It is a gorgeous, bright sunshiny day today. It is also Mother’s Day here in North America. Indeed, it’s a day of celebration for some of the most special individuals in the world; after all, none of us would be here without our moms. Thus, it seems fitting that the sun is shining on this …

“Awful Tired Now, Boss”
You might have heard the following quote before: “Awful tired now, boss.”. Indeed, if you have ever watched the captivating Stephen King flick, The Green Mile, character John Coffey will likely come to mind. Hearing his words, do you know who else comes to mind? Me. That’s who. In fact, “I’m dog-tired” to steal another …
Going Home
“Good news! You’ve improved enough that we’ll be able to release you later today.”. Those sweet, sweet words are the very words you and your family hoped and prayed to hear, but worried might never come to fruition. Your double vaccinations have done their job. It’s the best news you’ve heard since testing positive for …
The Sheep and the Freedom Fighters
There are two distinct camps: The Sheep and the Freedom Fighters. I wonder if it was as divided back in 1918. Certainly, there is evidence of some uprisings with mask-wearing in particular, such as the formation of the Anti-Mask League of San Francisco. The fact that the Spanish Flu took place during war time also …
I Wish…
I wish... I wish that we could all get out of this ongoing mess, I wish that the sun would be shining everyday, I wish that we could see our loved ones without being fearful, I wish that we could see the light at the end of the tunnel, I wish that the third wave …
It Can Pay Off to Deny Yourself
Yum, yum, yum AND yum for my tum! I love chocolate! It doesn’t like me. It’s called acid reflux and if you’ve ever suffered from it, you know how brutal the symptoms can be. I’ve had to eliminate a LOT of tasty things from my diet as a result, which sometimes makes me sad, especially …
Purple-Striped Elephants to the Rescue
Try to imagine some purple in between those lines on this sweet, but rather enormous animal because for some strange reason, I couldn’t actually find an image of a purple-striped elephant?!? I just don’t understand it. I really don’t. It’s completely selfish behaviour and it lacks common sense which seems to have gone right out …
Please Accept Me
Acceptance comes from within.... “Thank you for accepting me into your group.”. “This is my first time posting, so please go easy on me.”. “I’d appreciate any feedback you have, but please refrain from any criticism.”. “I’m so happy to belong to this group.”. “I appreciate you allowing me to join.”. “What do you think …
Pandemic Rules Don’t Apply Here
Social distancing? No. Gatherings of ten or more? Yes. Gatherings of ten or more in a confined space? Yes. Gatherings of ten or more in a confined space that is poorly ventilated? Yes. Gatherings of ten or more in a confined, poorly ventilated space for up to six hours at a time? Yes, often between …
The Look and Feel of the Season
Christmas is just over a month now and my feelings are mixed. Many of us are in lockdown or likely soon facing it. COVID-19 numbers are reaching new heights and death tolls sadly continue to add up. Hoarding has already begun again and the reality that healthcare systems cannot keep up weights heavily. Not exactly …
