Shortness of Life
Life has become more and more precious each day. Yesterday I was thinking about this month’s blog post, and I realized that we often go through life meaning to do certain things and never do, because life in general gets in the way. That though hit hone this morning when I heard about my friendContinue reading “Shortness of Life”
As the World Turns
That sounds like an old soap opera that my grandmother used to watch! And now everyday seems like the world is changing, and it seems to be unsettling. I was watching a show the other day that depicted New Years Eve 2019, with people showing such hope for the new decade and the year 2020.Continue reading “As the World Turns”
When Will It Stop
The past two years have been very unpredictable. It started with a shutdown of society due to Covid-19 almost two years ago (March 15, 2020 – my birthday lol). Since then people have become more content to stay home, jobs have become remote (and some will continue to be remote) and the whole essence ofContinue reading “When Will It Stop”
Let’s Wake Up
Does anyone remember how different our lives were before March 2020 when the world locked down because of Covid-19?! I am trying hard to remember….. Unfortunately, it gets harder every day.

For example, just the past week we started painting our house and had to move into theContinue reading “It’s All Just “Stuff””
Getting Back to Normal
So now that Covid restrictions are being lifted one at a time, people are getting back into the world. Each step back into a “new normal” feels wonderful and different. We were stuck without our loved ones, our routines, our fun nights out for so long that we are just staring in anticipation at whatContinue reading “Getting Back to Normal”
A New Year With New Hope
It is the end of December of one of the worst years most of us have lived through and we are counting the days until 2021, with hope in our hearts…. Some people lost loved ones, some people lost jobs and others just survived the consequences and loneliness of isolation and separation because of theContinue reading “A New Year With New Hope”
All I Want for Christmas
This year we will be writing different kinds of Christmas lists. Most of them will not include extravagant gifts but rather necessities that we will get for Christmas after surviving this tumultuous year. When thinking about Christmas this year, there is nothing material that I need and I am very thankful for that. So IContinue reading “All I Want for Christmas”
Preparing For Next Lockdown
It is the middle of November and all the news broadcasts talk about limiting number of guests for Thanksgiving, closing bars and restaurants early, limiting gym and bowling alley times and even potentially schools going back to remote. The numbers are up in most states and people are starting to feel a new frenzy andContinue reading “Preparing For Next Lockdown”
