Not letting hurt turn into bitterness

I tend to not want to write if I'm having a bad day or week. I am having one of those, so it's been hard to write. All I can say is I am looking at my life because of some things that have been revealed to me. Some things happened recently in my relationship with my son and daughter-in-law. They are hurt and my son told me some things that have hurt them. The things they have told me were mostly concerning the way I do things (or don't do things). Also about things that I do that are irritating.... Sign in to see full entry.

Story about when I found 3 pistols

I am writing another entry, as TAPS jogged my memory of an incident that happened several years ago. It's about a bag I found. We were traveling to Mexico and had to make a bathroom stop somewhere on the Oregon/California border. We pulled over at a view point. There were no bathrooms, so I had to walk down a trail down the hill. On the way down I saw a blue bag in the bushes. I didn't touch it, but was curious, so I told my husband about it. He said it was probably somebody's trash and to... Sign in to see full entry.

Update on Robert Park

I am hoping that Robert Park will stay in the news for a long time. There is a new update I just read that says he was beaten, but now is in Pyongyang and will take months to recover. I will put the link below. There are a lot of other articles of interest concerning this issue. Another day, another nap. I felt better, but ended up buying a small coffee in the afternoon. I think my caffeine consumption has gone down, so that may be part of the reason I've been so tired. I got out and did errands... Sign in to see full entry.

Sleeping... a way of dealing with stress?

The last 2 days I have been very tired. Another nap today. I'm hoping I will soon get my energy back. I think it is a combination of needing rest for a long time and my way of dealing with stress. The basement re-modeling is coming a long nicely. Greg and our two teen sons are working all day there. Today they got a wall up. We were going to make a kitchen with cabinets... but since my son and wife will not be living there, we are only putting in the plumbing, but not the kitchen. We have a... Sign in to see full entry.

Todays' trivia

Today I took a 3 hour nap. I have been getting up early, so really needed it. We have been re-modeling our basement. Originally our son and daughter-in-law were going to move in there when it was completed, but they have changed their minds for various reasons. But I am still glad it is getting done, as it could be useful in the future if we ever rent this house out. I have not been in the writing mood lately, but have been having some time to read several posts each day. The calendar I started... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
