1. It belonged to my Mother. I received it when she passed away in early January.
2. Although it is new, it just didn’t feel right to take it to begin with.
3. The screensaver was filled with pictures my mother loved.
4. It seemed perfectly suited to sit to top [...] Read more:Thirteen

An angel in California 2008-04-02 22:34:21 My mother (like her mother before her), loved to sew. She shared her passion with my niece K. Being a Grandmas girl, K took to sewing. She has made quilts, scarves, purses, dresses, pillows and more for her family and friends.

Paybacks. Sometimes being childish is the answer… 2008-04-14 17:05:30 A month ago the other half of my duplex was rented out. Seemed like nice enough kids, but I soon learned that they had a dark side.
On the first night they lived there, I learned of one of their bad habits. Seems Jerry does some carpentry on the side. Great: good for him. There is a [...] Read more:answer

A snapshot of spring 2008-05-11 21:37:12 Okay, I admit it. The shot is out of focus and well; random. Still, I like it and thought I would share it with you.

Back to blogging… 2008-05-10 20:16:09 The last few weeks (or maybe it’s months) I have been consumed by my studies and lots of self reflection. For a while, I lost all desire to share my thoughts with everyone. I have decide to fight that weaker part of myself and push more toward growth and self-improvement. So depression be damned, I [...]
Oh, the conundrum. 2008-05-10 19:02:00 I have been thinking…
I haven’t blogged much lately, because I have been shy about sharing some of the harder things that have been going on in my life. I’ve been telling myself that no one would read my blog if I was too honest. Nobody wants to hear about that stuff, right?
On the [...]

They offered to set me up with an appointment in SEVEN WEEKS. [...]
Waiting for answers 2008-05-19 20:23:10 After over a year of being out of therapy, I started again today. Well, sort of. Today I went in for an initial assessment. I got to the appointment half hour early, just like they asked to fill out a questionnaire. Five minutes later, I turned that back in and waited. And waited. And waited. [...] Read more:answers

The Naked Dream 2008-05-27 15:03:42 I finally had that dream. You know, the one that everyone has: Going into a store naked.
There must have been some kind of special promotion going on though, because I wasn’t the only one baring it all. Yep, lots of naked people doing lots of shopping, so it wasn’t too embarrassing.
Then the dream [...] Read more:Dream

My Past Has Been Reduced To a Pile of Rubble 2008-06-04 13:40:43 I was driving down a local Highway and got quite a shock as I drove by the old Mall.
