When it rains… Have you noticed that it’s not just one thing that happens, but several things? Like someone needs help, and it’s not a simple fix, like you’d hope…   And then you get a call or a text and someone else needs you right now, and that is more pressing, or personal, so … Continue reading It Pours

I'm not good at everything. I don't have to be. Mom always said that I "just got by"..."jack of all trades and a master of none"... and why is that so bad?  Can we really master something?  Can we reach the point where we know everything there is to know about something?

My biggest fear is disappointing others. I am human and prone to anger, prone to mistakes. I will let you down. And for that, I am truly sorry.

I don’t always succeed, but I do try.  Even when I’m frustrated with someone, I still try to be courteous…it is the ‘right thing … Continue reading Courtesy

Like throwing darts at the board and seeing what sticks, I’ve been trying to write a little note for you all.  I’ve written several times about how on the surface things can seem wonderful but beneath it, things are far from well.  I become so overwhelmed with life that I do think of checking out.  … Continue reading Writer’s Block
