About Bouncing...

“You always bounce back. How do you do that?” These were the words one of my friends said to me last night as we sat over a cup of her delicious Cuban expresso. I had to think for a minute before answering her. What exactly did the word ‘bounce’ mean in this context? If she was telling me that our... Sign in to see full entry.

ABOUT MOVING ON

It’s never easy living with a person who, for the lack of a better description, is dependent on various substances (alcohol, drugs, etc.) to get through each day. When the dependence leads to intimidation and/or violence, then it is impossible to continue if one wishes to enjoy a quality of... Sign in to see full entry.

ABOUT MY MOM...

It’s Mother’s Day. Let me tell you a little something about my Mom. I say ‘little’, because her life story would fill a book. It’s a story I intend to write some day, but not yet. My Mom was tiny, measuring in about 5 feet, with huge, long lashed, blue eyes and curves in all the right places. A... Sign in to see full entry.

A NOTE ON THE RUN...

In the distance my mountain stands majestically, its top still partially shrouded in mist not yet burned off by the heat of the early morning sun. Over the chirping and trilling of the other birds, I hear the call of Canadian geese. I look up into the bluest of skies, straining to see their... Sign in to see full entry.

I miss you guys.

I just got flushed outta here. How insulting is that? You write, write some more, then it all disappears! And you're left wondering if it's going to show up tomorrow - if you'll end up repeating yourself..... I'll risk the repetition. I wanted to tell you all that I miss coming in and getting my...

Is Routine a Flaw?

As we age, we adopt certain routines. When the routine is interrupted, it can cause one to feel ‘out-of-sorts’…in our mind there is something not quite right. It happened to me this morning, because after gazing at my mountain with my first sleepy sips of coffee, I logged onto Kilroy’s Blog. There... Sign in to see full entry.

We'll be there soon.

The signs that I’m working too hard are all there. How many times a year do I tell myself, “Enough, already!”? Often. Far too often. It’s always followed by, “We’re nearly there. Soon (in a week, a month, 2 months, etc) I’ll take time off.” The ‘soon’ is like ‘tomorrow’. It never seems to come... Sign in to see full entry.
