Em-ocean-al Waves
Some days, getting out of bed is the biggest mistake I make. Do you ever feel this way? I suppose we all do from time to time. It’s that part of being human that, at times, seems unavoidable. As the years come and go I’m learning more and more about myself. I’m learning that I…

Special Delivery
Isn’t it sad, just how “unthankful” we can become? Don has sent me flowers at work for Valentine’s Day the last two years I have lived here. When I was living in SD he didn’t know quite how to get flowers to me in the remote area I was living so I received a beautiful…

The “Bevitized” Christmas Letter
I’m not sure about you, but I’m a very visual person. When I look at something, it’s almost as if I can hear my “shutter button” snap and what I see is captured in my memory. When I tell stories, I have a tendency to add as many details as possible so that my listener…

An Insatiable Hunger
As I scroll through posts on my favorite social escape, I can’t help but notice just how much pain there really is in the world. It exists right in front of our eyes, each and every day. There are those that mourn the loss of loved ones, there are those that feel unworthy, some will…

The Harley In The Hall
If ever there was any doubt that opposites attract, Don and I are here to say, doubt not, opposites are indeed, attracted to one another. He is the Morning Glory in the garden of life and I, on the other hand, am the magnificent Moon Flower blooming long after the warmth of the fiery orb…

The Grains of Pain
I’m not sure how grief affects you but for me it happens in spurts. Once the initial loss has occurred it takes a while before the shock dissipates. Eventually you find yourself attempting to put “normal” back into your vocabulary and do whatever you can to make each new day feel like it used to.…

Weight A Minute…..
Is it just me or do you have days when you see someone professing something totally, completely 100% positive and all you can do is maintain your composure while your inner self is secretly imagining how much it would enjoy filling the inside of their car with marshmallow cream? Perhaps one could define this inner…

A “String” of Thoughts
Although I’ve had a tough time getting back into writing on a regular basis, I want you all to know I am still inspired by all the magic in this world. I avoid the news as much as possible as I am learning that in this one and only life we live, we are responsible…

July, June & January
I’ve never been easy to surprise. It’s almost as if, for most of my life, I’ve had a sixth sense about plans being made to surprise me. It may be partially due to the fact that my mother couldn’t keep a secret if she knew it was going to make someone happy. Wrapped presents were…

Dissecting Myself
I’m sure you remember dissecting worms, fish and frogs in Biology Class back in the day but have you ever taken the time to dissect your mind? I have and even though I’ve participated in a few online questionnaires that will allegedly help to pin a “type” on me, I know I have an incredibly…
