The winds out of the west blow through my mind whispering the time is right now. Time is one thing that cannot be controlled, it ticks away at our lives either giving joy or causing the opposite by forcing us to opt for a course of action. Often, there is nothing to do, then suddenly … Continue reading It’s Time that Flies

Sometimes, in our finite minds, we realize there is no explanation. Bad things happen but when they happen to us or to those we love -- we seek, we question and we search for answers that are not there. Our faith tells us that although we may not understand now, God has a plan and … Continue reading Do You Hear Me God?

There are people who are creators of unpleasant situations, similar to the Peanuts character, Pig Pen, walking around with a cloud over his head. I know many of these people and I have spent time pondering how to avoid them when a west wind dumps me near to them in public. For example, when you see someone … Continue reading An Umbrella Can Make You Wetter

Each morning I re-invent myself. Looking in the mirror, I resolve to be a better person, kinder, more sympathetic, much more understanding. The face in the mirror smiles at me as I list the “to do things” to make this happen. I’ll be patient – think before I speak, maybe hold back a few seconds … Continue reading Witches Gotta Fly —

My original objective was to never watch a commercial but I have seriously failed. Commercials mesmerize me just by the ridiculousness of them. If anyone ever anonymously leaves a box of Swiffer Sweepers on … Continue reading My Life Today

Her reply was; I don’t know. In surprise, I immediately responded; how could you not know – you’ve had 5 … Continue reading Je ne sais quoi —

I have had this blog for over a year now and only posted one thing, something about retiring and pulling weeds for the rest of my life. Retirement doesn't work and neither does pulling weeds as a long term solution to a perfect lawn. I've given up on both. But the blog is still there … Continue reading Here we go again!

Another year has passed and nothing happened to this blog. But there is always the "New Year's Resolutions!!!!!"

Retirement is not working - I piddle all day and accomplish very little. I did tell the weeds that they don't stand a chance of survival because I have all the time in the world. I can dig them up one at a time. Surrender!

Today I turned in my keys. Not the first time that I retired, done it before. It lasted two months. Tomorrow morning I will be retired again. And I have so much to do, say, and write. My goal is to establish a goal and once I do that I can be as awesome as … Continue reading Final Day
