TO BLOG, OR NOT TO BLOG

Picture courtesy of Photobucket “There has been no blogging for awhile.” Her tone was slightly accusing over the phone, a question disguised as a statement. There was no point in using my standard excuse of ‘lack of time’ with her; she knows one can make time, so I told her the real truth. “I tend... Sign in to see full entry.

FOR MY BLOG-IT FRIENDS

Time is giving me a merry chase! Well, sometimes not so merry. It seems I've been spending much of it in and out of the hospital with my brother, or negotiating rush hour traffic to come and go there. In between the visits, there's the struggle to get the office up and running again with a smaller... Sign in to see full entry.

ALL ABOUT "NOW"

How many of you have read the book The Power of Now? It is written by Eckhart Tolle, and Oprah was promoting it on her TV program a while back. A friend, who is a fan of that formidable talk show lady, gave me a hard cover edition as a gift. I need to read it again. I can’t remember all of his... Sign in to see full entry.

NAME THIS WRITER

(Photo courtesy of Photobucket) Sky Watch The nuance of the sunlight at the closing of the day Calls inspiration, inviting me to play With visions of bright Angels watching over us again The pastel colors of rose touching clouds of grey I feel uplifted and renewed once more With these celestial...

SMILE! IT CHASES AWAY MR. GRUMBLE!

Fred, with his sister Erika, and his little brother, Raphael. It was Erika's Spring Prom. I forgot to mention in my last post that my grandson moved in downstairs. Being a wise lad, he was already installed before Christmas Day; he didn’t need to worry about driving home after drinking his season’s... Sign in to see full entry.

IT'S BOOGIE TIME!

Sometimes one just needs to take time out, step away from the world, and recharge the batteries. I know – a warning would have been nice, but it wasn’t planned. It just happened. You would think that I’d have learned by now to pace myself; it would be the intelligent thing to do. I recognized the... Sign in to see full entry.

AND FINALLY - THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

There is nothing like starting off your day with a laugh! Most of my mornings begin by reading Kilroy’s blog, and today’s post with his witty comments about the continual repetition of Christmas music had me giggling before I finished my first coffee. I fully agree with him – it’s called too much of... Sign in to see full entry.

TO SLEEP, OR NOT TO SLEEP

When I went back to bed around 6 AM yesterday, I forgot to set my alarm. I fell into a deep sleep, and only woke when the phone rang. It was my office, wondering where I was, telling me it was near noon and the family was on its way to pick up the Christmas basket. Needless to say, I didn’t make it... Sign in to see full entry.

A HARRIDAN? ME???

My daughter phoned me yesterday, telling me she was returning my call. I was confused for a moment, because I had not tried to contact her. Then she noted that the number showing on her Caller ID was from my home, and I was at the office. We quickly deduced that it was my grandson, who returned from... Sign in to see full entry.
