Ok, first of all I’m not asking anyone for help! I’m presently visiting friends in beautiful eastern Ohio! I’m not always sure if my full time brain processing thoughts is a good thing. But today I started thinking about what I was told me. She told me that just because I’m an independent woman, sometimes it’s ok to ask for help. So here is where my brain went today. It’s all decided when you…

Do you ever find yourself keeping secrets? Or simply holding back things that could hurt other people? Do you ever find yourself observing the ones you love or care about the most? You watch, you learn and you listen. And you learn that sometimes there is something there that is going to not only hurt you but that person as well. Or you see something highly surprising that a person doesn’t want…

Throughout the years I have met a lot of people. Not saying some became friends, because very few have ever made it to that status in my life. I love to observe people. I like to try to figure people out, it’s a never ending process. Just recently I went on a cruise to the Bahamas and had a wonderful time. I was fortunate to make a couple of friends on my very first day. The woman was absolutely…

Throughout life people come and go. It’s a never ending process. Every day we meet someone new or we lose someone. Some things are just not meant to be a part of our lives, and that goes for people too. People come and go from our lives for a reason. Some people stay and are there for you for years or just days. Some are there for a reason, whether to show us a path or just to teach us a lesson…

Ever wish there were less lemons in the world? Ok I’m not talking about eating or adding to drinks lemons. Many of you know the difference. But in all actuality there are a lot of different lemons, as we are going to call them, in the world. Some people would consider using shapes to describe things. Kind of like find a corner in your circle. Not a very likely thing to happen. I guess that’s why…

So I’m just sitting here, realizing how affectionate I am with a man! Wow! Never really expected to actually think about that one. Then I start thinking, Why? Well that actually turned out to be pretty simple. When I first met him, it was a simple hello. The next time started with a simple joke! It’s amazing to me that the one thing that can tip you over the edge for another person is, a hello…

I sometimes find it amazing at the number of people you meet, or discovery of new places. I came to this small town well over a year ago to be with my father until he passed away 6 months ago. We went through a lot together, trip north, talk of moving, he got sick with a tumor he named Jack. He had surgery to remove Jack and they found cancer and had to remove a kidney. That was right about the…

There comes a time in all our lives, when sorrow hits us full force! What do I mean by that? Many of you would say, that is a normal part of life. I can disagree, especially if it was someone else. But this is my life. August 10 will be 15 weeks since my dad died. While yes that is rough on a child that has always been close to a parent, it gets worse. Some time after my dad’s passing, I met a…

I often wonder how I’m going to start this. But why not start from the beginning? After all, we all have to start somewhere. Each day is different for me, rarely do we ever have a simple repeat like the move Groundhog’s Day. That would definitely be a fluke to actually get a chance at the same day until we get it right. I’m not too sure I would actually like that though. But why not? What if we…

A lot has been going on around here lately. My father is slowly getting worse, the combination of radiation and chemo pills are starting to have a rough effect on him. He’s more tired lately has very little strength and slowly starting to forget things. It’s rough to see him this way but I keep going because I want him happy. I bought a journal for him the other day, it says on the front “be…

Chances Are…

Ever wonder what you need someone on the street, that maybe you know them just like pictures? For a while now, there has been a young lady pushing a stroller with a young little blond boy, very cute. But, what are the chances that actually this person is someone you know. So for months now I’ve seen this young lady walking her baby and smiling you’re happy person, yeah I can never get past she…

I now understand why I’ve heard people say “Cancer isn’t easy.” For the simple fact it’s hard as hell! My father was diagnosed with a brain tumor a month ago. A few hourswr and candles were on the internet and the the asame were in the mail for for the most part knnjn the mail and mail mail and no. I weeks ago we found out it’s stage 4 cancer. Up north until almost a week ago he was still…

I got a new car today. Very happy with it so far. I’ll be heading up to see my kids at some point in about two months. It’s been a long time, I know my daughter will be happy to see me since she worries about me and my dad. Lots has happened since I last seen her, so we may have a good cry coming due to the injustice of life. I’ll be going to see my youngest son at the same time. I wish my dad…

Living with change – Part 1

A year ago, I was still driving a truck with the knowledge my life was about to change. What change you say? Well let’s back up a step. It all started at the turn of 2020. I was talking to my dad nearly everyday. Which was normal. We talked about mom a lot and I was about to talk to mom too when I could. What I remember most at the time was thinking I miss mom. It wasn’t that she wasn’t there,…

Two months ago, OK almost two months, I started working at the local Marine base. So every morning I get up shortly after 2am to be to work on time by 330am. The purpose each day is not just working, its feeding the recruits each morning for breakfast. Day in day out new faces and some are the same. Every two weeks we get new recruits. So again we start seeing new faces. After so long a person…
