Feelin’ Lucky?

Feelin’ Lucky?

It's true. As a kid I was always enthralled with the spinning wheel of lotto balls that eventually allowed enough to escape into the heavenly row determining the winning sequence. But I didn’t care about money or the millions simultaneously glued to their TV and ticket. I just liked watching those...

See Evil, Hear Evil, Do Evil?

See Evil, Hear Evil, Do Evil?

Ahhh. I just had the great privilege of spending some time away in the beauty of Minnesota's Boundary Waters (and taking a month off from blogging!). It was so beautifully quiet and visually stunning! In the long, serene hours moseying around nature, I listened to a relaxing audio book. It focused...

Where Death Can Finally Die – In the Best Way!

Where Death Can Finally Die – In the Best Way!

With the recent passage of July 4 - and before that Memorial Day - I have come to appreciate these days of reflection more and more. The longer I live life without being in the service or police force, the more I feel indebted to them (even after a questionable speeding ticket yesterday). And...

When Self Help Just Can’t Help

When Self Help Just Can’t Help

Nowadays, you can't get within a mile of a bookstore without spotting scads of self-help (or "self-care") titles, and this may be the mother of them all! It offers not one, but fifty different methods to help yourself out of whatever problems you have! We all know humans like to help themselves,...

Helpful Hints to Heal Hypocrisy

Helpful Hints to Heal Hypocrisy

Sorry, perhaps a little too much alliteration! Today, I have a confession to make. Maybe this has never happened to you, but I have to admit I caught myself being hypocritical recently. Perhaps we all do things that we say or believe are wrong. If so, we're all on the same playing field. However,...

A Fate Worse Than Laundry

A Fate Worse Than Laundry

I had an engaging conversation the other day about how having a mammalian pet is like having an extra kid. Maybe the same is true for reptiles or amphibians, I don't know. Then later that day, I was relaxing on the couch when a distinct odor caught my attention...urine and poo. I remember smelling...

The Lessons You’ve Taught Me

The Lessons You’ve Taught Me

We've all lived long enough to pick up helpful tidbits. Often these are lessons that would have kept our younger selves from making not-so-great choices. Or maybe they're experiences granted by age that can help someone else get to where you are faster. The wisdom I've learned from others below...

What Is Your Net Worth?

What Is Your Net Worth?

Ever read one of those "See what they look like now!" celebrity web articles? Especially if the title implies they don't look quite so good as they used to? Well I have, so this is a safe space to admit it! 🙂 Occasionally, the context can be healthy - like when we’re encouraged not to try to look...

The Death of Democracy

The Death of Democracy

Well, it's begun: another presidential election season. But the ridiculous embarrassments already associated with both front-runner candidates have caused I - and many others - to become jaded regarding what's really going on in our government. Therefore, my goal this four-year cycle has shifted...

Quoteworthy

Did you really just say that?!? Our youngest has always been a fountain of words that no known force in the universe can suppress. I myself once earned the nickname "Constant Comment" for my occasionally chatty demeanor, but all parties now agree that he has usurped me for that title. Our family...
