Aren’t we on the constant search of who we are? We are in a constant struggle to achieve some goal only obtainable by ourselves. The fear of failure and taking a road with less challenges is probably the lane most of us choose. I hate to fail and I have always said that I win,…
Several months ago, I started experiencing problems in breathing. My worst nightmare had come to life and I was scared for the first time since I was a little kid and thought something would get me from under the bed. I have always been a pretty low key person and most thought nothing ever really…
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…
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…
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…

Do you ever wonder if the members of your family would have a relationship with you if you weren’t family? I often wonder that very thing. It’s not from a position of do they love me type thing, no it is more from a if we were not family would we be friend’s thing and…
Mom… I’m going to miss you. In all the years I have been gone living my life elsewhere, the last six months, being with you and Dad have meant the most to me. I wished we had longer but your body was just giving out. I’m sorry I didn’t understand until the end. No need…
How do we get so attached to our pets? Do they have some mystic power over us making us helpless?
