Start living the life you imagine.
Buddhist philosophy states that we cause our own suffering, and it’s true. We have all sorts of assumptions, expectations and beliefs in place of how things are supposed to be, and when reality doesn’t live up to that, we decide that we are unhappy. That’s the basics of being happy, folks. It’s really that simple.... Continue Reading →
Well it's been almost a year, and I think everyone's pretty much just done with it. I mean, it's to the point where you can actually feel it. Everything is kind of 'meh' and the spark just isn't there, the mojo is gone, whatever euphemism you choose to use here, but they all apply. We've... Continue Reading →
And in a lot of ways, it's still not over. Hopefully we've found ways of coping with it. Or maybe we're still figuring it out. Either way, we've discovered a lot about ourselves since last March, whether we wanted to or not. When the big shut down came, I'll admit it was scary. I remember feeling... Continue Reading →
Maybe you've been wondering, or maybe you haven't... why I've not been writing in the past year. The most obvious excuse would be the pandemic, but it wouldn't be the only reason.

So some of you have noticed, it's been awhile since I've posted. It's been a very rough couple of months for me, and I'm still reeling from it. Sometime midsummer I caught one of those summer colds that everyone dreads. Only it wasn't a cold. It evolved into bronchitis and the doc ended up giving... Continue Reading →
Have you been keeping score lately? Chances are you probably have. You've probably been keeping score for a really long time, and it's not for a game that's played with a ball. It's the kind of game that's played with the mind. It's the kind of game that's played in a relationship. Just about every... Continue Reading →
What... A little too blunt? A little too honest? Are we still not ready to take Mom off the pedestal and just let her have one damn day to herself? Because here's a dirty little secret... it's what she really wants. Think about it for a minute. Mom is always there for us. Mom is the... Continue Reading →
I’ve been loath to write about this subject for a long time, but the time has come. I’m going to come clean and actually admit that I’ve been on an online dating site (or four), and tell you exactly what I think about them. I don't recommend it, it's not pretty. But if you're determined... Continue Reading →
It's a little, dark room at the back of the house. It used to be just a regular room, just like all the others. At first it was a place to store things I wasn't sure what to do with. Things I would just deal with later, at another time. And every so often, I... Continue Reading →
