Pictures of Sunsets

I'm not feeling like writing these days. I have nothing to write about but myself, and I am finding myself a subject lacking in allure. Everything is going fine, but I am having trouble mustering enthusiasm for anything but exercise. I still haven't made that damn purse.

So, here are… Read full post »

Endorphins have got to be the best thing ever invented.

 I am still loving the exercise. Are you guys? I highly recommend it just for the feel good you get after a good sweat. Hoping tomorrow has another positive day in store for all of us. Read full post »

I have been having really good days for quite a while lately, and I am enjoying it. It is so amazing to come out the other side of depression. Enjoying being alive is not something I thought I was missing but apparently I was. Huh. *link*

My latest crush...

Sally & Max

Sally stretched, luxuriating in the feel of the sun on her skin. It had been a long, cold winter, and she was more than ready for spring. In the meantime, this nice tropical resort would have to fill in. There was nothing like being close to the equator in January. Ah,… Read full post »

An Excellent Day

I love feeling as though I have just had the most perfect day of my life. It may be the physical labor I performed creating endorphins. It may be the sunshine and fresh air resetting something in my chemical balance. It could be the sense of accomplishment from completing all of… Read full post »

My List...

Things to be thankful for:

1. Life

2. Health

3. No one in my family dying this year, though my sister’s cat, Sally, has passed away this week. R.I.P., Sally.

4. I still have my teeth, though they’re a bit sore atRead full post »

Trust Yourself First

Another epiphinical moment. Is that a word? I think it is. I love working in my yard. It's very 'in the moment' kind of work.

Trust is a biggie. And not trusting yourself to make good decisions can really screw things up.

Trust Yourself First.

And have a wonderful day!… Read full post »

I'm taking another step on the road to authentic living. I wish it were as easy as being inauthentic, but, I may end up with the positive benefit of having nothing else to complain about. If that's the case, I'll take it.

The Time Has Come...

The Birthday Weekend- Saturday

As you may know, Open Salon cavitated yesterday. As a result, I posted at Our Salon.

I was trying to maintain two blogs last summer and it didn't work for me, I find putting the same blog in two places, that share so many of the same members, to be… Read full post »

Winding Up 50 Years of Life

Waiting for Results in My Race

Well, it's nail biting time. Four precincts have reported and I am, so far, in last place. With two seats pending and four candidates, that's not looking good.

My town, heck, my whole state, is heavily Republican. The top two right now are the Republican candidates, which suggests a lot of… Read full post »

Miranda's Shadow (short fiction)

Miranda paused, poised for flight. A sound had reached her, a shadow had caught the corner of her eye.

"Let go of my eye, you damn fool," she whispered to the shadow. "How am I supposed to see what made that noise if you keep blocking my peripheral?"

"Oh, sorry, but… Read full post »

A Night on the Prairie

A Poem

Not hopeless enough to quit

Not caring enough to fight

Knowing what needs to be done

Wondering which
