On Friday, after spending most of the day away from home, my final stop included that of our town post office to collect our mail. As usual, I had managed to arrive right at their busy time. The local schools were dismissing their students and some of the townspeople had finished up their shifts for …

It All Started With a Romper and a Dress…
… no sweater even needed in the end! The most important part, of course. 😉 Sometimes, you just gotta lay all your cards out on the table and that’s exactly what we did yesterday. I first met K. in our University practicum decades earlier. We were worlds apart then, neither of us knowing or guessing …
“Like Peas and Carrots”
We are all drawn to certain people more than others and every once in a while, you can sense when one of those individuals is outstanding in one way or another. Maybe it is their smarts, their looks, their infectious personality, their life story, their compassion, their confidence, their job success or even the sum …
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 …
A Word in Edgewise
There are some people who you can barely get two words out of and then there are others who just jibber jabber away non-stop.

Not Just Any Card
So strange, yet welcomed. Overwhelmingly so. Until now, I’d never seen it before and yet, there it was in his very own writing. My name, my husband’s name and his name on a Christmas card. From him to us. I mean, there is a chance that he had added his name to a card or …
Hidden and Seen
Some days, it is hidden, Like a treasured memory tucked away, You cannot see or feel it necessarily, But its energy is still flowing. Other days, it is completely transparent, For everyone to see and admire, Its brightness shines through, Vividly breathing life into others in its presence. Some days, it peeks out here and …
Just Working Through Some Things
I'm feeling a little out of sorts today--mostly I think that I am kind of annoyed with myself. I've even chosen to skip my favourite Saturday morning ritual of indulging in my Hula Daddy coffee in lieu of my half-ass decaf standby. Now that is bad, isn't it?! My fellow java connoisseurs will know …
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 …
Can the Real You Step Forward?
Whether you take pride in your work and it's your life's passion or you are simply putting in time as an means to an end, the truth is that once you leave your workplace, be it forced or not, you will be readily replaced unless your position becomes obsolete. Knowing that, maybe it's time to …
Jibber Jabber with Sue
