What is a good story?

I just got done reading a chapter of the book I'm reading. By the end of it, I had tears in my eyes. It's the kind of book that is deep and gets to the heart of things.

How to save money...

Walk! It is one of those "take a day at a time" weeks. This morning my husbands work van (which I am using right now) would not start. It has a new battery, so I'm guessing it's the starter.

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
