The Way It Goes...

.....Well we lost the football game today, last minute tie breaker. K.C. CHIEFS lost to Denver Broncos at the very last minute. Son and Grandson were wrestling around and bumped into a china cabinet and one door popped open and a favorite crystal goblet fell out and was crushed. It was a gift of... Sign in to see full entry.

I Could Use Some Help Here

How quickly moves the time in one direction. How slowly I go trying to keep up. It's almost as if we are at odds with one another and that time is laughing at my feeble attempts. And yet, I find it enticing to keep trying to keep up. Take my hair for instance....a dirty-gray in color and getting... Sign in to see full entry.

Apple Crisp Coffee Pods and Shots...

I was going to just skip shots this year as I just didn't want to mess with them, but Son wouldn't let me get by. He made an appointment for me, brought me the papers to fill out and dragged me out of my comfy hidey-hole to get me ready for any germs that might come my way. Flu Shot and Covid and...

Where Is Safety?

Where is safety these days? Across the street from my bank, a man walked into a CVS store and shot a female employee nine times (killing her) and then waiting for the police to come for him. I don't know anymore about it, but I don't need to know anymore about it. That's not right... It's just not... Sign in to see full entry.

Things Are Not What They Seem...

.....I definitely have not gotten used to the time change. It has been dark for so long already this evening and I have been sitting in my comfy reading chair with a book and a cup of decaf for the evening. Reading, especially if it is well written, and I am drawn into it, will make me lose all... Sign in to see full entry.

I Guess I'm A Super Senior?

.....The first requirement seems to be-- past 80. Well, I'm well past that. But, how Super am I? The other requirements seem to be a matter of opinion, one of which is that a person can take care of themselves. Basically I do that except for the fact that I no longer drive. Does that mean I'm not... Sign in to see full entry.

Last Night at 2330 Hours...

.....I was still up and piddling around with odds and ends like a late night snack, a game of solitaire on the laptop, playing of soft music, thinking of reading my current book, when everything went black.....all lights went out, all sound went dead. I sat still where I was sitting waiting for my... Sign in to see full entry.

Somewhere In The Shadows

I'm finding myself sliding into one of those periods of time where I am backing off from writing. I'm fighting it, but the harder I try, the more I can't think of a thing to write that anyone would want to read. Sign in to see full entry.

...There was a time My assiduity to my asphodel Was quite impressive... Now I can't even Keep my philodendron watered! Actually, I have in my sunny window two poinsettias, one three feet high, three different kinds of cacti, another succulent of some kind, a philodendron and a lemon tree. They do...

Gratitude Is A Game Changer...

.....It is a Life changer, a situation changer, a mind changer. It is something that we only think about around Thanksgiving time, but it is so much more than that. Gratitude is powerful. It is a healer of wounded hearts, of difficult situations. It is contagious. It is a healer of wounded souls, it... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I accidentally erased my whole Perplexities blog and everything that was in it from 2004 on. So-o-o-o-o-o, I'm beginning it again. Wonder how far I'll get before I make another big mistake.
