This is a line from a show we were watching the other day. It kind of hung with me as I thought about its meaning and advice. Do we chase the feeling of perfection? Do we relive the moments through pictures? What about all those firsts in life; first step, first word, first smile, and…
Middle of Kansas, we saw this sign that read “Adoption, not Abortion”. All sorts of things came to mind as I continued to drive. Most of the things I thought bordered on the insanity of whomever paid to have the sign made. This is a midwestern state that on the outside you would think of…
Everything, and I do mean everything has gotten to be crazy expensive. Inflation is stifling this country. Supply chains, interest rates, stock market, fuel costs, and groceries have all been impacted and are touching every aspect of our lives. It’s hard to justify doing anything when you can’t put your finger on any one thing…
Lately, I’ve been having a hard time motivating myself to get things done. Things that I have committed to doing myself instead of hiring a contractor. Things that Jen wants done, but I can’t seem to put enough focus on to make her happy. It doesn’t help that I feel it is for show and…
Are we? I’ve been wondering about it for quite a while. There was so much Biden could have accomplished over the last two years, but his desire for bi-partisan agreements stalemated important issues. The biggest, of course, should have been codifying Roe v. Wade. They still have two months and no effort is being made….
Jen and I recently had an evening dining with a group of couples that we like, respect, and cherish our friendships with. This is sometimes hard when you don’t share religious beliefs, political ideologies, and in some cases just a geographical environmental difference that has shaped our viewpoints. So, we were very careful not to…
Do you have things from your past that you worry about, maybe even worry about it catching up to you? Some might think of an old boyfriend or girlfriend, an ex-spouse, maybe even someone you were just mean to. My worry isn’t about someone, although I have some people that I had less than stellar…
Once upon a time there was younger me. I was able to run, jump, roll and spring up, lift large items, crawl, etc. without a thought other than doing it. These days, I groan, crack, pop, hurt, get cramps, have lost range of motion, getting lung scans every year, keep my pain pills close, and…
On the brink of our president announcing some kind of student loan-debt relief, I’m seeing the conservative viewpoints being plastered all over social media. Many of these folks are true conservatives of the old Republican Party, because the new version doesn’t have any problem creating the highest debt of any administration before it, it just…
I’m 61 years old and I still haven’t figured out this road I’m on. I’ve come to so many crossroads, forks, and Y’s and if I was to have had a road map, I might have to admit that I’m just as lost and haven’t gotten to where I started so many years ago. When…
