All Grown-Up?

I was struck by something funny the other day as my husband and I prepared our Easter dinner a day early for a change. Ready for my big revelation? I think that we are officially all grown-up now. How’s that for news? Not really news, is it? I realize that that statement may sound silly …

I’m Just a Number Amongst Many Numbers

Life-work balance? This year is my 25th anniversary. Well, officially it is my 26th, but my first year didn’t count. Likely, you’ve guessed that I am not speaking about my wedding anniversary here. Instead, I’m referring to the number of years that I have spent in my profession. That’s a lot of time dedicated to …

Can We Make It Tomorrow Instead?

Would you go back and do it all over again? In some ways, I would and in other ways, I’d say a very polite, “No, thank you.”. Of course, perspective is all relative to time, isn’t it? Knowing what I know now, I’m glad I did many of the things that I did, but I …

Smiles Then and Now

Natural beauty at its best! Over the holiday season, my husband and I watched some of the free movie channels that were offered. As it turns out, a few of the flicks that we had taken in were set in the 80’s or 90’s—-our growing up era. You know, oldie but goodies. But not that …

A New Day Begins

The exact yoga pose that I practice each morning... just not as eloquently. My weary mornings begin at 6 AM. Well, 6:05 really. I hate o’clocks (:00). They are too round of a number or dictative or something. While I know that my wake-up call could be much earlier as it is with some others, …

“The Day is Half Over!”

When I was younger, I ran on a noontime schedule as much as possible. Anything beforehand was heresy. I mean, there was no need to be up with the birds since one could do whatever needed to be done later in the day, or at least that was my thinking at the time. Instead, morning …

Drooling Over Myself Decades Later

As a child, I used to watch my parents fall asleep in their rocking chairs after dinner.  I could never figure out how they could sleep sitting upright like that, heads dangling, often snoring which never worked out well for TV watching for us kids.  That was okay though, because their nap time equalled more …

A Humourous Look into Some Whatchamacallit Viruses

If you are like us and you are open to some humour as well as a much needed break from all of the COVID19 news, then you have come to the right spot.  As I lie awake in bed the other night, I thought about some of the 'illnesses' which I am sure that I …

Are We Really Turning Into Our Parents?

What do rising meat prices and falling asleep in a rocker have in common? Well, they are two subjects that I SWORE as a kid I would either never a) discuss or b) find myself doing and yet here I am. Proud owner of both. But that's just it...I'm not exactly happy about it. The …

45 Years of Wisdom Speaking, If You’d Care to Listen In…

I am in my 45th year of experience here in this world of ours and I'd like to think that I know a little something about something.  Well, sometimes, anyway;-).  There are moments in time when I will admit that it is hard to believe that me, little Sue of the family (the youngest and …
