“For the rest of history, for most of us, our bright promise will always fall short of being actualised; it will never earn us bountiful sums of money or beget exemplary objects or organisations.... Most of us stand poised at the edge of brilliance, haunted by the knowledge of our proximity, yet still demonstrably on … Continue reading Powerful Words

Tonight 1-8
I traveled today. I'm in a different state, 1,000 miles from home. I got a lot of work done while I was traveling, had dinner with some co-workers here where we talked about work stuff and then personal lives. The food was lovely, and we laughed and shared some good moments. I got back to … Continue reading Tonight 1-8
Guess Whose Birthday It Is!
Yes!! It's Elvis' birthday!! 1935-1977 And here's me today: Well, kind of anyhow. I'm still celebrating the King's birthday, but I''m not wearing a sliver lame cape in honor of it - thanks for that suggestion though, David, the image is lingering with me... But look at that Pretty Boy face. For some reason, Elvis … Continue reading Guess Whose Birthday It Is!
Ideas
I have a bunch of thoughts floating around in my head - if I knew how to do it, I'd put them here in bubbles, like a cartoon, or circles. But I don't know how to do that here, so you'll have to imagine it. Here are my thoughts, in no particular order. I Believe: … Continue reading Ideas
TMI Tuesday, January 4
But first - thank you to those of you who commented on yesterday's post. I deeply appreciate the insight and wisdom of the people I know here. Your willingness to look into yourself and share your perspective means a lot to me. Now for TMI Tuesday. (I know it's Wednesday -so what?) Borrowing this from … Continue reading TMI Tuesday, January 4
Here Comes the New Year…
Arbitrary of course. January 1st is not really new and 2017 slides seamlessly into 2018 for real. But the "new year" is a reasonable way to mark time, so I'll go with it. (I'm sure that's a great relief to the universe, right?) My tooth is fixed - yay and double yay!! The dentist was … Continue reading Here Comes the New Year…
At the Coffee Shop
I'm writing this from a new coffee shop - new to me, that is. It's a cozy, let's-drink-tea-and-sing-Kumbaya kind of place. Lots of wood, esoteric wall hangings and baked goods with all natural ingredients. The first thing I notice is the couple sitting to the right of the door. He is a middle aged man, … Continue reading At the Coffee Shop
Happy Halloween!
Halloween is definitely more fun when there are grands involved. 🙂 Did you know that, according to Snopes, there has not been one single documented incident of someone randomly giving out poisoned candy. Not. One. I think about all the candy we meticulously inspected for signs of tampering. All the darn candy we through away. … Continue reading Happy Halloween!
Me and My Sign
Once upon a time, in the very long ago, "What's your sign?" was an actual pick-up line in bars. Maybe not a good one, and it became a joke, but it really was a thing. I don't put any stock in horoscopes predicting the future, but always enjoyed reading about people's signs. My favorite resource … Continue reading Me and My Sign
Sleepwear
This is the kind of thing that i would only share here becuase really, no one is going to be interested in it, um, because it's not really interesting to anyone but me. And if you came looking for sexy lingerie, you are going to be disappointed. Sorry. So. For many years, I slept naked. … Continue reading Sleepwear
