Do you see the good in life?

Posted on May 23, 2021     1 Comment

I know most of you don’t know me, and If I had to describe myself, I guess the positive side is that I normally try to find the good in life situations and in people. I really don’t think it’s that difficult, although there’s been a few situations when I struggled to see the purpose, […]

Change

I always love it when I see that first leaf that reveals summer is coming to an end. Most of the leaves are still green, and then before you know it most of them have changed. There’s nothing like stumbling upon a rainbow of colors scattered around a tree. For me, this season is magical […]

Marriage 101

It’s hard to believe I’ve been married for almost 36 years. We tied the knot when I was in the eighth grade, and it’s been uphill ever since. 😉 The truth is, I didn’t meet him until I was a freshman in college — and it has been a rollercoaster ride ever since! My life, […]

Next summer, my husband and I will celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary.  Where does the time go? I think back over the years, and I remember so vividly some of the things he would do or say that would ignite my little temper or send me into the ‘cold shoulder’ mode. Some of those memories […]

Started to pour some cereal into a bowl, and realized that I had opened the box up on the wrong end.  Too late. There it was right in front of me…. Life –  upside down. Made me think of a story a minister shared last Sunday.  His sermon was about marriage. He talked about a […]

Have had this on my mind for about a year. This is NOT meant to be a negative aimed at all men. I KNOW that there are several out there who have their act together – unless they have me totally fooled – which is possible. Haha. This last year, I have read through numerous […]
