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.

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.

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.
