with anxiety/depression/stuff. As I was reading them this morning, this reminder came across The Twitter:Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

I've always been a huge fan of fruit. If stranded on a desert island, I would demand three things: The Book of Psalms, my light flannel sleep pants, and an endless supply of blueberries. Really, though, would any of us have a choice in what we would be able to grab, let alone demand, if [...]

I have my entire day planned out. It involves a lot of cleaning. And organizing. And some laundry.So far it is 9:30 am and I am still sitting in Mame's chair, sipping coffee, listening to My Man pace around the house doing who-knows-what, re-reading my journal notes from this morning's quiet time.And waiting.The Wild Boy [...]

I am a technology hound. I love my iPhone, iPod, iMac, PC, iPad, music in every room, nice big flat screen in the living room with surround sound. All of it.Also, clearly I am spoiled beyond reason. We are spoiled beyond measure. Sometimes I feel terribly guilty over it. Being such a Princess. Or The [...]
