On watching the Olympics and not feeling guilty

Every 4 years, I watch the Olympics, from the Opening Ceremony through to the Closing Ceremony. I cry when our team walks into Olympic Stadium, cry when "The Star Spangled Banner" plays, and cry when the purity of doing your best results in moments like the Jamaican bobsled team walking their...

You know you need a life when...

You get excited because your favorite shows are on t.v..... You find a new flavor of fat-free yogurt.... You see new fashion on the "runway" and they don't look so strange anymore.... You realize you're wearing the same clothes you had on yesterday..... Ah, life, it's an adventure. Today, well, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Wednesday, sigh - meat loaf

It's Wednesday. Middle of the week. Hump day. And for those of us who are job hunting, another day of putting yourself out there and praying - and believing - that the Lord will illuminate your resume and application and make it so that the right place won't be able to ignore it. I have found some... Sign in to see full entry.

...and then there's this guy

Putting yourself out there, as a single woman over 40 is scary. Especially if your ex was abusive, and you've only begun to get healthy emotionally recently. This old friend of mine, who was madly in love with me, found me on Facebook. I was so excited, and when I looked at his pictures, ohhhh......... Sign in to see full entry.

Venting

Family is a wonderful thing - for the most part. There are so many people out there who are away from their families (I for one am a continent away from my son, d-in-law and grandson, who are stationed in Europe), and miss them intently.

I got my hair CUT - read on...

Did you ever have one of those days where you wake up and look in the mirror and go, "I CANNOT deal with my hair one more day!!"? (guys, this is a "woman thing". Your wife/girlfriend may not get her hair done on a regular basis, and she, just like me, will have the "EWWWWW" moment in the mirror and... Sign in to see full entry.

On the verge

In the past year, I have faced despair, transition and in finding safely, have discovered all sorts of "closets" that needed cleaning - areas of my life that were not given to the Lord. In the midst of abuse, it was easy to not have to examine myself. In safety and peace, the closed off areas of... Sign in to see full entry.

Life, for the moment

Sometimes, I feel so blessed silly. After giving everything in me to make my broken marriage work, (and discovering that it is irreprably severed and I've been played by the body part again), I find myself 7 months later, safe; more at peace; on the path I am supposed to be on; graduated from...

An old love finds me in my new life - a poem

In the midst of changing and growth, you found me, online and unexpected; Thirty years have passed since we last talked, lifetimes have come and gone. I wish I could touch your face - I know I cannot; I would run to you without even taking a walk first; Did you know I loved you? I know you loved me... Sign in to see full entry.
