Looks like We Made It! On #JOY and #GRATITUDE

It is just after midnight and though I know I should probably be sleeping, I'm not.  After weeks of debating the unknowns and weighing options, and doing my research, I'm standing on the other side of the worst part of it all.  The waiting was far worse than the rest of any of it, strangely enough.  I realize there's still some healing and all that goes with that, but I'm not worried. 

Of Memories and Birthdays - I Challenge You!

Memories are sometimes a strange and wonderful thing.  You never know when or where a trigger is going to arrive. It could be a scent, a sound, a comment made, or even a song on the radio and suddenly you're reminiscing on a long ago moment in time.

I've been pondering an awful lot lately about something I've always referred to, as "Life in General"...  this last year or so has been such a complete whirlwind that I have sometimes had times when it feels like I've forgotten to stop and breathe,  but then there are other times that just seemed to drag on.. and on.. and on..   F - O - R - E - V - E - R !!!

A Page In Time

On January 21st, 1978 I became a big sister.  I remember watching the lump in my mother's belly grow and grow and having so many questions.  My parents hadn't explained anything to me, and I remember going to the library at school and telling the librarian that my Mom's tummy was getting bigger and bigger.  I came home that day with a backpack full of books, and a boat load of questions.

The Culmination of a Year - Waving Goodbye to 2014!

With the holidays behind us, we are just over a week into the new year.  The snow has begun to fall in buckets it would seem, and turning everything into a winter wonderland.  Is it bad that I've already had enough of winter? 

Bring on the new year!

I know y'all aren't used to the chatterbox being so quiet, and I've had a number of friends and readers message me over the last little while to see if I was OK and why I hadn't updated my blog in a bit.
