ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

I n another hour or so, we'll hit the road and we'll be there for a while. I'll be taking my son to the doctor. He has eczema. Lately, he's come home every day with some kind of rash around his eyes like a mask. I can't identify exactly what it is that he's eating to make him break out like that....

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT??

Another small survey..... I know you've probably discussed this subject and then discussed it some more, but do you believe in love at first sight? I'm not sure whether I do or don't. I think I understand being in lust at first sight, but I'm not so sure about love. I know when I met my husband I... Sign in to see full entry.

SIMPLIFYING

This past weekend I didn’t do a lot, but I did accomplish some jobs I had outstanding. Yesterday, I watched television when I was not in the kitchen. Mostly, I watched Discovery and Animal Planet. Today, I am wondering about our needs as human beings. I asked my husband why we needed to have more... Sign in to see full entry.

ON MISSING OUR BLESSINGS

I read a post from Malcolm last night about the goings on at his workplace and it got me thinking about the things that go on around me. The older I get the more I realize how dysfunctional we can become if we’re not careful. We don’t seem to have it within us to be happy when good things happen for... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT'S A BODY GOT TO DO AROUND HERE TO BE READ?

Okay, now that I have your attention and yes, it was a lowdown, dirty trick I'm shamelessly plugging myself here. Would somebody, anybody go Walking Close To The Edge and tell me what you think? This is my Write-Off entry that's not even had one, single, solitary read since I posted it on Monday.... Sign in to see full entry.

WHEN DO YOU QUIT?

S eems like these days, I have less and less time for everything. I am doing a lot more writing and I’m happy for that. I'm proud to say that there's a definite improvement in my writing. Now, there's the matter of deciding where to cut back. I am having fun writing this book. I have to admit to... Sign in to see full entry.

PLANNING FOR THE DAY...

T he older my son gets, the busier my life becomes. Saturday is now book club day. He goes to the book store for two hours, where they read to the group, test their comprehension skills and give them simple projects to complete. Later in the year, they’ll have a field trip. During that time, I get... Sign in to see full entry.

CANCER, SHOULD IT BE A DEEP, DARK SECRET?

Something I’ve wondered about for a long time. I’ve known a few people who have died from cancer. They were not family members. My p eople seem to think there is some kind of disgrace to having cancer. We tend to keep it a secret until our emaciated appearance and eventual death tells the tale.... Sign in to see full entry.

VERBAL DIARRHOEA

I planned to take leave during this month, but forgot to apply for it. I was also planning to take some days off last week, but my co-worker went to America and got stuck, so I had to be at work all week. Yesterday, I told my boss that I was taking the day off. We are now planning an event that is... Sign in to see full entry.

ANOTHER SURVEY….

I am about to write another article on writing networks. The article will be targeted at those who may want to know how being part of such a network can improve their writing. Would you care to share how being on a writing network – doesn’t necessarily have to be this one and you don’t have to... Sign in to see full entry.
