I have so much for which to be grateful and I am. There is also a lot of stuff going on for me right now that I would prefer not happen. That doesn’t make me less grateful.
I have to live my life in its totality. I don’t get to say, “I like and am . . . → Read More: Gratitude
I have my share (and then some) of problems, but I also have so many blessings in my life. It seems that I can always find things to complain about, so maybe it’s time to look for, and list, things that make me grateful!
I have so many good friends who look out for me . . . → Read More: Gratitude
We can’t keep doing (or rather, not doing) the same thing and expect things to change. If it were going to work, it would have worked by now. It’s is very clear that it is not going to work.
I am, of course, talking about our gun problem, and it IS a gun problem. There . . . → Read More: Guns
We have spent an awful lot of time in this country trying to drown out the hatefulness that is rearing its ugly head again. I know there have always been people here who hated anyone they could call “other” – people of a different color, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. Lately some people seem to . . . → Read More: Can’t we all get along?
I always do the best I can. Sometimes I feel like the best I can is not very good, but it is always the best I can, so I have to let it be enough. Other people are not as hard on me as I am on myself, and for that I am truly grateful. . . . → Read More: The best I can

But things have changed, and I can no longer do that. As much as I would like . . . → Read More: MERRY CHRISTMAS
If the presents don’t arrive on time, it’s not the end of the world. If everything isn’t perfect, the world keeps spinning.

I am doing as much as I can, running as fast as I can, doing the best that I can. It doesn’t always feel like it, but, deep in my heart, I know it will be enough because it has to be. It is all I can do. And if we all do what we . . . → Read More: Enough
If all you can manage today is to get out of bed, that is enough. Everything in this world seems crazy right now: hurricanes, fires, smoke, Covid, protests, politics, and everything else. It is not surprising if you are feeling so overwhelmed that you don’t know which way to turn, or what to do. It . . . → Read More: Crazy world
I know that some people think I am not doing enough, but I am doing the best I can. I wish I could join the protesters, but, for so many reasons, I can’t. I could list those reasons, but I won’t. If saying I have my reasons isn’t enough for some people, then listing my . . . → Read More: Enough
