Today’s youth face challenges their parents never experienced, and parents face challenges they never dreamed of.

SWEET CONSISTENCY
I genuinely believe there is no perfect person on earth. So when I see people that generally defend the truth with people they don’t know, then turn around and refuse to acknowledge the truth about someone they know, it smacks of hypocrisy. I’m thinking along the lines of abuse victims. These people will defend theContinue reading “SWEET CONSISTENCY”
TALK
Good Morning! Hope you’re all having a good one so far. I woke up feeling like I might be trying to “catch” something; headache and achiness. It feels like a good YouTube tutorial day. A post I read this morning reminded me that years ago I was quiet as a young person but in ChristContinue reading “TALK”
SLOW
I struggled for quite some time during the first year of “unofficial retirement”. Many didn’t consider my job important, but it was one where I was always busy, with little time for breaks, if we got one, and usually only a 20-minute lunch. Productivity was a necessity to meet immediate and long-term schedules and goals.Continue reading “SLOW”
RAGE
Two wrongs don’t make a right. We hear that old adage but do we understand what it means?

There is so much anger and despair in the world, and it feeds onContinue reading “RAGE”

Facebook has an algorithm that makesContinue reading “GHOSTED”
EMBARRASSED
I’ve discovered there are two types of people at the dog park: The ones who are horrified that you don’t do something about your dog’s disgusting behavior, and the ones who say, “Don’t worry. They’re dogs, and that’s what dogs do.” Finding the middle ground with wisdom is my goal. Presently, our dog Dandy hasContinue reading “EMBARRASSED”
BEAUTY
Recently, I joined a group on social media geared toward aging gracefully.
UP
It really isn’t optional.
MERCY
Today at the grocery store, I was standing in the tea aisle when a man walked by with his frail wife pushing the cart. He politely said, “Excuse me, ma’am,” when he went in front of me and then impatiently and not so nicely asked his wife, “Is this what you want? WHAT?”. I’ve saidContinue reading “MERCY”
