As I was going over the many challenges I have had so far this week, this saying popped into my head. I heard it many times from family members as I was growing up in an English, Irish, Scottish family here in the US. This is what I found as a definition of it. “KatyContinue reading “Katy Bar The Door”

…and you are working on a masterpiece. A friend wrote that to me today and I thought that was a beautiful way to put it. It was perfect timing for me as I had some bad news today and was really feeling down, wondering why everything seems to come at you when you are alreadyContinue reading “Life is a Painting Within Our Soul”

How many times have you caught yourself doing something you just thought your spouse did, even the irritating things? Are we subconsciously doing those things because we miss them? Or, do we also have those habits and they weren’t apparent while they were alive? We focused on them. What their needs were. What we couldContinue reading “Am I Taking On My Spouses Habits?”

In a previous post I wrote about getting my Teddy Bear and why. However, early this morning, as I rolled over, I felt Teddy next to me and when I picked him up and hugged him to my chest, I realized I felt a very special feeling, one a child would feel with their specialContinue reading “Hug A Teddy Bear”

I just realized, as I heard the sound of little bells from my blog notifications, how much I enjoyed hearing them first thing in the morning. There is a kind of excitement to see who sent a comment, or “liked” a blog I wrote, or reading someone else’s post. It starts off my day knowingContinue reading “Notifications Can Be Special”

I read H.J.Tanners post this morning and some of the list of her ten benefits really inspired me! First of all, it hadn’t occurred to me there were positive benefits from this. Oh sure, we try to think positive thoughts, but actions? Well, one of her benefits surprised me. I do know some people goContinue reading “It Pays To Blog And Network”

Going to church yesterday was exactly what I needed to give me the peace I needed. This little community church in this tiny town in Montana is full of friendly people of all ages and the pastor quotes from different books of the Bible to give a better, all around picture, and history, of whatContinue reading “Attitude Adjustment”

I remember the saying “It’s better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all”, how you can’t hate someone unless you care about them as somehow they have hurt you, but I think hate is a very strong word. You can love someone, but sometimes not like them. When we startContinue reading “I Guess If We Didn’t Have These Emotions, We Wouldn’t Be Alive, Wouldn’t Have Loved, Wouldn’t Have Lost”

Many years ago I wrote a poem about how life is like a train, each car a different chapter of life events, and as I pondered my new life this morning, I was thinking about the emotional roller coaster ride I am on and all the hills and valleys I am going through, sometimes daily.Continue reading “My Life Train”

I didn’t think I had anything with Ted’s voice on it to help me remember it, then I remembered the video I did at the Wheel of Fortune tryouts when he was interviewed up on stage. I got excited, got up, and played it. Yes, tears started falling but it was so worth it! IContinue reading “I Heard His Voice!”
