Murky Thoughts

On this dark, damp, dreary day of doodling and dragging my thoughts behind me as if they weighed a ton, I remembered a family on my husband's side of relatives that I had heard nothing about since most of the people in that family line have passed away. The Missionary Conference that I mentioned on... Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Have Gold In Your Portfolio?

I happen to be one of the few people in this life who has never striven for riches in abundance, rather being satisfied with "daily bread" and needs met as they come up. In fact, I have never acquired "a portfolio" or gold coins to place in it. I don't "play" with the stock market, and I use my... Sign in to see full entry.

One Of Those Blah Days

No, not blah blah blah. When I'm having a blah day, I don't do much talking to anyone. It is already evening today and I have verbally said one sentence to someone who stopped at the door. Even computer talk has been very limited and I have totally ignored the phone. Now and then I get that way. Not... Sign in to see full entry.

Why, Betty, Why?

It's like I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on something these days. I found myself sitting in my recliner, feet up, laptop on my lap and behind it was the TV with the news on and it looking like it was sitting on top of the laptop screen, and an open book settled on the wide arm of the chair. With... Sign in to see full entry.

To Keep My Mind Working

Sometimes when I intend to write something in the way of a Blogit post, I sit and stare at the keyboard and it looks foreign to me...like what do I do now to get my thoughts where I want them. Sometimes I have to look all over the keyboard for where to finger tap one letter or one direction I want.... Sign in to see full entry.

Early To Rise

No matter how early I go to bed these days, or how late, it doesn't seem to make a difference, but I wake up around 4:00 a.m. and I can't stay in the bed any longer even though it is still dark and cold. I always look out these winter days to see if there was new snow while I slept. We did have snow... Sign in to see full entry.

The Perplexities Of Aging

Son P.D. and I got into a discussion about the Super Bowl and ended up in a disagreement about the time for the Fly Over in Kansas City time where we will be watching it, as opposed to the time it would be in Arizona time. We could not come to an agreement because Arizona does not have DST (daylight... Sign in to see full entry.

The Humdrum Conundrum

Where does the money go? When I was a teen, my Dad taught me to budget, to tithe, to save, and to spend within my means without borrowing. When I married I found that my Mother-in-Law had done a good job of teaching my new husband the same things and he, in turn, impressed those things on our sons.... Sign in to see full entry.

Hobbling And Wobbling I Am

The cold is getting to me. Hobbling with a painful knee has begun to cause me wobbling with a painful crick in my back. It seems to me it's awfully cold in this part of town. The furnace seems to be at work full tilt without respite, for which I am thankful, and people passing by outside are dressed... Sign in to see full entry.

Does This Mean I'm Getting Old?

The winter weather, or something akin to it, is making me feel old in some type of chain reaction in my body. It began a couple of weeks ago in my right knee that began to jab me now and then when I walked. It has gradually moved upward from my knee to jabbing pains in my upper leg from knee to...

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.
