Chasing Happiness
We all know the feeling…I need a bigger house (car, boat, paycheck, etc.) to be happy. We’re always a dream away from what we think will do it. And that little space between where we are, and what we think will make all the difference, is the space that keeps us from it. How ironic,…

Editor Shock
It’s a funny thing when you write a book and you first receive back the suggestions from the develpmental editor. It feels like criticism of your creative product…”your baby.” It’s as if they commented about moving their nose to the top of their head and suggest that one eye should be on the chin. Your…

The Heart Jiggle
Whenever something happens on my computer that I can’t explain, I start sharing it with others to see if they can. This time was no different. I’ve told my story to several people, and, so far, nothing seems to serve as a logical explanation. Here’s what happened, and you can decide. I made a post…

It’s a Big Deal…Till It’s Not
I know someone who’s had cancer, open heart surgery, 17 other surgeries and several major losses in her life, but has more excitement and enthusiasm for life than most people I know! When her challenges are compared to most of us, it reminds me to count my blessings. And yet, I understand how we can…

Feeling Lucky
I was talking with a friend the other day about how many people that I knew having so many problems recently, adding to the people I knew that had such angry involvement in politics and other controversial issues. So much negative emotion seems to fill the airways and consume conversations. Most days, I feel drawn…

The Red Flower
Sometimes unexplained things happen, and, as I said in my last post, it’s up to me to find the positive and feel the gratitude. A few days ago, when I opened my front door, I could see a red flower sitting on the path to my mailbox. Now there are no red flowers blooming in…

Shift in Perception
For the last year and a half, my late husband has sent electric and electronic signs with lights, the thermostat, my computer, etc. and, at first, I get all upset that something else is broken again, and I’ll have to fix or replace it. After the service guy comes, or the Geek Squad gives it…

You Don’t Know Jack!
My book cover is done, and I love it! My book is now suddenly becoming really real with a final cover, even though we have a way to go to bring it into a printed form to hold in the hand. That will happen on 12/12/23, the same date as my husband’s passing in 2021.…

Being Happy
This sad-looking hound is my granddog, “Happy.” I love his name and his perfect life. He has two other “brother-like” dogs sharing his wonderfully comfortable home, a private back yard, two squares a day, treats for various thrills and good behavior, and love like you wouldn’t believe. All of his needs are taken care of…

Ego Mind Mini-Breaks
We know our minds are ever-vigilant… protecting us so we can survive in this physical life. Our egos are all about how we think what our lives should look like…our beliefs leading to our expectations. It’s part of being physical. We spend a lot of time bracing for what or who we should watch out…
