Flavio “Possessed”
I have one of those robot vacuums, that I named Flavio for fun, and it has always intrigued me. How it bumps into every chair and table leg, changes course, and keeps going till somehow it finds its way back to the docking station to recharge. And it eventually vacuums the whole floor space even…

Fooling Around on the Island
I know I’ve shared how the island in the middle of our lake blew over to my yard after Hurricane Milton. Now, as the nesting season is beginning, the nesting birds are flying in landing on what was a birdless island, and I have a “bird’s eye view.” It’s truly up close and personal! Last…

Widows Surprised
There are times I find myself at a gathering where I meet other women who have recently lost their husbands, and I instantly feel connected to them. The first year after my husband passed, I actually avoided parties for fear my crying might involuntarily start, and it would be such a downer. My second year…

Blow-ups Come to Life
I go out walking every day and always see the deflated Christmas decorations lying on the ground all over my neighbors’ yards. It strikes me so funny.

Cherished Time

Our Wishbone Symbol
This morning I was cleaning out a drawer of my late husband’s desk and found a little red box I had given him a few years back. When I looked inside, I remembered what was in it. It was a small silver wishbone I had given him on our 50th anniversary. I told him that…

12/12/’24
Three years ago today, my husband passed, and I couldn’t imagine living without him. Three years and a lot of tears later, and I’m still here. I still miss him and always will, but my journey was made so much easier by the signs and communications that appear to be from his spirit. In fact…

The Happiness Trifecta!
I personally believe there are three things in life that make it satisfyingly whole, happy and worthwhile even as the daily challenges come and go. My top three are to be loved, to be understood, and to have the spark of purpose. As for love, I mean that cared-for kind…not just the romantic kind you…
