A Normal Kind of Day :-)

Yesterday was one of the most 'normal' kinds of days that I've had in awhile and I was grateful for it, not to mention that the weather was spectacular-- one of our nicest days so far this spring.  I managed to fit in a mix of things at home, both inside and outside, and I …

These Are His Golden Days

He slowly rises from his chair, A little wobbly, relying on his waning upper body strength to pull him up, It's just a regular part of life these days, Things don't work the same as they used to, Certainly not pretty, but it is what it is, And it has been that way for awhile …

T. H. I. N. K.

How many times have we found ourselves in situations wherein we wish we could take something back?  A few choice words, a scornful look, an awkward handshake, a wrong name, a bad lane change, a premature text, a distasteful joke and the list goes on.  What's interesting, of course, is how we all choose to …

Gray Roots

My Gray Roots are showing through, Colour-Me-Blonde in a week or two, My gray roots are showing through, Doesn't seem to matter what I do. My gray roots are showing through, Wiry hairs causing one BIG hullabaloo! My gray roots are showing through, Time to throw an overt coup, My gray roots are showing through, "Silver it is, …

Two Wrong Feet

I jump out of bed, It's time to go! I surely can't be late. I hit the shower, My breakfast I devour, Off to work in a rush. Something seems off, It'll have to do, Finally, I arrive. I paste on a smile, Feels like I ran a mile, I wonder if they'll notice? The …

Always and Forever

Imagine that you are tucking your little one in at night. As you have happily done countless times before. They look up at you with their sweet, innocent smile, as only they can. You don't want to have to go away, but it's this little thing called work. It pays the bills, puts a roof …

“Aw, Come On, Do I Have To Feel?!”

In order to Heal, you gotta feel!  I mean really FEEL!  Sounds simple, right?  Yep, well...not quite.  Not based on my life experiences, anyway. In fact, many of us were/are taught to hide our feelings; you know, sweep them under the carpet, put on a brave face, smile anyway, 'be a good boy/girl'.  But, at the …

The Not So Symbiotic Nature of Marriage

Yesterday, I had a conversation with a longtime friend of mine, only to discover that she and her recent ex-husband are unfortunately at odds over many things necessitating an ensuing court case to settle their differences.  Three young boys are involved.  Since Christmas, I have heard of two other marriage split-ups; one wherein adultery broke …

Blue Autumn

I look in the mirror, A fait accompli, First step completed, Swimsuit on--tee-hee! I enter the pool deck area, The smell of chlorine overwhelms, My knees feel weak, This is out of my realm. The green-blue hue summons, I bravely answer the call, One stair at a time, I trepidatiously enter its wet thrall. "Breathe, …

Bathed in Controversy

Have you ever noticed how some people stay caught up in Controversy all the time?  It seems to be what dictates their life and their actions.  Everytime you meet up with them or speak with them, there is some new drama, some new situation 'brewing'.  I mean, all you have to do is turn on the news …
